Can we just talk about Shivani i love how she didn't interrupt malvika when she's speaking like most of the interviewers nowadays won't let the person speak!! Shivani handled it so professionally 🤍🤍

The fact that she still talks about the good memories with her dad so fondly shows how balanced she is as a person. It is so easy to talk trash about someone who has wronged you, but she continues to see the good times as they were instead of painting them in bad light. So inspiring, Malvika!

Subscribed because of malvika. I mean this girl's wisdom and courage is unreal. She's definitely breaking the old patterns and there's so much to learn from her.

Sadness is addiction… can’t tell u how much it means coming from you. I have been feeling and realising this but always thought how can it be a sense of addiction. Such a powerful interview… thank you !!!!

20 minutes into the video and I had t pause to comment. Being a content creator it takes so much guts to share the not so glamorous part of your life and look at her. Heavily pregnant, in the middle of moving houses, dealing with her own separation and her mom's but here she is looking like a million bucks and letting her thoughts flow so freely. The inner work she's done already is so inspiring. Her life seems like a movie from where I stand- somewhat like pursuit of happyness. I can't wait to see her happy ending where she and her baby have made it! Thank you so much for bringing us this. :)

I dont understand the concept of renting a 4bhk, having lavish vacations in first class air tickets, buying luxury cars but never investing in buying a house because "Mumbai is expensive" - the first thing anyone should do if they are living in Mumbai and want to continue living here is to invest in your own home - people don't invest in assets but liabilities this is what happens...I know people would say oh but she can move apartments and live in a dream house of her own.. its not convenient to keep moving places every 2-3 years unless you have a transferable job or something..the lesson one needs to learn here is also that they never invested in assets which is why the riches to rags story - I think this is also what she meant when she said her father had bad habits due to which they suddenly shot up to wealth. Crony means of survival don't always work if you do not have reliable assets and liquidity of the same to fall back upon. Seeing that she has a baby on the way it will be better for her to finally buy an apartment.. doesn't matter if it's a 1bhk or mansion - during tough times your assets help you and how..you can't even mortgage your house against a loan cos you don't own a house..I hope Malvika if you're reading this you don't do the same mistake that your dad did and actually invest smartly in the future.

My dad also left us in my 20s. I am feeling so inspired hearing Malvika's story. So nice to hear about such strong women.. keep it going ladies!

Loved how the host was so supportive and non intrusive at the same time love the vulnerability of both the beautiful women. More power and love to us women and everyone reading this comment.❤

This is exactly the kind of host we need. No interruptions and bringing out the best in the interviewee. 🧡

This podcast made me just feel how strong a girl can be.... Malz you are brave and your thoughts are so good and needed for this broken generation. Lots of ❤

I am so happy that you interviewed Malvika. She's such an amazing human being. I love her so much❤

The day I randomly found Malvika's separation video, only after watching the first few minutes my heart dropped. Even though i haven't been following her for a long time probably years, just knowing the fact that she is going through a pregnancy & separation, my heart was wrenching for her. I just couldn't watch that video. It took me another 2-3 days to make myself sit though that and oh boy, each couple of mins of that video was another surprise and more deeper wound. I am not married, neither do I have a baby but as a woman i know what she went through is our biggest nightmare. No one ever in their worst of dreams ever wants this to happen all at once. Mals was living the nightmare with a smile on her face. I cried for her. This woman is the epitome of courage and strength. I don't know how she's even able to speak about it without breaking down, I could never. As someone who struggled mentally and was in depression, what she said is 100% fact. Only you can pull yourself out of the mess, it takes a lot of self love to understand that you're the only one who can fight for yourself and pull u through. It takes a lot of courage to realise only you can bring the change in your life and no one else is responsible for how you're feeling. Hats off to her will power, i am so so proud of her.

You don't believe me i watched this while taking shower . Because it's malvika's podcast i can't take a break in the middle of this podcast.

So many things don't make sense here. Poverty is not a subjective matter, affordability is. Malvika couldn't afford her luxurious lifestyle after her dad lost all their money but she was in no way poor, based on her description. If she really was poor, she can't have done KZfaq because it takes a while for the channel to be monetized and for her content to start making money. She had the privilege and the option of choosing this career path despite it not generating money, at least for the first few months, if anything she was middle class but never poor. If she had been as penniless as she made it seem, she would've taken up any job, a sales girl or beauty assistant at makeup counters, or ANY regularly paying job because that's what actual poverty does to you. Desperation pushes people to take up real jobs, not make videos on youtube. I'm not hating on her but this is no UNFILTERED TRUTH. I've followed her on youtube for years now almost since the beginning of her career here but all this is just plain exaggeration. Six months without water and electricity... does that make any sense at all? Idk if the host was being polite by not countering her or just unbelievably naive. Also Malvika, you said money could've made you a very different person and a spoilt brat.. with all due respect, you're no different now. You reek of entitlement and privilege and sometimes the way you treat your audience speaks volumes about your ingratitude.

Akhil really lost the most precious diamond. No matter what the situation was, he should’ve been here with the most beautiful soul, she needed him the most. Nevertheless, Mals you got this and I wish nothing but the best for you and your baby. God had better plans for you. We love you. Prayers for you all the way!! ❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻

Cool video, My relationship of 5 years ended a month ago. The love of my life decided to leave me, I really love her so much I can’t stop thinking about her, I’ve tried my very best to get her back in my life, but to no avail, I’m frustrated, I don’t see my life with anyone else. I’ve done my best to get rid of the thoughts of her, but I can’t, I don’t know why I’m saying this here, I really miss her and just can’t stop thinking about her

No current and water for 6 months straight how did she charge her phone, use her ring light and edit and post. Does not add up.

The host Shivani is so well mannered and did not interrupt her guest Malvika even once… she was listening very patiently and the conversation was so smooth… A lot ot journalists need to learn this from you Shivani !

Love how Malvika talks about healing, it's all about learning, unlearning and learning again, it's a constant process. I'm in awe of how she is so positive after all that she has been through. Loved this podcast so much. Lots of Love to Malvika! ❤️

I can recall one of Mal’s video where I think they got their marriage registered and one of her closed friend said to her that “Put yourself first” and today we see Mals actually following that advice and doing the best for herself ❤ so happy for you have chose to be brave and courageous ❤

God knows I needed to listen to all of this so bad. Thanks you Shivani and Mals! Two amazing, confident women showing us what being a woman should be like. For reminding us to believe in ourselves and figure ourselves out.

She is so freakin strong! More power to her!! Also the fact that Shivani didn’t even try to mint her divorce for views which I’m sure any other interviewer would have done was so respectful god that’s so fresh!

Listening to this podcast, I'm crying for Mals and so proud of her as well. I've been following her since 2017. And I can definitely see growth in her and it feels like I'm growing with her and she is my big sister. She is a true gem.

Ohh my good how much I loved this malvika was really being so genuine and truthful she is literally a queen love her so much and kudos to you shivani for bringing her and giving us this wonderful piece

When she told she comes first … I felt so connected … ❤️ … mom’s often forget to take care of themselves once the baby is born

This Podcast was soo wholesome and Malvika is insanely authentic. She is soo soo powerful and Amazing that I have to sit and write this comment for her. The amount of self work she has done and the way she is standing strong after each and every obstacle of her life is truely commendable. If Authenticity has a Name it is Malvika. She empowers me a lot to be a stronger girl. I just want to say Thank you soo sooo much to Malvika for so much wisdom and empowerment. Rooting for all the amazing Females out there! Thank you shivani for this wholesome Interview.

Authenticity, acknowledgement of feelings, seeking help, motivation, inspiration, self love, healing, self work, shadow work, courage, breaking cycles, unlearning and showing up. So many takeaways from this so very raw podcast. Much love to both Malvika and Shivani. Thank you for being here and doing what you do.

