Confessions of a Desi Drama Queen

It’s spooky season, which means every brown girl’s #1 admirer is—wait for it—a jinn. Because if you didn’t grow up being warned that one’s going to fall in love with you non-consensually, what was your childhood even? 👀 We spiral from supernatural situationships to Sana’s post-Saiyaara emotional damage, reminiscing on the golden era when Bollywood made us kick our feet, sob dramatically, and practice our “no don’t go” lines in the mirror. Who needs a storyline when you have delusion and desire? 💔 (Spoiler: Amna hated it.) Then we get real messy (because Bollywood still is) and discuss why some “icons” need to be uncancelled, audited, and re-cancelled—for cultural balance. And somewhere in between all that, we spiral into the eternal mystery: why do boys hate their birthdays? Like—why are you acting like we scheduled your public execution? And more importantly, what are we even supposed to buy them? Socks? Trauma therapy? A clue? 🎁 In our Can I Be a Bitch? segment, Amna exposes the difference between movie-watchers and vibe killers, while Sana questions if the word “vintage” has officially lost all meaning.

This week we confess how maladaptive daydreaming basically turned us into unpaid directors of imaginary music videos, rom-coms, and Oscar-worthy scenarios in our heads and we’re just waiting or someone to produce this with us (obviously we have our award speeches ready) 🎬✨ Naturally, that spirals into music → trauma → laughing at our own trauma (our favorite hobby)-Which is perfect timing, because we read YOUR answers to our prompt of the week: “What’s the craziest way your parent punished you?” Desi parents are unhinged (& so were our bedroom doors) from homeland marriage threats to your standard thappar👋🏼Anyone else would call it abuse, we call it… character development🥲 And of course, our “Can I Be a Bitch?” segment: Bollywood isn’t making us cry anymore, and we’re DONE with the Westernized fluff and Netflix-style “8 episodes and that’s it??” vibes! Give us melodrama or give us nothing!! Basically: daydreams, beatings, and bollywood rants—aka therapy, but make it Desi☁️🩴☠️

Welcomeee BACK to another episode of Confessions! We are back in one of our happy places, the STUDIOOOOO! Come join us for some nonstop giggling and gargling as we talk about a mile a minute about everything this week. We are sharing your unhinged comments to the aunties and uncles that CAN'T SOTP WON'T STOP with the comments, welcoming all of us back to another fall season and all our fall favorites, Amna shares her INSANE story shopping for pads/tampons on her period in Pakistan, we share how we found out at our wee ages what a period even IS, and we drop some juicy takes for "Can I Be a Bitch???". In fact, Amna has 2 of em (we couldn't stop ourselves it was too good). Join us for another fun week of crashing and yapping. :)) LOVE YOU DRAMA QUEENS!

This week on Confessions of a Desi Drama Queen, we’re taking you on our full-blown shopping spree journey (sadly, we couldn't go with all of you drama queens). 🛍️ Nothing cures a bad mood like hitting the mall with your bestie—especially when neither of us knows how to say no. Unlimited time, unlimited vibes, unlimited damage to the credit card. Then, STOP WHAT YOU’RE DOING and watch The Girlfriend on Amazon Prime, because we’re diving into the drama of Desi in-laws vs. American in-laws (especially when it comes to PDA and attitude?!) and how satisfying it is when rich people rich right. 💅 Finally, we’re doubling down with a confession and advice segment: from unexpected fetishes (ya, for real) to advice for a listener that is struggling with their toxic family (sigh, aren't we ALL). HOPE YOU ENJOY DRAMA QUEENS!!!!, we’re serving truth, tea, and a little therapy. Tune in—you don’t want to miss this one. 💖👑

This week on Confessions of a Desi Drama Queen, we’re back with the hottest takes and messiest confessions. From the chaos of Cardi B vs. “literally who is she??” - the trial chronicles we needed to survive the rest of this year because this is better than reality tv people. Then we get into the most jaw dropping documentary you’ll ever watch: The Unknown Number on Netflix we’re unpacking pure drama & insanity. Our two favorite topics! We’re deep diving some juicy pop culture headlines like metro boomin’s hotness & Zoe Kravitz in all her PERFECTION!!! Then we get into our first corporate confession with a few confessions of our own — served Desi Drama Queen style.

