This week, Joel and Tushar are joined by stand-up comedian, and AIB co-founder Rohan Joshi. The three of them discuss toxicity in Indian pop culture and the reasons behind it.

From showcasing regressive values to negatively stereotyping progressive ideals, many aspects of Indian pop culture appear to be deeply problematic. What is the reason behind this? Do those who control the purse strings force creators to take these calls? Is our mainstream content just a reflection of the society we live in? Or are we too afraid to venture beyond set norms? Click through as we explore these questions and discuss a lot more.
