Quite possibly one of the most HONEST people I've ever met, Shefali Shah had my jaw on the ground so many times throughout this interview.
Shefali has built her career refusing to be background in someone else’s story. She’s turned down roles that reduce women to relationships and has always pushed one question to the front: who is she, beyond who she belongs to? In doing that, she’s quietly been giving women permission to step outside the expectations written for them.
Here’s what struck me about Shefali. The woman who is unapologetic on screen used to tie her self-worth to whether she landed a lead role or not. The woman who prioritizes her relationships with her girlfriends once didn't set boundaries for herself. The woman who tells others not to rush into marriage worked hard at being the perfect good girl so she could one day be the perfect good wife.
That’s not a contradiction. That’s what it looks like to unlearn the rules you were raised with. Messy. Non-linear. Honest. And in that honesty, she creates space for other women to do the same... to question, to push back, to not meet every expectation placed on them.
She said something I keep coming back to: we teach women to be defined by their roles... wife, mother, daughter. But the moment you see yourself only through those labels, you stop asking the most important question. Not what do I owe everyone else, but who am I when no one is watching?

[\I sat down with Anil Kapoor and I wasn't expecting it to go this deep.
We started talking about what it was like growing up, watching his dad get let down by an industry that once celebrated him and then didn’t. That moment stayed with him. It shaped his drive, his sense of responsibility, and the pressure he carried... not just to succeed, but to provide for everyone around him.
Then we got into his daughters... two of the most fearless, outspoken women in Indian cinema today. He brushed off any credit. But as we kept talking, a pattern emerged: every answer pointed to someone else. His dad. His wife. His kids. Never himself.
So I called it out.
What followed was one of the most honest conversations I’ve had on this show... about being a girl dad before it had a name, the tension between providing and being present, and what it costs to give everything to everyone without ever asking what you want in return.

There’s a version of Kajol the world knows: iconic films, unforgettable characters, timeless moments. This conversation is not just that.
When Kajol sat down with me, she was completely unapologetic. We talked about starting in the industry at 16 with no plan, the difference between her generation and Gen Z and why too much information might be making it harder to know what you want.
Now raising kids in a completely different world, she opened up about parenting a Gen Z daughter, the pressure young girls face today and how motherhood forced her to learn one of the hardest lessons: to stop talking and start listening.
We also revisited some of the most iconic films like Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham... and let me tell you, she did not hold back. From laughing through emotional scenes to unpacking complicated family dynamics, to admitting what she’d actually change if those scenes were shot today… we got into all of it.
If you grew up watching her, this will hit you in a completely different way.

There's a version of Nora Fatehi the internet has decided on. This conversation is not that.
When I sit down for these conversations at Shame Less, I always expect honesty — but when Nora sat down with me, she gave us everything, and I mean EVERYTHING. We talked about growing up in Toronto, feeling pulled toward India with no connections and no plan, and how she didn't just show up and hope for the best — she studied, she strategized, and she outworked everyone in a room that wasn't built for her. She got into what growing up without her father did to how she loves, what feminism actually means to her beyond the headlines, and what she really thinks about men. All of it, unfiltered.
If you think you know her, watch this. You don't.

This convo hit HARD. And it's uncomfortable. Which is exactly why we need to talk about it! Richa Chadha and I discuss something too many people stay silent about: the fact that almost every woman we know has been groped, harassed, or assaulted.
That’s not rare. That’s a system. And instead of fixing the root cause, we keep telling women to “be careful” while ignoring the real issue: the way we raise our boys.
If you’ve ever said “not all men”… this is for you.If you’ve ever felt unsafe just existing... this is for you too.

This episode is for every man who’s ever been told to “man up.”I sat down with writer and mental health advocate Nikhil Taneja to talk about something we don’t talk about enough: how the patriarchy is hurting men too!
From emotional repression to performative masculinity, we unpack how outdated ideas of manhood are leaving so many men feeling lost, disconnected, and alone... and what real strength and healing actually look like.
We cover:
-Why vulnerability is a superpower
-What healthy masculinity really looks like
-How pop culture has failed our boys
-And why men need safe spaces just as much as women do

She’s breaking records, but somehow still has to prove herself?! In this raw and refreshing convo, Dhvani Bhanushali opens up like never before... talking about beauty standards in music, the shame we inherit around words like “sexy,” why success doesn’t always feel like success, and the fear that even a billion views won’t be enough.

💄 The pressure female artists face just to show up
📦 The boxes women are placed in when they express sexuality
📉 Why success can feel scarier than failure
📈 How Dhvani redefined her worth beyond the charts
Oh—and we scream the word “sexy” multiple times. You’ve been warned. 😅

This conversation with Ananya Panday surprised me in all the best ways! We talked about everything from mental health and unrealistic beauty standards to sisterhood, storytelling, and what it really means to be Gen Z in the spotlight.
Ananya opens up about navigating pressure, online trolling, being raised in the industry, and how the roles women play (on and off screen) are finally shifting. Plus, we got into her show Call Me Bae, what it means to lead as a woman, and why women supporting women is the real plot twist.

Sat down with the incredible Ali Fazal for a conversation that went way beyond the surface.
We dove into everything… growing up with a strong mother, the unspoken rules boys are taught about masculinity, and what it really means to be a man today.
Ali also opened up about marrying a powerful woman, raising a daughter in today’s world, and why true confidence has nothing to fear from strength.
This one is about love, vulnerability, masculinity…and rewriting old stories. You don't want to miss it.

From orgasms to activism, Bhumi doesn’t hold back—and she proves why fearlessness is her brand. This one’s honest, powerful, and very needed.

Why do we reward women for giving everything up? Sanya Malhotra and I unpack one of the most deeply ingrained beliefs about womanhood.
We're taught to admire the woman who sacrifices the most. The mother who always puts herself last. The wife who always compromises. The daughter who never asks for too much. We call it strength. We call it love. We call it being a "good woman."
But what if we've been confusing self-sacrifice with self-worth?
This conversation is about unlearning. About realizing that just because something has always been expected of women doesn't mean it's right. Sometimes the bravest thing a woman can do isn't give more of herself. It's stop believing she has to.
This one might change the way you see yourself.

Ladies, how many times have you smiled through something that made you want to scream? Kalki Koechlin put words to something so many women know intimately: sometimes silence isn't weakness. Sometimes it's strategy.
We love telling women to "just speak up." But things are much more nuanced than that. What if speaking up could cost you the opportunity? The paycheck? The room you're trying so hard to earn a seat in? These are the mental gymnastics all women go through and IT. IS. EXHAUSTING.
In this latest episode of Shame Less with Lilly Singh, we talk about the tradeoffs and the impossible standards women are still expected to meet.
But that's why conversations like this matter. Because when women share the calculations we've all been making in silence, they stop feeling so lonely. And that's where sisterhood begins 💪🏽

Lowkey, I found my twin! @KritiSanon is one of the most self-aware people I’ve ever sat across from. Not because she has all the answers, but because she’s willing to question the life she’s built while still living it.
