Episode 1: How "Nice Indian Boys" Roshan Sethi & Karan Soni Found Love, Visibility & SafeTea
Note sull'episodio
Can you hold onto your culture, your family, and your queerness—all at once?
In our first interview of The SafeTea podcast, Akbar sits down with IRL couple Dr. Roshan Sethi (writer/director of "A Nice Indian Boy") and actor Karan Soni (Deadpool, Ghostbusters) to talk about the layered journey behind their new film A Nice Indian Boy—and the one they’ve been living off-screen. From redefining what makes someone “out,” to grappling with family fears, to finding empowerment in brown love, this is a conversation rooted in truth and tenderness.
We get into:
- Growing up without queer South Asian love stories
- Family, fear, and why grace goes both ways
- Media’s impact on attraction, and challenging the “white fantasy”
- Building trust, healing, and the SafeTea way forward
