What is the true purpose of art—beyond applause, beyond fame?
Can acting become a form of spiritual practice, a path to inner freedom?
In this rare and soul-deep conversation, host Sonia Choksi sits down with the profoundly respected and beloved actor Adil Hussain Sir, an artist known not only for his powerful roles in Life of Pi, Delhi Crime, English Vinglish, and Parched, but for the emotional integrity, humility, and spiritual depth he brings to every frame.
But Adil Sir is much more than an actor.
He is a seeker. A teacher. A vessel for truth.
Raised in Assam, shaped by the teachings of his mentor in Pondicherry, and rooted in silence and self-inquiry, Adil Sir views acting not merely as performance but as presence. For him, art is not a mirror of the world, but a bridge between souls, where empathy flows, masks fall, and beauty becomes revelation.
In this conversation, you’ll hear:
- How roles like Mephistopheles and Othello became tools for inner transformation
- Why acting can become a meditative, even mystical, practice
- The sacred link between stillness, suffering, and creative expressio
- How cinema can heal both artist and audience
- The journey from identity to essence, and the evolution of the soul
💬 Reflecting on questions like:
"Who am I beyond my roles, my name, my gender?"
"Can art awaken a deeper truth within us all?"
"Is silence the most honest form of expression?"
Whether you're a filmmaker, a spiritual seeker, a creative soul, or simply someone trying to live more authentically, this episode will touch something deep within.
It’s not just a conversation about acting.
It’s a meditation on life itself.
Watch till the end for timeless insights on empathy, creativity, soul-conscious storytelling, and the deeper calling of an artist.

There is a reason why actors and artists are seen as different — they often experience life and humanity at a depth most of us overlook. This truth shines in our powerful conversation with Prakash Belawadi — acclaimed actor, director, and thinker, known for his roles in Tashkent Files, Kashmir Files, Pathaan, and many more but definitely the incredible 10 hr + play - Parva
In this episode, Prakash Belawadi ji talks about: Why the strong and wealthy must care for the poor, and what society loses when they don’t. The disturbing reality of Hindi being imposed as a “national” language, when it was only ever meant to be an official one under the Constitution. Why India cannot have one standard rule or authority for such a vast, diverse nation — and why diversity must be celebrated, not suppressed. His practical solution to India’s 50,000+ pending court cases and how systems can actually work better. The concept of the “Krishna Moment” — and what it truly means to be courageous. Why freedom is so difficult, yet impossible without rebuilding trust — everyone with everyone. This conversation is authentic, sharp, and deeply human. You’ll find reflections of your own life lessons in Prakash’s words — a reminder that wisdom often lies in seeing the world differently.
Key Takeaways from this video: The untold struggles of professional theater in Bangalore Why language divides India’s access to knowledge How colonial legacies shaped our systems of governance The truth about India’s cultural identity and resilience Why theater is not just art, but voice This is not just a conversation, it’s a journey through India’s soul.

Meet Mahesh Kumar.
An Uber driver in Delhi… but his real identity is something the city often forgets to see
A man of dignity. A soul shaped by struggle. A human just like you and me.
Born into a farmer’s family, Mahesh didn’t come to Delhi with confidence or connections.
He didn’t know how to drive. Didn’t even know how to survive in a city that moves fast, talks loud, and rarely stops to care.
His brothers got jobs but Mahesh took the road outside the system, one filled with traffic, sweat, and silence.
He says, “People don’t see us drivers as humans. They just see a rating.”
And that broke something inside me.
Because somewhere along the way, we started calling degrees “education”…
But we were never taught to say “please” to a waiter, “thank you” to a driver, or “sorry” when we push past someone.
We celebrate coding in 5 languages… but fail the test of basic human decency.
We call ourselves “developed”… while throwing garbage from car windows and yelling at guards who are just doing their job.
This is not what progress looks like.
Progress is when we follow traffic rules, even when no one is watching.
It’s when we treat the man cleaning our street the same way we treat the man signing our offer letter.
India doesn’t just need engineers, doctors, or influencers.
It needs better humans, with humility, awareness, and heart.
Because real education is not what we score in school.
Real education is how we behave when we think no one is looking.
Until we learn to respect those who serve us…
We will remain rich in tech, but poor in soul.
And no nation can grow… if its people forget to grow up.

What if hunger had no voice… and clean air had a price tag?
In this brutally honest episode, we sit down with Vimlendu Jha — environmentalist, social entrepreneur, and founder of Swechha, a movement that's been fighting for clean air, rivers, and dignity for over two decades.
Vimlendu doesn’t sugarcoat the truth. He talks about what it really means to be poor in a country that’s growing rich — where ration cards don’t guarantee food, protest feels outdated, and clean air is slowly becoming a luxury.
When we think of inequality, we think of money. But what about the inequality of oxygen, opportunity, or even the right to be heard?
From railway tracks to ration lines… from broken education to polluted rivers — this conversation is not just about problems. It’s about why we stopped feeling them.
"People aren’t just hungry for food. They’re hungry for justice, for respect, for a life that doesn’t constantly ask them to prove their worth.”
About the Guest: Vimlendu Jha
Vimlendu Jha is one of India’s most passionate voices on environmental and social justice. Founder of Swechha, he has been working for over 20 years to clean Delhi’s Yamuna River, fight for clean air, advocate for climate action, and give young people the tools to question, protest, and create change. His work spans environment, education, equity, and ethics.
📌 Trigger Warning: This episode discusses poverty, hunger, pollution, and systemic neglect.

What if your final goodbye could be someone else’s second chance at life? This episode unpacks the beauty and the burden of organ donation in India, and the often-ignored emotional reality of being a doctor.
We dive into the heart of transplant medicine from kidney failure to gallbladder myths — and reveal why registration alone isn't enough when families can still say no after your death.
Through raw conversations and real stories, we explore:
✅ The difference between brain death and coma — and what it means for donation
✅ Why India needs an opt-out system and better public awareness
✅ How doctors silently suffer — battling long hours, emotional burnout, and unrealistic expectations
✅ Why water may be your best defense against kidney stones — and how lifestyle can save or ruin lives
✅ The truth about gallbladder removal and fertility in women
✅ The shocking income gap between doctors and corporate professionals
✅ And why every donor card is a seed of hope — if only families agree to let it grow
This isn’t just about saving lives, it’s about rethinking life, death, and the silent sacrifices of our healers.
Let’s talk about what really matters, before it’s too late.

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to chase glaciers — not as a tourist, but as a purpose? ❄️ This isn’t just a video about melting ice. It’s about melting timelines. About the urgency buried deep within the mountains. About what could unfold in the next 50 years — if we keep looking away.
In this deeply personal and data-rich episode, we sit down with Tirthankar Ghosh, a Ph.D. scholar at IIT Bombay and Monash University, as he unravels how one life-altering experience — the devastating 2013 Kedarnath disaster — became the turning point of his life and career in glaciology.
Through heartfelt anecdotes and hard science, Tirthankar reflects on:
✅ How childhood road trips in the Himalayas planted the seeds of curiosity
✅ What glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) really are — and how they’re reshaping our future
✅ The chilling reality of vanishing villages in Ladakh, like Kumig, already abandoned due to disappearing glaciers
✅ Why people in cities like Delhi and Mumbai cannot afford to ignore mountain science
✅ And how AI, research, and long-term thinking must come together for global climate action
This is not just a scientific conversation. It’s a call to reflect on what connects all of us — water, land, climate, and time.

India is at a crossroads — not because we don’t know our problems, but because we keep chasing short-term comforts over long-term change.
This video isn’t just about hunger, floods, or unemployment. It’s about a much deeper crisis: a silent breakdown of systems — governance, planning, values — and a generation growing up in its shadow.
From flooded cities and paper leaks, to malnutrition among both slum and middle-class kids, we dive into what's failing, what’s ignored, and what can still be done.
Meet Happy Faces, a grassroots movement from Vadodara, where 600+ citizens are doing what the system won’t — offering free education, healthcare, and dignity.
We cover:
🔸 How India's growth hides a crisis of hunger, neglect & misgovernance
🔸 The long-term threat of malnutrition — and what kids are learning in its wake
🔸 What influencers, youth, and YOU can actually do that matters
🔸 A powerful reminder: This isn’t charity. This is what justice should look like.
This is not a sob story.
This is not charity promotion.
This is a reality check — with a dash of hope.

What if the discomfort isn’t just about gender, but about the lack of understanding and inclusivity in healthcare?
In this eye-opening conversation, Dr. Yuvrajsingh Jadeja, a leading gynecologist and surrogacy expert, joins host Sonia Choksi to break down the barriers in women’s health and discuss the critical need for gender inclusivity in medical practice. From navigating societal biases to understanding the complexities of treating transgender patients, this episode challenges the traditional norms of gynecology and healthcare.
What you’ll learn in this episode:
-Why men should get tested in fertility cases (It’s not just the woman’s responsibility!)
-The ideal age for HPV vaccination and why it’s important for both genders (yes, boys too!)
-The shocking environmental factors that impact women's health and fertility (processed foods, plastics, and more!)
-How gender inclusivity in healthcare can change the game for better patient care
-What you didn’t know about fertility, menopause, and preventative care (all the actionable advice you need!)
💬 Asking yourself:
- Have I had a conversation about fertility testing with my partner?
-Why don’t we talk enough about HPV vaccination for everyone?
-What can we do to create more inclusive healthcare for ALL genders?

What happens when we remove the labels society, family, or even trauma has placed on us?
Who are we, really, beneath the roles we play?
In this transformative episode, we sit down with Sujata, a deeply intuitive spiritual and emotional therapist with over two decades of experience guiding individuals and corporate leaders through healing and awakening.
We talk about vibrations, identity, karma, pain, self-trust, and the quiet power of choosing awareness over autopilot. Sujata shares how familiar emotional patterns often trace back to karmic memory, and why real healing starts by owning, not avoiding, our emotions.
She helps us understand:
- Why your vibration drops after childhood
- How pain shows up when emotions are undigested
- Why dependency and rejection loop us into suffering
- What it actually means to know yourself
- How to raise your vibration and attract aligned energy
- Whether self-love is selfish or spiritual
This isn’t just a talk—it’s a journey inward. If you've been asking questions like:
“Why am I not happy?”
“What’s wrong with me?”
“How do I feel more like myself again?”
…then this episode may offer the guidance you didn’t know you were looking for.
💫 Sujata’s wisdom is not scripted, it’s soul-led. Her words are a soft but powerful mirror,
helping you remember who you are beneath all the layers.

Trupti Parekh and Ambrish Mehta might look like any retired couple—until you hear their story.
For 40+ years, they’ve lived with tribal communities in Narmada, fighting for land, dignity, and survival.
To the people they support, they aren’t activists—they’re family.
Even today, millions of tribals are called “encroachers” on forests they’ve lived in for generations.
- Outdated British laws like the 1927 Forest Act still deny them rights.
-Why does “development” often mean displacement for them?
-And why are their voices still unheard in 2025, in free India?
This isn't history—it's happening now. Watch to know the truth.

Let’s hear him out on how to build a brand from scratch, when a startup should hire a marketing agency, personal branding strategy, and how to create a viral brand. If you’re an early-stage founder, digital marketer, or content creator, this is your ultimate marketing bible—listen up and thank us later 😉

