What happens when “honour” matters more than humanity?
This episode uncovers the harsh reality of honour-based abuse through the powerful story behind Karma Nirvana. From being labelled the “black sheep” for choosing freedom, to the devastating consequences of silence and societal pressure, this is a conversation rooted in truth, courage, and change.
When “log kya sochenge” becomes louder than safety, lives are shaped and sometimes shattered. And it’s not just women this affects, men too suffer in silence, often overlooked in these conversations. This episode sheds light on both.
Because honour should never come at the cost of a life.
Stay tuned.

Women’s cricket was once overlooked, underfunded, and often treated as secondary… but today, the game is changing 🏏🔥 In this episode, we dive deep into the rise of women’s cricket—how it has evolved from being underestimated to now competing for equal recognition on the global stage. Our panel of experts shares powerful insights on the challenges women have faced in the sport and what’s finally driving this shift. From the reality that many girls drop out of sports at a young age, to the lack of expectations placed on them early on, we unpack the deeper issues that have held women back for years. We also explore how confidence, family support, better opportunities, and innovation are now helping change that narrative. Hear from Kamal Prabhakar, Mugdha Deshmukh, Pratim Das, and Nitin Teckchandani as they discuss everything from the importance of representation and encouragement to innovations like platforms supporting women in sports and even the evolution of kits designed specifically for female athletes. Is women’s cricket finally getting the recognition it deserves, or is this just the beginning of something much bigger? 🎬 Watch now and join the conversation
