Love By Proxy
Radhika finally admits: that while the system was failing her, she wasn’t exactly doing it any favours either. And that didn’t put her at the top of the food chain, desirability-wise.

Mothers, Daughters, Dreamboats
When love schemes turn into family battlegrounds, Mom becomes the referee - taking hits from every side. We argue, blame, and still expect her to fix everything, even as she shields her daughter from a ghosting dreamboat. Love her or hate her, she’s the glue. And of course, we only notice when she’s not around. Meanwhile, what’s it like for the dads? And you’re left watching your ever-perfect sister somehow walk away with the best snacks. Boys and Girls is produced by Radhika Viswanathan and Samyuktha Varma. Our lead producer is Menaka Raman. Music and Sound by Joel Sakkari and Mixing and Mastering by Yashwanth Vinay.