Strap in Drama Queens, this week's episode is a rollercoaster ride of topics (and not the kid friendly kind - the twisty turny upside down stomach drop kind). This week we're here to remind you that NOTHING MATTERS AND THERE IS NO POINT (kidding, of course, kind of). In all seriousness (or lack there of) we are here to break down some of the most painful bollywood intimacy scenes, updates on Amna's house reno, updates on the family tea and floor&decor floor&decor floor&DECOR. We have a really relatable conversation about growing up as Muslim American girls who leaned on different ends of modesty (again, or lack there of) in how we dressed growing up vs now and how big of a topic this is for us desi girls! With a fun and juicy confession about how to get someone to TICK in an argument in the *pettiest* of ways, we end with our CIBABs for the week. XOXO, Sana & Amna :))

This week on Confessions of a Desi Drama Queen, Sana tells us all about her wild Hawaiin adventure where she turned into a full-blown thrill seeker, to unpacking the toxic 2000s “skinny” mindset we grew up with. Is there such thing as too much extravagance? How much jail time is acceptable for Apple Watches at weddings? We share another controversial wedding confession and already know the drama queens are going to jump all over this one!!

This week on Confessions of a Desi Drama Queen, things get real. Like… breakdown-real. Between emotional spirals, big life changes, and hitting what feels like our 13th reason, we open up in ways we never have before. You’re catching Amna mid-spiral. The chaos starts when we accidentally record on the anniversary of Amna’s mom’s passing, and we unpack the messy layers of grief, vulnerability, and what it’s like to be perceived so openly on a podcast. Like Shrek, she’s an onion—once you peel back the layers, there’s no going back. And lucky you, we’re all locked in together. As always, we cope by oversharing, making inappropriate jokes (sorry to our fathers, xoxo), and changing the subject 500 times. Expect chaotic pivots: Sana prepping for her Hawaiian rollercoaster ride, Amna in her HGTV era, is Sana secretly a Swiftie now?, the men we were feening over at 6, Hollywood’s newest “it” couple, and instead of a confession, some unsolicited Baji advice on narcissists (a masterclass, if you will). “Can I Be a Bitch?”: Sana calls out fake anti-gossipers who secretly live for the tea, while Amna is done with brides and grooms getting pranked on their wedding night—how dare you disrespect the art that is a desi shaadi bedroom setup? What. A. Journey.

This week on Confessions of a Desi Drama Queen — we’re doubling everything: double the “Can I Be a Bitch?” (Hayyyyy Tefi) and double the chaotic ADHD tangents, and YES… even a juicy listener confession. Sana turns 32 and lets us know it gets even better! We rant about the things we've learned leading into our early 30s, in laws and marriage roles, desi sibling rivalries, and really pull on the heart strings for a bit talking about Lyf3. You know we also haaaave hit all the fun juicy stuff like what we’ve been watching, share the books we’ve read (esp the ones that men could never understand), and really what IS the difference between WWE & Reality TV? Oh, and we finally define who ChatGPT is to us (Sana’s is a sassy woman and Amna’s is a millennial mom with live, laugh, love plastered on the wall). XOXO, happy leo szn queens

We’re kicking things off with a wild confession about a grandma who went completely off script with her granddaughter, and it only gets crazier from there. We’re giving you a tiny but necessary Love Island update (Keke vs. Call Her Daddy interviews – we have thoughts). Sana shares her run-in with the Turkish mafia (yes, really), while Amna deep-dives into her latest true-crime obsession, Amy Is Missing, and drops her current book recs. We also reflect on 7 years of marriage, bid a farewell to E! News, and – drumroll – welcome our first ever boy guest on the pod… Theo, Sana’s dog. It’s messy, it’s unfiltered, and you’re gonna love it.

This week’s episode comes with a soft launch of our new home studio (!!) — and a not-so-soft callout to our moms for completely skipping the fibroid chapter.After a short break (thanks to a fibroid that infiltrated Sana’s uterus that led to surgery), we’re back and recording from a surprise studio that we’re a little obsessed with... when it's not falling apart. We get real about women’s health and how no one warned us about things like fibroids, our unfiltered thoughts on the Love Island finale, the latest Call Her Daddy interviews, and how Sana gave Amna a full facelift using just her eyebrows (is it a glow-up or a mental breakdown? TBD). Expect chaos, confessions, and a little medical trauma recovery. We missed you!

This week, your favorite drama queens are back — panicking on planes, overeating in Punjabi fashion, having an identity crisis while ordering meat at the Desi market for the first time (why is it so intense?!) and somehow time-traveling to our teenage selves during a wild Dallas getaway. We laughed, boogied, had cousin chats in the back of a moving pick-up, we cried (mid-bite), and we definitely overpacked. But in the middle of all the fun, we also got hit with the bittersweet feelings and the unexpected waves of grief that hit when you’re having too much fun without someone you love.. Tune in for chaotic travel energy, deep thoughts between mouthfuls, and why southern living (or men) may be the move. ✈️🍛🧳💔

*In Love Island Narrator tone* GUYS. SPOIIIILER ALERT we are deep diving all the Love Island USA Season 7 CAST. This episode catches you up on our takes up to the start of #nicolandria. First, we talk about how Amna finally caught up to Love Island being the juicest psychological thriller she could've imagined and we've finally got our girl back on the Reality TV train! Expect hot takes GALORE on all our favorite couples (and re-couples) from the start of the show. We didn't forget a confessional though don't you worry! We have a hilarious juicy story submitted by one of you and you'll be laughing your ASS OFF ;) Then, ya girls got on a super SUS spirit flight to Dallas with the whole khandaan and we barely scratch the surface of our FIRST FAMILY TRIP. Get ready to unlock new family characters and hear about the downfall of your 30s when you have anxiety. More on our trip TO BE CONTINUED in next week's episode.

