Bengali Girl

Bengali Girl

A podcast for Bengali people from a Bengali girl. Listen to me (and occasionally my friends) speak about the deshi nostalgia, bhoot jinn stories, mental health and so much more from the perspective of a Bangladeshi growing up stuck between the traditional and western culture.

Anxiety in Desi communities is often dismissed or silenced. In this episode, I unpack the pressures on men to suppress emotions and women to bear endless responsibilities, along with the cultural stigma that keeps us from seeking help. It’s time to break the cycle, set boundaries, and normalize mental health. Let’s talk. 💬✨

This episode, I’m diving into one of my big goals for 2025, reflecting on my unexpected shift in opinion on Taylor Swift (yes, you heard that right), and, of course, yapping about my childhood—because what’s a podcast without a little nostalgia? Buckle up for some storytelling, self-reflection, and possibly a few unhinged tangents. Let’s get into it!

Hi guys, 

I am back for reals this time. I chose to preserve my mental health and work on some internal issues but I think I am now in more control of things so I can say I am back! New Episode drops every week!

This episode is very very special as I am joined by friend, Grisha. Grisha and I met when we both were adults and were very close to having our frontal lobe being developed (we met when we both were 23 or 24). 
Tune in to listen to us talk about life, friendships and just adulting.

Take some snacks or turn to this episode when you are on a long drive. I dwell into all things that shaped me where I am right now and to be honest - I am proud of my changes. From a toxic mindset to having the capability to differentiate between necessary change and societal pressure.

We have our first guest collaborator - Ms. Maisha Samiha! She is one of the warmest and most genuine people I know and it just seemed right to call on a friend mentioned in my first episode - like a full circle moment. 
This is definitely just the beginning of Maisha appearing in the podcast.
