Owais Khan on Bullying, Reality TV & Overcoming His Stammer | The Dad Project Podcast | Episode 9

Owais grew up battling a stammer and years of bullying. The daily pressure at school, the fear of speaking and the constant judgement from others shaped his confidence and the way he saw himself. He carried those wounds into adulthood, hiding behind image, performance and the need to be accepted. In this episode he talks openly about the loneliness he felt as a child, the anxiety that followed him into every room and the emotional weight of trying to fit in while feeling different. Owais shares how reality TV and modelling gave him visibility but also exposed insecurities he never dealt with. He reflects on identity, self worth, healing childhood experiences and the inner work he had to do to rebuild himself. His story highlights the long term impact of bullying and the courage it takes for men to speak honestly about their past. This is a powerful conversation about confidence, shame, growth and finding your voice after years of silence. Why this episode matters Many men carry childhood wounds into adulthood without realising how deeply they still affect them. Owais shows what healing looks like when you stop hiding and start speaking your truth. 🎧 This episode of The Dad Project Podcast features a powerful conversation between host Naroop Jhooti and his father, Bindy Jhooti, exploring resilience, family, and overcoming life's toughest challenges. 🔔 Don't forget to like, subscribe, and share this episode to support The Dad Project and inspire others.