This week on Confessions of a Desi Drama Queen, we’re diving into a wild tale about a daughter-in-law so manipulative, it’s giving full-blown drama villain! We gasp and gossip our way through the madness, and dish on Desi aunties—their no-filter questions, shameless audacity, and the that we have to do better as the new aunties (but better, and with boundaries..Shocking). We also get into the painfully real struggle of being in your 30s—when your bank account is gasping, your body’s glitching, and you’re still out here trying to look hot like everything’s fine 😩💸🩺 It’s giving scandal, survival, and Desi drama at its finest.

This week on Confessions of a Desi Drama Queen, we spiral (shock) — from chaotic GOAT Eid plans and Labubu dolls we swear are ugly 🫣 to Sana’s sudden gardening obsession 🌱, PMS-fueled meltdowns 🍫, and Amna’s husband and brother running a haunted house experience in their own home 👻. Amna had a full-blown travel debacle with American Airlines — not 15 missed calls... but 15 missed FLIGHTS — and got sent home with empty pockets and a prayer to not end up on the no-fly list ✈️😭 (even though NONE OF THIS WAS HER FAULT, OK?). We also dive into a very juicy confession all about in-laws — the quiet expectations, the money convos, and all the behind-the-scenes emotional gymnastics no one talks about (served with love, no shade… mostly). Throw in a little Mary-Kate and Ashley nostalgia 👯‍♀️, a horror movie regret (Bring Her Back, more like bring back our peace), and some classic Desi chaos — and you’ve got another cozy, chaotic, and cathartic episode with your favorite drama queens 💅🏽🎧.

Last week we trauma dumped and babes, we’re just getting started💋 This week on Confessions of a Desi Drama Queen, we’re finally diving into the one question y’all never stop asking and the topic that haunts every Desi girl’s group chat: DATING! Honestly? We’re just scratching the surface, because there are layerrrrrssss! From our chaotic personality changes between our 20s to 30s, our zodiac bedrooms, to the hilarious (and unhinged) ways we tried to “hide” boys and gaslight our parents into thinking we were sweet, innocent angels 👼🏽—we’re naming names (okay, codenames). Our kids don't stand a chance! We’re also chatting about when we actually started dating and dropping some ✨big sis advice✨ along the way!

WELCOME BACK TO A POP CULTURE FILLED JUUUUUICY EPISODE!!! We talk about the Diddy trial - not Cassie 8 months pregnant testifying the horrors of her life with Diddy for a decade. We also deep dive the ACE family drama - Austin being the messy delulu cheater he is and Catherine's new book spills all the TEA. THE MEN ARE MESSSSYYYYY THIS WEEK! And we end with actually the best part of the conversation, talking about our ups and downs of Mother's Day and how it impacted us this year from the feels with our own moms and also the pressure from people around us to BE moms. You won't want to miss this one!

This week on Confessions of a Desi Drama Queen, we’re officially thawing for the summerrrr and things are already heating up. We kick things off with this week’s confession and—shocker—yet another man has discovered audacity. Naturally, we had to talk about Shah Rukh Khan gracing the Met Gala (finally!) and start a full-blown petition to get Wisdom Kaye on that carpet next. If he didn’t get an invite, honestly, we’ve lost all hope in fashion justice. Sana keeps her crown as our cinema connoisseur as we break down what’s worth watching this summer—ONLY in reclined chairs. And listen, if Michael B. Jordan wants to take us on a journey (even a terrifying one), we’re already buckled in. Oh, and period rage? Yeah… let’s just say it turns us into full-on filmi villains and we’ve got the dramatics to prove it.

THIS IS NOT A DRILL: THE ULTIMATE CROSSOVER IS HERE! Sana and Amna are joined by Chicago’s makeup moguls Rimsha and Sameen for a V chaotic, V glam, V juicy, and V necessary girlie episode 💅✨ Fresh off their sold out masterclass (we were SERVED, ok??), we got the tea, the trauma, and the techniques 😮‍💨 Sameen’s a baddie mom of 3 (?!), Rimsha is glowing + very pregnant (cue bump slay), and together they’re beating faces AND generational norms. We cover:
