Ashish Patil on Lavani, Bhansali & Men’s Sexual Harassment | Sampoorna Swaraj | Podcast

Описание: We had an incredible time speaking with the Lavani King, Ashish Patil. What started as a fun conversation around Lavani and his journey soon turned into something much deeper. From sharing behind-the-scenes experiences of working with Sanjay Leela Bhansali, to breaking stereotypes around Lavani, and even raising strong points about men’s sexual harassment—this episode has layers you won’t expect.

It’s entertaining, thought-provoking, and at times, truly eye-opening. Watch till the end—you’ll walk away with a whole new perspective!
