In this episode, host Dal Banwait brings us an enlightening conversation deeply rooted in personal experiences and cultural contexts.
Dal chats with Mandish Kaur Khebbal, a former MTV TV producer. Mandish reflects on her journey as a second-generation British Indian woman who has traversed and navigated her way through life to follow the career of her dreams, while holding onto her roots and identity.
The episode delves into the immigrant experience focusing on the cultural conflicts and the weight of cultural expectations, the struggles, and pressures second-generation Indians face when growing up in a Western society.
This topic of discussion further expands with detailed stories of significant identity shaping experiences like Diwali, family bonds, family networks, and other cultural practices.
Throughout the podcast, Dal emphasizes the importance of understanding and maintaining respect for diverse beliefs and traditions and that you can be a 'good brown girl' whilst pursuing a career and life on your own terms. The discussion also touches upon the challenges encountered by Mandish in her ground breaking career in television as a young Indian woman and the integral role that freedom of choice plays in shaping a happy life.
