In today's episode we sit down with none other than Monika Deol. She is a true trailblazer in the media world and learning about her story is simply inspiring. From the very beginning she has ventured on the path less traveled and today we get to hear what that was really like...from expectations placed on her by her parents, to society's expectations and always feeling like an outsider. Join me as we hear Monika's story and how she became my favourite television personality of the 80's and 90's.
