🎙️ Decoding Drama ft. Malavika Varadan | Project Life with Simply Pankaj

What if drama wasn’t about becoming the next superstar— …but about becoming the most honest version of yourself?

In this powerful episode, I sit down with Malavika Varadan—radio host, TEDx speaker, and Managing Director of The Hive, Dubai’s most loved drama school—to explore how drama shapes not just performers, but confident, expressive leaders of tomorrow.

We talk about:

• Why kids need drama—not for fame, but for freedom
• How making mistakes builds emotional intelligence and future leaders
• Why opinions in childhood are rehearsal for adulthood
• Why financial independence isn’t a privilege for women—it’s a right
• What AI is doing to creativity—and how we can still lead with heart
• How Malavika is negotiating life, marriage, and meaning—on her terms
• The untold truth about building a purpose-first business

This isn’t just a conversation about theatre — It’s a call to raise a generation that’s more expressive than obedient. To remind women they don’t need permission to take charge. And to show that leadership begins when we start listening—to ourselves, and to each other.

🎧 Listen now and share it with someone who still believes drama is just a subject.

Because this one? It’s a life lesson.
