Mumbai: A compelling new episode from Miss Minds’ Celebrity Talk Show with Poorva brings forward a powerful conversation inspired by the web series Chiraiya, currently streaming on Jio Hotstar.
While Chiraiya is not based on a single real-life story, it reflects harsh realities that exist in society but are rarely spoken about. At its core, the series tells the story of Pooja, played by Prasanna Joshi—a woman who marries the love of her life, only to have her trust shattered in the most painful way. The narrative brings attention to the deeply sensitive and often ignored issue of marital rape, a subject that has long remained unspoken.

In this episode, host Poorva is in conversation with director Shashant Shah and actor Siddharth Shaw, who plays Arun. The discussion explores the mindset behind such characters, the intent of the narrative, and why stories like Chiraiya are important for society today.
More than just an interview, the episode sheds light on the uncomfortable truths that are often ignored, encouraging a much-needed dialogue around issues that continue to exist behind closed doors.
