EP06: "Don't Put Yourself Into A Box" ft Bodhisatwa Dasgupta

from Whips and Chains

TW: Suicide“I meticulously planned my suicide.”It is said that when a child grows up, he either embraces his parent's habits or vehemently rejects them, choosing not to incorporate them into his own life. Bodhisatwa Dasgupta, the founding intern, as he calls himself, endured a dysfunctional childhood but emerged as a storyteller with a remarkable gift for writing as he believes that the greatest stories come from the strongest of places.Voted as India’s hot young creatives and listed in the 30 Under 30 list of Creative People, judged by Impact, life was not always a bed of roses for him. In 2018, his career took a sudden nosedive when he faced false #MeToo allegations, leading to near-universal rejection from other companies. Undeterred by the setbacks, Bodhisatwa's passion for his craft and his unconventional approach to life fueled his unwavering belief in the ever-present silver lining.Navigating the complexities of life, Bodhisatwa not only faced the challenges of a turbulent first marriage but also shouldered the responsibilities of raising a daughter in a liberal environment that fostered individuality. Through these experiences, he developed a unique perspective on societal norms, challenging conventional beliefs surrounding gender roles, sexuality, relationships, and passion.Follow Whips & ChainsInstagram: https://instagram.com/whipsandchains2023?igshid=NzZhOTFlYzFmZQ==Connect with Nivedita MishraLinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/nivedita-mishra-46547a61/Produced By: The BOSS HubFollow The BOSS HubInstagram: https://instagram.com/thebosshubxyz?igshid=NzZhOTFlYzFmZQ==LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/thebosshubxyz/About Whips & ChainsWhips & Chains revolves around the issues that bind and flog us and the conversations that discuss the various ways through which we can break free.
