A Conversation With Shreya Dhanwanthary

In this episode, Pooja meets Shreya Dhanwanthary, actor, author and someone who believes in seeking validation within, and holding onto your true self. Shreya, best-known for her roles in Scam 1992, The Family Man and Chup, opens up about how she navigates lean times and keeps the fire burning, despite it all. Shreya tells Pooja why travel keeps her rooted, and why failure still scares her. The two crack up about the time a director assumed Shreya’s wit came from ChatGPT, which she calls “the plastic surgery of vocabulary”. They both discuss embracing singledom in an age where the fear of loneliness is driving people into loveless relationships, with Pooja noting that slavery comes in attractive packages.
