Off Air with Kay Kay Machado

Have you ever wished you made a decision in life that made you go down a different path? That's exactly what this episode is all about! Through these times, we all wish we did more in the past or took a decision that led us towards a different journey. You might change your mind about feeling that way after this.

We break down three beautiful stories, get a little extra personal and even leave you with some thought-proving things that might change the way you look at life. And before you ask: This episode was recorded when Kasturi had Covid-19 and she's perfectly fine now.

Happy listening!

If there's one word I'd use to describe Ankur.. it would be "Hope". He's hopeful for the future of content, education, entrepreneurship and so much more in the world.

Let me be honest: THIS WAS NOT INTENDED TO BE AN EPISODE ON THIS PODCAST. However, I couldn't resist. This was one of the most honest conversations I've had yet. I was 'hopeful' when I jumped on his Instagram Live session. I was 'hopeful' when I asked him if I could interview him and he said yes on that session. 

I am also 'hopeful' about everything, just as we all are.. that everything will work out fine and that life finds a way. That's the exact sentiment that Ankur approaches life with and I hope you will take that with you after listening to this. We talk about EVERYTHING! Tech, Family, Love, Life and so much more! This was an improvised edition of the podcast and I hope you enjoy listening to it!

If there was one thing you could change about a generation of people, what would it be? Is the problem with us or with varied ideologies about the upbringing of kids? These are just some of the questions we touch upon in this episode of ‘Off Air with Kay’ as we speak to Indian Film Actress and eternal optimist, Shraddha Srinath. To the world, Shraddha is a lawyer turned actress who first made her debut in the Kannada hit film, 'U-Turn' directed by Pawan Kumar. Since then, she has starred in many Kannada, Telugu and Malayalam films. Shraddha Srinath is known for her work on 'Vikram Vedha' (2017), 'U Turn' (2016) and 'Operation Alamelamma' (2017). She has starred alongside veterans like Madhavan and more recently, Mohanlal, in Aarattu! To me, Shraddha is a friend with a timeless connection. I had the privilege of acting alongside her in musicals before she began her escapade in films. More than anything else though, she is a person who holds a special place in my heart with the conversations we have shared. I’m excited to bring that side of her to you. This episode will speak to you if you’re in a place in life where you’re wondering, ‘what is the legacy I’m leaving behind?’; She feels strongly about parenting, bringing up kids and the environment and it shines through beautifully here. So plug in, and enjoy this episode as we dive into great conversation.

Have you ever been in a horrible situation and tried to see the good in it? Struggled and then gave up? 'The Silver Lining' in a situation is a myth, right? Or is it? If you've been a person who has consistently focused on the dark clouds rather than "The Silver Lining", my guest on the podcast will really help you with that! To the world, Madhuri Braganza is a Malayalam & Kannada movie star; She is a special educator, has a huge love for music, the stage and cats! To me, Madhuri is someone whom I first met when we shared the stage as we performed in musicals together. More than that though, she is a person that I have a lot of love and admiration for purely because of everything she's been through and how she still manages to show up everyday and stay positive, regardless of what life throws at her. Another podcast where we speak completely from the heart. If it's everything I can't say on the radio.. It's Off Air with Kay. Happy listening!
