On the show, the mommy-to-be is opening up a space for vulnerable, intimate and critical conversations on love and relationships in India.
In episode two she invites sex positivity influencer Leeza Mangaldas to speak about the importance of a positive image around the act of love and the much needed physical education that needs to come with it.
