   EP61: The Cast of British Asian Film Never Had A Chance ft. Jazz Bhalla, Tina Sharma and Amar Chaggar

   Growing up, we didn't see enough people who looked like us on screen and the representation we did get was often stereotypical and wasn't one we recognised ourselves in which is why this episode means a lot to me as I sit down with the cast and director of a new British South Asian film called Never Had a Chance. Never Had A Chance is an award-winning British Asian film set in the heart of the Punjabi community in Hounslow, West London. It is directed by Jazz Bhalla and stars Tina Sharma and Amar Chaggar. The film follows Ravi (Amar Chaggar), a young man navigating the weight of his past while trying to build a future. When a new connection offers a glimpse of something more stable and meaningful, he finds himself at a crossroads but those closest to him threaten to pull him back into the life he's trying to leave behind. In this episode we talk about: 🍿 What went on behind the scenes to bring this film to life 🍿 The importance of British South Asian representation in film and TV 🍿 Navigating life as an actor, actress and director 🍿 Whether the moment for South Asians in film and TV has arrived or is still to come? 🍿 Why we need more people telling stories that matter to our community Honestly, one of my dreams is to do press junkets and be able to interview movie directors and actors (hopefully this is the first of many) so thank you Media Hive  for the opportunity!

   Have you ever felt stuck in a job that looks good on paper but doesn't with align you, then this episode is for you. Today we are talking about career switching and how to actually change your career to a job that’s more aligned to you. Growing up, I was told that you should pick a career and stick to it but the world of work has changed and so has the way we see our careers/jobs. I’m joined by Priya Raj, a fashion and lifestyle journalist who has written for Vogue India and worked at Business Insider and The Telegraph among other big global publications.

It wasn’t easy to start a new career in our 20s, but in this episode we are going to share how we did it, what motivated us to take that leap, how we keep our imposter syndrome in check and whether or not we regret it. So if you are someone who’s struggling with their career or having a little bit of a career crisis and don’t know what to do- then this is the episode for you!
