Strap in Drama Queens, this week's episode is a rollercoaster ride of topics (and not the kid friendly kind - the twisty turny upside down stomach drop kind). This week we're here to remind you that NOTHING MATTERS AND THERE IS NO POINT (kidding, of course, kind of). In all seriousness (or lack there of) we are here to break down some of the most painful bollywood intimacy scenes, updates on Amna's house reno, updates on the family tea and floor&decor floor&decor floor&DEC...
*In Love Island Narrator tone* GUYS. SPOIIIILER ALERT we are deep diving all the Love Island USA Season 7 CAST. This episode catches you up on our takes up to the start of #nicolandria. First, we talk about how Amna finally caught up to Love Island being the juicest psychological thriller she could've imagined and we've finally got our girl back on the Reality TV train! Expect hot takes GALORE on all our favorite couples (and re-couples) from the start of the show. We didn't forget a confessi...
This week on Confessions of a Desi Drama Queen, we spiral (shock) — from chaotic GOAT Eid plans and Labubu dolls we swear are ugly 🫣 to Sana’s sudden gardening obsession 🌱, PMS-fueled meltdowns 🍫, and Amna’s husband and brother running a haunted house experience in their own home 👻. Amna had a full-blown travel debacle with American Airlines — not 15 missed calls... but 15 missed FLIGHTS — and got sent home with empty pockets and a prayer to not end up on the no-fly list ✈️😭 (even though NONE...
WELCOME BACK TO A POP CULTURE FILLED JUUUUUICY EPISODE!!! We talk about the Diddy trial - not Cassie 8 months pregnant testifying the horrors of her life with Diddy for a decade. We also deep dive the ACE family drama - Austin being the messy delulu cheater he is and Catherine's new book spills all the TEA. THE MEN ARE MESSSSYYYYY THIS WEEK! And we end with actually the best part of the conversation, talking about our ups and downs of Mother's Day and how it impacted us this year from the fee...
THIS IS NOT A DRILL: THE ULTIMATE CROSSOVER IS HERE! Sana and Amna are joined by Chicago’s makeup moguls Rimsha and Sameen for a V chaotic, V glam, V juicy, and V necessary girlie episode 💅✨ Fresh off their sold out masterclass (we were SERVED, ok??), we got the tea, the trauma, and the techniques 😮💨 Sameen’s a baddie mom of 3 (?!), Rimsha is glowing + very pregnant (cue bump slay), and together they’re beating faces AND generational norms. We cover: How they secretly started their MUA j...
If messy drama is a love language, consider this episode our poetry. We start with an insane confession about a Pakistani doctor paying his staff to SLEEP WITH HIM...until one of the girls got herpes and blew the whole operation wide open (yes, you read that right). We also talk about how women are basically born to be detectives, break down a wild cheating scandal involving a fake death plot (bc why not?), and get into Sana's theory about why hot girls stay choosing uglier men. Between a few...
In Episode 30, Amna and Sana get into why girls trips are basically therapy - healing for the soul, wellness retreat vibes, feminine energy and cuteness all around, and trauma dumping. A MENTAL BACK CRACK, IF YOU WILL. Meanwhile, what are the men doing on their trips without the gift of women?! Do they have the vibes up the entire time? Also, we talk about the trend trying to fathom why men would ever be...IDLE? Don't they have work to do?! Sana is officially a law-abiding citizen now - she's...
You ever go through a phase where you didn't wanna be brown? Lowkey same for us and the sweetie pie from our confessional! This week we talk about feeling weird about our culture, ethnic features that make us spiral (punjabi noses and hips zindabad), and the aunties (or worse, uncles) that made sure to ALWAYS remind us. Plus, our 'Can I be a bitch?' segment this week is giving life hacks for you and your gossipy opp.
We’re debriefing White Lotus Season 3 and... this show has us in a chokehold. The drama? The chaos? The AUDACITY? We get into all of it 🫠 We also read our first ever anonymous IG confession (iykyk it’s giving 2012 Facebook confession pages when you thought you were anonymous but everyone knew it was you 😭). Please keep them coming, the wilder the better. In our 'Can I Be a Bitch?' segment, we talk about the people writing long-ass paragraphs for their partners on IG. Like babe... we get it.....
EID MUBARAK!! Let’s debrief our Eids together, the last week of Ramadan masjid debacle , Sana’s kinda Chand Raat party (or was it an iftar? 🤔)-either way, it was a moment and a deep dive into the “scandal” we didn’t know was a scandal 👀 Here to clarify— we are NOT your local Islamic scholars, we are just two Desi girls with WiFi and vibes. Let’s laugh about it together. 🌙✨ #NotMuftisJustMessy
Get ready for chaos, because this episode is serving drama, news anchor realness, and peak Desi girl energy. Amna spills the tea on her insane connection to Millie Bobby Brown’s ex (spoiler: identity theft was involved??), while Sana and Amna channel their inner ARY news hosts to bring you the latest on Eid preps. We’re talking chand raat madness, the tragic rise of men at chai cafes, our ongoing beef with the masjid uncles, and the wild ride of decoding our Desi family trees.

Continuing the conversation with Samreen from last week, we're diving into her unique path to success with SamreensVanity. One thing we know for sure is Samreen is willing to roll up her sleeves and never takes 'NO' for answer. Her secret sauce to continued growth and success is in all her ability to keep persevering.
It's a solo dolo episode this week. The first solo episode of season 2 *YEAH BABY* (read in Austin Powers voice only, please). This week is a true catch up SZN. It's been a while since we've talked updates!! We catch up one on one about where I've been pre and post season 1 from leaving our home in Tennessee to navigating life in hometown CHAOS to all the BTS from interviews done for this season of the podcast. And FINALLY, a RAMADAN AND EID EPISODE!!!!! Being home for Ramadan after years and...
Continuing our conversation with Sahrish from last week, we're diving into what happens AFTER the divorce? Is navigating single life as a woman in her early 30s easy or harder than when you were in your early 20s? How do your expectations change when you're independent and settled in your career? There is SO much to talk about, especially as a desi woman trying to find a partner and Sahrish tells us about some of her experiences with dating apps (muslim vs non-muslim), solo traveling, society...
IT'S OFFICIALLY SPRING 2024 and we're kicking off this spring with a friend who is the QUEEN of turning lemons into lemonade. Sahrish is the girliepop of girliepops and we've been in each other's lives for over a decade as we've taken on new roles and hit huge milestones in our lives. Most recently, Sahrish had a pretty big life change in that she is officially separated from her husband of 5 years. She speaks candidly about not only how she's dealt with the good, bad, and ugly of her separat...
