    EQUAL PARENTING DEBATE: SHOULD FATHERS DO MORE? | Gouri Tonnk | Romit Raaj | Candid Confessions: The Raw Round Table

    Everyone says parenting should be equal. But when life actually happens, it doesn’t always feel that way. In this episode of Candid Confessions: The Raw Round Table, we talk about the little things no one really says out loud, how mothers carry more than just responsibilities, how fathers are often defined by what they provide, and how both end up dealing with their own kind of pressure. There’s love, there’s effort… but there’s also imbalance, guilt, and unspoken expectations. This isn’t about blaming one side, It’s about understanding what equal parenting really means and why it’s harder than it looks. If this is something you’ve seen in your own home or around you, you’ll relate to this conversation. Tune in, share and Follow.

    IS 'FOREVER' STILL POSSIBLE IN TODAY'S RELATIONSHIPS? | Dr. Sheetal Nair, Karan Wahi, Sanyukta Paul | Candid Confessions: The Raw Round Table

    Most of us grow up believing that love, marriage and forever are supposed to happen naturally.But what happens when people change, expectations change, and relationships start feeling more difficult than comforting? In this episode, we talk about why so many people today are staying single for longer, struggling with commitment, questioning marriage and finding it harder to build long-term relationships. We discuss everything from communication, compromise, finances, insecurity and attraction to emotional needs, physical affection, cheating, unrealistic expectations and the pressure of finding the “perfect” partner. The real question is not whether love still exists. The real question is whether we still know how to make relationships work. Tune in, share and follow. HOST: CHHAVI MITTALGUESTS: DR.
