Any Color You Like PodcastGhosted, Roasted, and Emotionally Toasted Let's get real for this one. Mahima's solo episode sounds like a best friends monologue. A whirlwind romance with a guy right after a tough break up was not the Belgian welcome she had expected. Despite a smooth 'situationship' - one day, it was gone. Poof.
