TV & Film
WELCOME BACK to another episode of Parde Ke Peeche! This month we have a special episode for our listeners! We reached out to the Calgary-based South Asian Youth Mental Health (SAYMH), to discuss the depiction of alcoholism, or alcohol use disorder, in Bollywood. Films mentioned include Devdas, Dev-D, Aashiqui 2, and Kabir Singh. Thank you so much to Anmol Hajraw & Raveen Virk for joining our discussion, and providing our listeners with invaluable information on the subject.
