Family dinner table talk is dead. The new hangout for families is a shared WhatsApp message, it's a YouTube link, it's a forwarded TikTok. Join me in my new living room on The Zarna Garg Family Podcast, with my family members and other guests, as we explore modern life's most pressing issues like a modern family - through our own podcast.

Family Bonds and Fatherly Wisdom
Tune into this week’s Father's Day special, where my husband Shalabh and our kids dish out the messy truth about fatherhood. Laugh at Zoya's gym adventures with her dad, his desire to look all buff and big for you viewers, and Shalabh’s epic fails at balancing work and family chaos. We explore South Asian stereotypes as Shalabh encourages our daughter to speak her mind and defies the traditional Indian dad mold...something I’m still deciding whether or not I appreciate.