During my pregnancy i felt same throughout-Alone, traumatic and depressed. I can totally relate and kudos to her the way she is dealing with it. 👏👏👏

31.42 I say it very proudly as a flight attendant myself we never say mask on the child first , we always say in the Public Announcement be it in Hindi or English “doosro ki sayahta karne se pehle apna mask pehenle “ which means “wear ur mask first before assisting others” and that applies even for infants & children.

I don't know how many lives this video is gonna save. It saved mine. Thank you so much !

Hi Shivani! I follow Mals from a long time, but this video connected me to at a different level. I want to thank you for bringing this unfiltered version of a woman's journey. It's so difficult to say it out loud that I am not okay and then also buck up to do the self work and make a change. Take charge of our own lives. Takes courage, takes resilience and takes patience. Cheers to all those lovely ladies who choose themselves and be unapologetically kind first to themselves and then exude that to people around them. As @Malvika said - Fill your own cup first and then pour out for others.

This woman never stops inspiring. Someone like me who has dealt with mental health issues, it's quite a great motivation to hear her. I totally resonate with her. I feel she is wise, smart and emotionally intelligent person ❤

I have been following her for past 2years.. and oh my God... She as a woman..is so powerful so positive and clear with her thoughts.. i just love her ❤❤

Oh my god… so much learning from this video… just love Malvika … so progressive… you will get there malvika we all will get there ❤️ only and only love to you

Still confused about whether her father passed away or abandoned the family. The comments suggest that he passed away but Malvika mentioned going through the mother’s divorce and her own separation.. anyone who can give some clarity?

Without electricity how did you charge your phone, edit your videos and upload them on KZfaq?

Watching this the third time and I am sure I will watch this again. This is extremely therapeutic and inspiring. Malvika, thank you for sharing your journey and your learnings with the world. What a beautiful person you are? And Shivani, thank you for conducting such a good interview. ❤ oh gosh, so many pearls of wisdom to take away!

I loved how Shivani was not too intrusive about Malvika's divorce but she was very empathetic and more focusing on how she dealt with certain situations in life. Literally No controversial questions for click bait. Just authentic discussion over life, relationship, mental health♥️ I loved malvika always but now I also love your personality Shivani!🤗

No one is stronger than a mother. Malvika has gone through a lot and still she is. But becoming a mother made her stronger than before.. and look at her, she looks stunning❤❤

I don't know from where in the world this girl got this wisdom and courage!! I'm absolutely in love with you mals❤❤ you're everything we women needs to be in the coming generation! You literally spoke rock solid facts

I usually never comment However this video with you and Malvika is truly authentic and as real as life gets. Props to Shivani - your interview style and just your voice is so unique and lovely, you radiate an aura of calmness which is very rare to see. Saw you for the first time. Can't wait to see you more!

i am so in love with this interview and it feels so relatable in so many ways. i love when people have the confidence and awareness to actually talk about the bad things in life and how they managed to get out of it. i don't think they realise but there are so many of us who need this sort of content i mean what might become a ray of light, an inspiration for somebody who is struggling, you never know. i love how she expresses everything and even things that she feels are not right in herself and the acceptance and awareness to work on it and change it for nobody but herself. we need more such people, more such conversations. More Power to Her. Her baby is going to be so lucky to have such a self aware parent. Lots of Love ❤❤❤❤

Malvika inspires every women on earth ❤️❤️

Malz we love you! Rooting for you always🩷 Thanks Shivani for interviewing her and being such a great interviewer ❤

What a beautiful soul Malvika is!! She has an angel baby in her tummy who is so damn lucky to have a mother like this amazing woman!! Sending strength your way Malz ❤️❤️

I'm in the similar phase of my life and thank god, youtube recommended this video to me.. this is so therapeutic and inspirational, learned a lot and definitely will help me to come out of this phase. Thanks both ❤

