In this eye-opening 11th episode titled "Rumors and Gossip," hosts Anuj and Manav dive into the intricate web of rumors and the devastating impact they can have on individuals and society at large.

We unravel how rumors, often devoid of facts and built on mere grains of truth, can spiral out of control, causing irreparable harm to those caught in their crossfire. From schoolyards to workplaces, the damage inflicted by gossip is universal, but when it’s aimed at vulnerable individuals, the consequences can be tragic, even pushing some to the brink of suicide. 

Explore the psychology behind why people spread rumors—be it out of jealousy, the desire for attention, or the need to feel superior. We'll also discuss the unsettling trend of celebrities fabricating outrageous rumors, like faking their own deaths, just to stay in the spotlight. What happens when the lines between truth and fiction blur, and society loses its grip on reality?

This episode sheds light on the far-reaching effects of unchecked gossip, revealing how lives can be shattered by lies, yet also how the exposure of harmful behaviors can sometimes bring about justice and healing. From the everyday to the extreme, we dissect the motives, the myths, and the madness of the rumor mill.
