EP 69. REVEALING ALL INFLUENCER GOSSIP FT. ANKUSH BAHUGUNA

HELLO AND WELCOME BACK TO ANOTHER EPISODE OF MOMENT OF SILENCE!
This week, we’re winging it with Ankush Bahuguna! From feeling like a guest in Mumbai to navigating PTSD, he's still figuring it all out— including trying out hiring PR (so we don’t have to!)

Middle-class parent guilt? A shared struggle. There’s also the anxiety of being in the public eye, stalkers in the DMs and the struggles of taking family trips. No to forget Sakshi's repetitive jokes that Ankush had to put up with!
