“She has short hair? Must be a feminist.”
“He has a tattoo? Must be a rebel.”
“She rides a bike? Must be showing off.”
“Ripped jeans? Probably jobless.”
Sound familiar?
In this raw and eye-opening episode, Anuj and Manav unravel the deeply rooted stereotypes and biases that plague modern Indian society — how we often judge people purely based on their appearance, clothing, accent, hairstyle, or even vehicle choice. But more importantly, they explore why we do it… and how to stop.
This conversation goes beyond surface-level observations and dives into the psychological, cultural, and emotional impact of typecasting — especially on women, men, working professionals, students, and creators. The hosts bring personal stories, relatable humor, and poignant truths that hit hard.