"What you will learn from this man, you won't learn in five lifetimes." - said her father.
Her father’s bold teachings on life, youth, relationships and living an unapologetic life to her mother’s unwavering values and quiet but strong support, the security and freedom of Ma Anand Sheela’s childhood shaped her into the fearless leader she became.
She agrees that the stability experienced in childhood sets the person for all phases of life ahead and Sonia couldn’t agree to anything more than this!
Meeting Osho transformed Ma Anand Sheela’s path forever, leading her to manage the Rajneesh commune, face legal battles, and rebuild her life with resilience and determination.
What does it take to lead and shape someone else’s dream ? What does it take to stand by your beliefs when the world turns against you? What does it mean to live a life king size and yet of authenticity, fearlessness, and unwavering conviction?
This is the untold side of the famous story of Maa Anand Sheela, the woman who gave it all for Osho. From her humble beginnings to becoming the driving force behind one of the most controversial spiritual movements in history, her journey is nothing short of extraordinary. The person that she is, is beyond ordinary by many many miles!
Osho once said, "Sheela is my right hand." And she says here in this podcast that she still keeps this name because her lover gave it to her 🤗…a passionate, ambitious, non confirming and bold team they made for sure !
This podcast is about leaders and leaderships, about childhood and its impact in our young and old age, about power, about fear and about self expression.
Do tell us if it made it to your heart ❤️

💡 Why should you listen to this episode?
Because plastic is everywhere—in our food, our clothes, even the air we breathe. Listen because our celebrations don’t have to cost the planet. And because our choices today will define our future in old age and complete life of our younger ones. What are we trying to leave them with ?
Did you know that an Indian wedding generates up to 900 kg of waste per event? From decorations to food, so much of it just goes straight to the landfill. But what if we could recycle Indian weddings and give waste a second life? Pooja Mathur, the powerhouse behind GreenStraw Café, has done exactly that—turning her passion for sustainable living into a movement for mindful consumption, eco-conscious lifestyles, and real social change.
From waste management solutions to eco-friendly wedding ideas, she’s proving that small changes can make a big impact. Her journey started as an NGO and evolved into a café, where people learn how to live with less waste and more purpose. She’s tackling issues that most people don’t even think about—like menstrual awareness in slums and why our daily habits matter more than we realize.
🎧 Tune in for real talk on community sustainability, waste reduction, and practical sustainable living tips that you can actually use.

Facing the One Truth We Fear the Most: Death the one certainty of life, yet the one topic we avoid the most. We treat it as something dark, something better left unspoken. We convince ourselves that if we don’t acknowledge it, it won’t come for us. But does silence really change the inevitable? Can pretending it doesn’t exist make it hurt any less?
Why is Death So Hard to Talk About?
In this powerful conversation with Fakeera, we strip away the silence and confront the raw, unfiltered reality of loss. She has endured a pain that few can comprehend—the loss of her own daughter. It’s the kind of grief that could shatter a soul, yet she found a way to navigate through it.

“I bond better with new people over a conversation about the music that they listen to,” he said. “Do you judge them for what they listen to?” I asked in a smart tone as if I have caught him red-handed. He said “come on, why would I do that? It's about music, whichever it is”
Many such crazy memories over a few interactions with the most wonderful 19-year-old musician from Delhi, Moksh Dhawan, who I really just got lucky to have crossed paths with. He experiments with all genres of music - pop, rock, Indian classical, Mongolian folk etc etc. Loves collaborating with other artists and playing solo as much. Truly choosing ‘freedom’ over ‘comfort’, Moksh is an indie musician that brands, studios, corporates, and individuals must welcome in their own ways. The podcast chit-chat is deeply inspiring, re-assuring about the power of the young minds and when you listen to the conversation here, it will give you a sense of why I say that!
Do comment and let me and Moksh know how the conversation was for you, it would mean a lot to us!
Cheers!

But Anvita reasons, and her innumerable awards for innovation in radio prove this, that there is a sweetness to rough sailing too…. If you ultimately love the sea, that is.**

Ashok Pandey. An educator. A family man. A closer.
There isn't anything that he leaves upto fate. He is known as the man who almost always closes a job, after giving it at least a hundred and ten percent to it. When most people would just give up and leave, you will always find him still trying, with a certain, almost devotional enthusiasm.
What could be the source of this unending energy and will power? “It’s very simple. Whenever you’re about to give up, or feel like ending something, ask yourself this- ‘Before going to sleep tonight, when I am reflecting on my day and asking myself ‘Did I give my best?’ Will I be able to reply ‘Yes’ to myself? Thinking of how you are going to justify yourself will make all the difference.
And remember, this is self-reflection. So you cannot lie…
