The Real Story with Sanghmitra Hitaishi
The Real Story is a podcast about truth, courage, and everything that makes us human. Hosted by actor and storyteller Sanghmitra Hitaishi, each episode is a raw, honest conversation with artists, thinkers, creators, and rebels, exploring not just what they do, but who they are. These are not polished soundbites or press interviews. This is the space between public personas, where we talk about heartbreak, identity, purpose, resilience, and the deeply personal cost of doing meaningful work. From actors and filmmakers to casting directors and cultural thinkers, this is a podcast about finding voice in a world that often demands silence. New season coming soon. Until then, listen to Season 1 available on all platforms and on YouTube.
