Скачать или смотреть Akansha Ranjan on Being Judged, Shamed & Still Believing in Love | The Male Feminist 136 |Hauterrfly

In this powerful and unfiltered episode, we dive deep into one woman’s journey through body image issues, evolving period conversations, being typecast as “aisi ladkiyan,” and the harsh realities of the entertainment industry including being told to “lose weight and come back.”

She opens up about her relationship with food, growing up as a plump child, dealing with period stigma on set, and even a shocking moment of being flashed by an auto driver in Mumbai. We also talk about financial literacy, feminism, and the cost of looking like an actress. Plus, a fun rapid-fire round and sweet stories about her bond with her sister!

✨ Raw, real, and relatable — this one’s for every girl who’s ever felt judged.

Presented in association with our Period Hygiene Partner SOFY, this conversation breaks period taboos and explores how women deal with shame, silence, and strength, with humour and heart.
