She Was Ashamed of Being Indian. Until She Wasn't. | Bhavna Bhatia Roszel | The Raz Patel Show | S1 EP8

She grew up feeling like she was too Indian for the West and too Western for India. For years Bhavna Bhatia Roszel lived in that gap — navigating the pressure of cultural expectations, generational tradition and the quiet shame of never feeling like enough in either world. Then she wrote a book about it. The "I" in Indian is now a book club favorite — because it turns out millions of women know exactly what that gap feels like. In this episode Bhavna sits down with Raz Patel to talk about what it really means to grow up between two cultures and belong fully to neither. How she found her voice when everything around her told her to stay quiet. Why perfection is not a requirement for worthiness. And what self-acceptance actually looks like when you have spent a lifetime performing an identity that was never fully yours. If you have ever struggled between who you are told to be and who you actually are — this conversation will speak directly to your heart. 📘 Get your copy of The "I" in Indian: iinindian.com/product/the-i-in-indian/ Use code RAZ at checkout for an exclusive discount. ───────────────────────────── 🎙 THE RAZ PATEL SHOW Real, unfiltered conversations about resilience, leadership and living unapologetically.
