What does a poetic sleeper hit from Yash Raj Films have to do with your modern dating life? In this heartfelt episode, Radha dives deep into the timeless yearning captured in Saiyaara and explores what it reveals about how South Asian singles today crave connection—without losing their sense of culture, family, or self. From epic Bollywood moments to real-life rishtas, tune in for a rich reflection on the kind of love that endures beyond heartbreak, history, and hype.

The second episode of Love Marriage, the signature podcast from Single to Shaadi, explores the intersection of compassion, activism, and partnership — showing how love can not only sustain a household, but also transform communities.

Your host Radha Patel sits down with the power couple redefining what it means to lead with both heart and impact:

Meet Jose & Gauthami:

Jose Queijo is a strategic leader and Director at a top management consulting firm, bringing clarity and purpose to complex business landscapes.

Gauthami Vemula-Queijo is a social entrepreneur, activist, philanthropist, CEO and founder of Color Me SAFE — a Dallas-based family crisis consulting firm that advocates for immigrant families navigating the child welfare system.

Armed with dual master’s degrees in clinical psychology and counseling, and a decade of frontline experience as a CPS investigator and department trainer, Gauthami now uses her voice to challenge injustice and uplift underrepresented communities.

In this episode of S.A.L.E. – The South Asian Love Experiment, Radha unpacks why going on vacation with a new partner can reveal everything from compatibility to red flags — all inspired by Cardi B’s whirlwind (and now wiped) romantic getaway with NFL star Stefon Diggs. From Desi dating dynamics to the growing trend of “soft launches,” we explore what travel tells us about the future of a relationship — and how South Asian singles can use these trips to gain clarity, build intimacy, or walk away wiser.

• Whether workplace romances can ever truly stay private

• How cheating shows up differently across South Asian dating dynamics
