Masala Musings Ep. 3 Akka Advice & Amakalam: You're Not Behind!

In this conversation, Curry Badshah discuss their personal experiences with relationships, dating, and societal expectations surrounding marriage with her akkas (Tamil - Big Sisters).

Host Note:

"My akkas—my big sisters—found love in their 40s, after years of dealing with the same confusion, dating drama, and existential dread I now face. But they made it through, and watching them marry their ideal partners taught me that love on your own timeline is still love at its best. If I sound wise, it's only because I’ve been schooled by their lived experience. They’re my role models, my sounding board, and now—through this podcast—yours too. Come for the stories, stay for the sisterhood."

They share their individual journeys, the challenges they faced, and the support systems that helped them navigate their paths. The discussion highlights the importance of self-discovery, the impact of age differences, and the significance of finding the right partner. They also offer advice for those feeling lonely or pressured by societal norms, emphasizing that there is no 'right' timeline for love and that personal happiness should come first.
