chumma conversations with satshyaa – Details, episodes & analysis

Shibani Bedi has done what few content creators have successfully been able to do - successfully make the switch from content creation to the big-screen. From her role in the film “Thank you for Coming” and other web series, to creating memorable online characters like “Gurgaon Wali Bhua” and “Preenka ki Mummy” - Shibani has honed her skills in writing and acting and is hungry for more. In this episode we talk about her time as a journalist with NDTV, her college years, the story behind the Preenka ki Parents series, whether being a content creator has hindered or benefitted her acting career and she shares advice for those trying to make it into Bollywood, in her trademark straight forward and hilarious style. 

This episode was filmed in December 2023.

Ivana Perkovic is often known as "the Dutch girl who moved to India". But there has to be more to that one line, right? Turns out Ivana has very interesting stories from combating bullies & navigating tough kids in the Netherlands, to quitting her job to travel the world and how a chance encounter with a Hindi movie at her Indian friend's house changed the course of her life.

I first came across Siddhaarth Aalambayan after his in-car interview series, The Bombay Journey, showed up in my explore feed. And his relaxed ease around celebrities stems from his experience of being a child actor, playing Nandita Das’ son in the 2000 film, Hari Bhari. Since then he’s gone to work as a director, producer and host (we also have a work connection going back a few years!). In this episode we talk about the process behind creating and filming The Bombay Journey, branded content and how to pitch your dream TV show.
