In recent news was late actor Shefali Jariwala, who media claims was self medicating, that could have led to an early cardiac arrest. In a world obsessed with youth and the perfect body, how far are we willing to go to look young, stay ripped, and defy aging? In this conversation with DR. AGNI BOSE, we explore the growing trend of self-medication, steroid abuse, and unregulated hormone treatments, among gym-goers, actors as well as the common man, chasing the illusion of eternal youth. From injectable shortcuts to over-the-counter ‘miracle’ solutions, we uncover the hidden dangers behind this unrealistic quest. Why are so many turning to risky, unsupervised substances? What toll does this take on the body, mind, and long-term health?.GUEST: DR. AGNI BOSE is a Consultant Dermatologist and Cosmetologist, holding an MBBS and MD in Dermatology, Venereology & Leprosy.

Half of 2024 went into conceptualizing my podcast—deciding what it would be about, what to name it, the type of guests to invite, and most importantly, why people would tune in. After much thought and consideration, I realized I didn’t want my podcast to be just another run-of-the-mill, celebrity-driven interview show.

Instead, Candid Confessions with Chhavi was born from the idea of sharing knowledge and stories from individuals with immense expertise in their fields—regardless of their social media following or mainstream popularity. What matters is whether they bring something valuable to the table for my audience. Do they have a story so inspiring it deserves to be told? Can their experiences positively impact my community’s lives?

This podcast is about adding value and meaning, one candid confession at a time. Many stories are waiting to be shared, and many episodes are yet to air. So stay tuned, dear viewers and listeners, and don’t forget to follow Candid Confessions with Chhavi .
