Aparna Shewakramani: From Matchmaking to Owning Her Story


Listen Later

You might know her as "the villain" from Netflix's Indian Matchmaking, but my friend Aparna Shewakramani is so much more than a label. In this candid episode, we’re going behind the reality TV edit to talk about what it truly means to be an unapologetic, strong-willed woman in a world designed to put you in a box.

Aparna shares her fascinating journey of how she transformed a negative public image into a symbol of empowerment for South Asian women everywhere. We get real about the challenges of being misrepresented, the evolving landscape of media, and the power of setting boundaries in our own lives.

And friends, the conversation gets even more personal as Aparna opens up about her courageous decision to freeze her eggs. She tackles the myths and stigmas surrounding fertility head-on, sharing why this deeply personal choice became an act of self-love and community building. We also get into the nuanced realities of singlehood—from the exhaustion of dating to the gratitude of living a life on your own terms.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone who's ever felt misjudged and is ready to own their narrative.
