In this episode of The Mohua Show, Dr. Debraj Shome — Director, The Esthetic Clinics — speaks candidly about the growing distrust between doctors and patients and the uncomfortable questions shaping modern healthcare. Drawing from more than two decades in medicine, Dr. Shome explores why doctors are often placed on extreme pedestals — seen as “gods” when treatments succeed and “villains” when outcomes go wrong. He explains why medicine is fundamentally uncertain, why biology behaves differently for every human being, and why expecting perfect outcomes from healthcare is unrealistic. The conversation also examines the structural pressures shaping modern medicine — from the rising cost of medical education and corporatisation of hospitals to defensive medicine and the fear of legal consequences. In this episode, we discuss: • Why doctors are often labelled heroes or villains • Why medicine can never offer perfect certainty • The pressure doctors face within corporate healthcare systems • Why medical education has become extremely expensive • The difficult emotional reality of losing patients • Why rebuilding trust between doctors and patients is essential What this episode is really about: Understanding the complexity behind healthcare decisions. Not the simplified narrative of doctors versus patients. But deeper questions about: • Trust in medicine • The uncertainty of biology and medical science • Structural issues within healthcare systems • Why empathy and understanding are needed on both sides of the doctor-patient relationship If you’re interested in healthcare systems, medical ethics, doctor-patient trust, the realities of modern medicine, and the challenges doctors face today, this episode offers both perspective and insight. 🔔 Support The Mohua Show If this conversation changed how you think about healthcare, trust, or the realities of medicine: 👍 Like the video 💬 Comment your biggest takeaway 📤 Share it with someone interested in healthcare conversations 🔔 Subscribe for conversations with changemakers shaping India Music Credits: https://pixabay.com/music/ambient-butterfly-113600/ ✅ Subscribe To Our Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@TheMohuaShow/ Follow Us On The Mohua Show ► Website: https://themohuashow.com/ ► Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/themohuashow ► LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/themohuashow Connect with the Host – Mohua Chinappa ► Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mohua_chinappa/ ► LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mohua-chinappa/ 📩 For queries: hello@themohuashow.com Copyright ©2026 The Mohua Show.

This episode of The Mohua Show is a rich, reflective conversation about language, creativity, class, and what it means to reclaim authorship in systems built around approval and hierarchy. Author, actor, and creator Sumanto Chattopadhyay speaks with humour and honesty about his journey from advertising to independent creative life — and why becoming his own client was both a creative necessity and a risk. What began as frustration with pitching ideas that led nowhere gradually evolved into The English Nut: a passion project driven not by algorithms or audience metrics, but by love for language. From the loneliness and uncertainty of leaving a structured industry, to sustaining himself through multiple creative streams — this episode traces how creative survival often lies in refusing to be just one thing. Through stories of slang, colonial history, and everyday speech, the conversation reveals how language is never neutral. What this episode is REALLY about: - Not grammar rules. - Not linguistic elitism. - Not nostalgia for “correct” English. It’s about: • Creative independence — becoming your own client • Life after advertising — fear, freedom, and reinvention • Broken English — dignity over mockery • Curiosity-driven work — passion over performance metrics • Slang and youth culture — how language evolves • English in India — identity, politics, and belonging • Creative survival — being more than one thing If you’ve ever felt boxed in by systems that reward conformity, questioned about why English provokes both aspiration and resentment in India — this episode will change how you think about language, work, and identity. Support the Podcast If this conversation made you rethink language, class, or creative freedom — share it with someone who believes curiosity should never need permission.

This episode of The Mohua Show is a searing, deeply honest conversation about power, gatekeeping, censorship, and what it takes to make cinema inside systems designed to resist discomfort. Filmmaker Kanu Behl speaks with rare candour about his journey through Indian independent cinema — from giving nearly a decade of his life to a film, to publicly speaking out when its release and distribution were threatened. What began as a personal cry for help, he reflects, soon revealed the deeper power structures that govern Indian cinema today. From organic word-of-mouth that no marketing budget could buy, to the worsening barriers to access that now demand money even to be seen, this episode lays bare a system more interested in extraction than engagement. What this episode is REALLY about It’s about: • Speaking out — when silence becomes impossible • Power structures — who really controls Indian cinema • Gatekeeping — access, money, and exclusion • Corporate dominance — profit over artistic risk • Organic word of mouth — when people choose stories • Formula cinema — violence, spectacle, and repetition • Intimacy on screen — home, family, and emotional truth • The personal as political — why small stories hit hardest If you’ve ever wondered why certain films struggle to be released, why honest cinema feels increasingly rare, or why audiences are blamed instead of gatekeepers — this episode will change how you see Indian cinema.

This episode of The Mohua Show is a powerful and unflinching conversation about racism, patriarchy, migration, and what it truly means to survive as a woman inside systems designed to control her. Writer, feminist, and co-author of The Politics of Patriarchy, Rahila Gupta speaks with rare honesty about arriving in Britain as a middle-class Indian woman — and watching racism strip her of class, security, and opportunity. From being pushed into “ethnic” writing boxes to fighting for abused migrant women trapped by immigration laws, Rahila reflects on how power, gender, and race intersect to shape women’s lives. Drawing from decades of activism and scholarship, she speaks about why patriarchy survives every political system — from democracies to dictatorships — and why violence against women remains its most enduring weapon. She also introduces us to Rojava, a feminist-led Kurdish society inside war-torn Syria, offering a radical vision of what women’s liberation can look like even in the most unlikely places. From landmark domestic violence cases that changed British law to the cultural impact of the film Provoked, Rahila reveals how stories, law, and feminist resistance combine to rewrite what justice can mean. A conversation about power over silence, survival over shame, and why dismantling patriarchy requires both courage and imagination. What this episode is REALLY about It’s about: • Racism and class — how migration erases social status • Writing as survival — finding identity through language • Patriarchy across the globe — why no system is free of it • Rojava — a women-led revolution inside Syria • Feminist resistance — how women build power even in war • Immigration laws — how the state traps abused migrant women • Killing to survive — when abused women are pushed to extremes • Bollywood and abuse — Aishwarya Rai and breaking the silence • Grief and poetry — writing as a way to hold onto love If you’ve ever wondered why women stay, why systems fail survivors, or how patriarchy hides inside law, culture, and even democracy — this episode will change how you see power.

This episode of The Mohua Show is a powerful and deeply reflective conversation about queerness, colonial memory, and the politics of desire in India. Academic and Author of the book ‘Forbidden desire’, Sindhu Rajasekaran speaks candidly about growing up queer under Section 377, uncovering erased queer histories in Indian archives, and how colonial morality reshaped the way gender, sexuality, and women’s bodies are policed today. From Victorian ideas of “modesty” and the criminalisation of queer lives to the forgotten histories of sexually agentive women locked up in colonial institutions, this episode confronts how much of what we consider “tradition” is actually inherited repression.
