Welcome to Season 2 of Hey Karish! Our first guest is Dubai based Interior Designer Anshita Golani - whom I met through my radio show.
Anshita, like many other expats in the UAE, is here to make a life for her family. And like many other expats in the UAE, she’s seen situations in which she found herself struggling and alone. But it is in these very moments that one’s resilience breaks through.
This episode is a testament to the power of storytelling and the human spirit, leaving us with a renewed sense of hope.

In today's episode of "Hey Karish," I sit down for a heart to heart with this heartwarming couple - Anita and Don. Anita has been a relationship counselor for over 30 years and is the author of the book, 'Chopped, Sprinkled and Ready to Serve". Her husband Don is a decorated officer of the Indian Air Force (Group Captain - Retired), who has spent the better part of the last 20 yrs counseling couples together with Anita.
Their enduring bond and shared wisdom help shed some light on how relationships can be strengthened and how men and women can build deeper connections with each other.
This episode is a powerful reminder of the beauty and resilience found in lasting partnerships and a heart felt exploration of love, commitment and the enduring power of marriage.

Today on Hey Karish, meet my friend and “bidhu” Rohit Bharati!
Rohit, aka “Vivid Bharati”, is one of Dubai’s best known content creators.Rohit and his wife, Mahak, together run “@tiddingofficial” on Instagram along with a social media agency too.
He’s been a writer for radio for years in India and in the UAE. But since the evolution of social media to its current amount of tangible revenue generation, several content creators have come into their own, quitting their jobs and launching themselves into the space of financial independence through Instagram, TikTok, Facebook and YouTube.
Rohit talks to me about about Tidding's business style, his efforts to maintain work life balance, and his love for Bollywood and radio.

How honest can we make our conversations? This episode is the answer.
Stand up comic and actor Nitin Mirani shares his personal experiences with child-like honesty and a mature understanding of his life.
While making big moves in his career in Dubai and Mumbai, he also made some mistakes along the way. This is the story of a man who accepted responsibility for his shortfalls. But when that wasn’t the end of the punishment, Nitin decided to say something.
Warning: ⚠️ ⚠️ Sensitive content: Nitin also (quite trustingly, we add) opens up about the sexual abuse he faced as a teenager. Child abuse is a real danger. Here is the dedicated helpline number to report child abuse in the UAE: 80085 or 116111.
