Before he sat down with Ayurveda practitioner Vaidya Pankaj Tiwari, Sagar went to his hospital and experienced the Agnikarma therapy on himself. Before he asks a doctor about a cure, he visits the clinic. And when the cameras roll, there is no script — just a curious host from Nagpur asking the questions ordinary people actually want answered.

"Are Baapre began as an expression of surprise. Today it is a reminder that some of the most surprising, inspiring stories are right here in our own city."— Sagar Khapre

My art

Verify first. Then improvise.

Credible guests, everyday questions and nothing scripted. That is what keeps every episode honest, spontaneous and real.

Meet them on their ground

Before an episode, Sagar visits his guests at their clinics, hospitals and workplaces.

Check the claims first-hand

He tests what guests say for himself, from trying Agnikarma therapy to seeing their work up close.

No script. Pure conversation.

Every interview is improvised. He follows the story wherever it goes and asks what the audience would ask.
