Beyond Pink By Sangi Mall

There’s the Bandra that everyone knows - Shah Rukh Khan’s Mannat, Bandstand, Carter Road, Hill Road and the cafés everyone wants to be seen at. And then there’s the Bandra you discover only when you slow down and walk through it.In this episode of Beyond Pink, Sangi Mall explores that side of Bandra with Shormistha Mukherjee - from Chapel Road’s street art and old bungalows to Chimbai village, hidden lanes, local bakeries, pani puri debates and stories tucked inside one of Mumbai’s most iconic neighbourhoods. Along the way, they talk about why Bandra has always felt young, welcoming and wonderfully different - and whether rising real estate prices and endless redevelopment are slowly changing that charm.Then, the conversation takes an unexpected and deeply personal turn. Shormistha opens up about being diagnosed with breast cancer at 45, going through chemotherapy and discovering that earlier screening could have changed her journey. Her story becomes an important conversation about breast cancer awareness, mammograms, early detection and why women need to talk more openly about their health.It’s a conversation about a neighbourhood full of memories, a life interrupted by cancer, and why some stories are too important to leave untold.--Follow Our Instagram Page - https://www.instagram.com/_beyondpink/🎧 Listen to Our Podcasts on:YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJdJ_hR-Bg89IXQEIS5mz5gApple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/in/podcast/beyond-pink-by-sangi-mall/id1896647682Amazon Music - https://music.amazon.in/podcasts/bcda1c2d-094a-4b07-89da-2a0034556e7b/beyond-pink-by-sangi-mallBeyond Pink is a podcast about women who are living a new way of life in India.Hosted by Sangi Mall, a Mumbai-based novelist and publisher, Beyond Pink explores women entrepreneurs, work-life balance, navigating patriarchy, modern Indian womanhood, and breaking traditional barriers.
