SZN. 2, EP. 7 | Hit or Miss? Living Too Close to Your Relatives

from Masala Stories · host Arjun und Aru

Is living near your relatives a blessing… or a full-time surveillance program?In today’s episode, we unpack the upsides and downsides of having family close by versus living far away. From cousins who feel like built-in best friends and aunts who love you like their own child — to unsolicited advice, crossed boundaries, and people sticking their noses into things that are absolutely none of their business.Where’s the line between love and control?Between “they care” and “they’re overstepping”?And is distance sometimes the healthiest boundary you can set?We’re sharing personal experiences, cultural dynamics, and the real talk about growing up around family — the good, the messy, and the slightly dramatic.Take it with a grain of salt, but maybe also text your cousin after this one. 😉Your hosts,Arjun & Aru
