Jonita Gandhi is a playback singer, originally from Canada and now based in India. Having worked with and been recognized by the legendary AR Rahman, she has proved herself to the entire world of her enormous talents and the ability to sing in multiple languages. She is currently enjoying her Panjabi vibes with her latest track “Chal Koi Na” (Let it go) which is all about letting go of relationships in a positive way when they’re not working out.

Don’t stress man … be like Jonita and just say “chal, koi na!”

Peter Bance is a regular bloke who stumbled across some historical artifacts about Maharaja Duleep Singh when he was younger. He now has a Sikh history collection of his own which he lends to Museums and exhibitions. He gives talks and seminars on the young Prince. 

I wanted to get him on to understand why everyone says it’s “important to know your history”?

Is it? Or does it keep us locked in the past?

Nikhil Arora, MD at Go Daddy India, and Rakesh from the Bharat Army join me to talk about how to deal with failure and losses. Following team India’s disappointing results in the T20 World Cup, we take a philosophical look at why failure isn’t the end of the world. In sport and in life in general, we are all bound to fall short of our dreams and expectations. 

If you’re currently feeling like you’re hitting one stumbling block after another, then don’t worry. I truly believe that there are more lessons to learn from failure and that your winning streak is potentially around the corner! You just gotta stick at it!

Amaal Mallik is a music producer and speaker of the truth. I popped into his hotel room in Dubai where he’s currently nursing a fractured foot from falling on some steps by a stage! 

It’s clearly a dangerous business in more ways than one as he opened up about the problems with his industry but also the love that he has for making music. 

For all the Amaalians out there - here is my bedside chat with the indestructible Amaal Mallik!

THIS WAS A  LIFE-CHANGING PODCAST - Rahul Kapoor is a motivational speaker, mentor & author.

He uses a combination of psychology, science, and spirituality in his practices which makes his approach so layered in many ways. I’ve known Rahul for some time and he does those mega seminars with thousands of people as well as smaller groups with top bosses from big companies. 

So I wanted to chat with him and get real with some of the theories about dealing with life, what it’s all about and how to get through times of stress and pressure.

Turns out there are some simple things we can all do to help ourselves over the toughest obstacles!

Sohail Sahi is a sports journalist and broadcaster at the BBC. For those of you who used to listen to us on the Asian Network Breakfast show, he’ll need no introduction! We’ve had some great times together both on air and hanging out. He’s one of the funniest people I know but also a super mega passionate sports head!

I had to get him on simply because I love his company - there’s never a dull moment when Sohail is around so this podcast is just me catching up with my brilliant friend. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Powered by Go Daddy, in this podcast I wanted to talk about the business side of being an artist. This is a great one for anyone pursuing the dream but looking for ways to make sure they keep their eye on reality at the same time.

We talk Cricket, having the right people around you and the new project he’s involved with called Bhoomi.

Akriti Kakar is a singer who really does have a flawless voice. She’s been on my radio show and various podcasts in the past so I’ve got to know her and her husband (Chirag) really well. They are ridiculously lovely people! 

Over the years I’ve seen Akriti layer and build her career. It’s not easy becoming a playback singer or an independent artist in India - but not only is she doing it but she’s also still got the Kakar smile and happiness in her soul. This young lady’s success proves that you can be nice and still come first too!

Enjoy the chat with the mega-talented: Akriti Kakar

Here she is, the super talented Harshdeep Kaur! 

Playback Singer, lyricist, and performer, she can now add ‘super mum’ to her list of accomplishments. How did the arts suffer through the pandemic? And how has motherhood changed her outlook on life? 

Listen to her fascinating story on The Tommy Sandhu podcast.

Moeen Ali is an England and Chennai IPL Cricketer. Having just helped CSK win the league and only days away from taking on the West Indies in the T20 World Cup, he made time for me to talk about the pressures of the game, the schedule, and how nothing beats his mums cooking. 

This guy is so cool and takes it all in his stride! A real pleasure to chat with him!
