Description

Never Have I Ever & Fargo star Richa Moorjani is talking with me, Sangeeta Pillai, host of Masala Podcast!
I'm thrilled to share my conversation with the exceptionally talented Richa Moorjani. We talk about challenging beauty standards, about the importance of representation, about our dual identities as South Asian women living in the West – and so much more.
American actress Richa Moorjani hails from a South Asian family deeply rooted in music, her life filled with melodies and rhythms since her childhood. Her mother is a singer who lived in Mysore before migrating to the United States at the age of seven. A self-taught musical maestro, her father merged his love for music and community, creating bonds with fellow Indian immigrants. 
Together, they formed a band that celebrated their roots through the sounds of Hindi cover songs.
Richa’s upbringing in America sowed the seeds of a cultural blend that would later influence Richa's own artistic endeavours. 
But this episode isn’t all about music, TV and the arts. 
We’re going to get very serious, and make some impact on the cultural divides between Hollywood, and Bollywood.
