Cost of Choosing Yourself | People Talk. But Do They Understand? | TIO E11 | Tulu Podcast

They said he changed.
They questioned his silence.
They didn’t see the cost of choosing growth over comfort.


In this episode of TIO Originals Mangalore, Yashwin Devadiga joins Vikhil V Salian for a powerful, grounded conversation that brings together identity, expression, tradition, and resilience.


From being a performer in Pili Nalike (Tiger Dance) to reviving rituals of Mangalore through creative storytelling, Yashwin speaks about the art that shaped him - and the culture that raised him.
He shares what it means to represent a region through theatre, movement, and voice... and what it costs to do it with truth.


He opens up about the unseen strength behind his work, the supporters who stood beside him, and the unspoken challenges of being an artist who refuses to follow trends.


This is more than a podcast.
It’s a cultural memory. A mirror to misunderstood creators.
A conversation for every listener who’s ever been doubted - just for choosing their own path.


Watch. Feel. Share. Let it reach those who’ve ever been quietly judged for standing tall.
