Chit Chaat
Five 30-something Indian women who grew up in Miami together openly discuss the underlying cultural themes that arise in the first all-Indian American TV reality show, Family Karma, on Bravo TV. Inspired by their childhood relationships with the Family Karma cast, these not-yet-an-auntie ladies ask provocative questions about the Indian culture and share personal stories, all while carefully walking the line between silly and sophisticated.

Episode 12
Many South Asians rush to treat physical pains but brush off emotional ones. In this episode, the ladies invite Kulpreet Singh, the founder of the South Asian Mental Health Alliance (SAMHA), who explains why we're not immune to things like clinical depression. Diagnosed with ADHD, Singh learned that he faced limitations others around him didn't. And yet, people didn't take his condition seriously. He explains what mental health issues South Asians are more prone to and how Indians often dismiss problems of the mind while our religions focus on them. He then delves into how to help a loved one with these problems and how to raise kids who handle difficulties in a healthy way.