I have not watched it yet, just started the video and only clicked because its Malvika Sitlani! I saw her KZfaq journey from start and will support her always! She is one of few Indian KZfaqrs i adore the most

wow, this is raw and authentic true to life’s actual struggles. people will resonate to these kind of true conversations way better than the glitz and glamours fake conversations in Bollywood and other entertainment media. You are epitome of strength Malvika 🙌🏻 so proud of you girl And Shivani, heads up to you , you given her your platform to speak out her heart and you being listening so calmly like a therapist 🫶🏻 Amazing content and beautiful soul both of you ❤

You are so strong Malvika!! Keep changing the world by educating & setting examples ❤

This woman is brilliant . How is she soo calm ! So proud of her ! I feel so much more confident to go live my life . More power to you

I had a very similar childhood where one day we had everything, and the next day had nothing. I was just 10, and had to stay without school for a year. I could relate to a lot of things Malvika mentioned, especially when she said how difficult it is to trust men and take something from anybody. Today I have everything I want and everything I earned, but some days this just hits me and makes me so damn low.

She is a therapist herself she don't know how she's motivating us how she's teaching us how she's healing us through her words ❤️

I am so glad she has a supportive encouraging mother and she had beautiful coregulation , it's so important for caregivers to give healthy emotional regulation by just validating emotion of kids.

Listening malzz is so therapeutic and grateful I grow up watching her she is so strong women ❤️🌼

Breaking this podcast in 3 words- 1. SELF - LOVE 2. CONFIDENCE 3. POSITIVITY had the best 1 hour of my life love u malz and shivani i just saw u first time and i am soo hooked to ur podcasts now definately gotta finish every video by today night 😂🫶🏻❤️

I am from Pakistan. I have never seen a podcast in my life but as I see there is Malvika's podcast I literally can't stop my hand to play this and it's worth watching my favourite indian blogger empowering teenager girls, women to be happy and prioritise yourselves and be happy mentally and emotionally 😊 Malvika is the best best best🎉❤

This is The Mals we love her .. Her loyalty and Pure heart talk ..lifting up herself and encourage us to do the same .... We can keep hearing her more then 2hours also.. Love listening her.. Loveyu mals you are the Strong women ..love❤

I love how I can relate to her mindset and the best advise to always put yourself first because you're child is always watching. And to put men on a pedestal hahaha yes couldn't agree more. I want to give Mals a tight hug tbh as I've seen her journey through years of how stable of a person she is ❤️

One of the most important thing I noticed is the host. What a beautiful and standard understanding she had for the guest. Gentle and valid questions that had clear points. Learnt a lot from this interview. Self love Heal It is ok to be sad , but heal out of this.

This podcast is so much inspirational 🥺❤️

She resonates so much with me. I can see a lot of myself in her. I have been through Therapy most of my growing up years and totally get what she speaks about Healing. And Kudos to her she knows what she wants

How come they didnt invest in any assets , savings or insurance when they were so freaking rich, even middle class 9-5 working ppl have a chunk of their money in savings for the rainier days.

Malvika should be on Ted Talk. So much she said that many should hear, specially the loving yourself and pregnancy things.

Amazing... I used to follow mals for such a long time and that's why I came here but fell in love with your podcast. It's amazing to see both strong women. Looking forward to see more.

Totally loved this podcast 🎉 it’s great how Shivani asked sensitive questions without being intrusive and harsh 👏 and its great to see Malvika has opened up so well and chilled out 😊 u go girls ❤

Shivani and malvika..this podcast is a master class on empowerment as an individual..!! You guys are amazing...when is the podcast 2.0 with malvika coming out?? 😍😍

Idk if she even read my comment on her separation post but that’s exactly what I said it’s better to have one Happy parent than two unhappy ones. I have just discovered this rebellious part of you and it’s so inspiring I need to learn how to keep my cup full , how to love myself , how to enjoy my own company (coz I hate being alone ).. I probably should start therapy !! U gonna do great Malz … very proud !

I have questions. Why does a story not match? she talks about being in college and doing runways and feeling that she isn’t making enough. But she also talks about being in a very rich and luxurious phase of her life till 21. Isn’t 21 when you graduate? So how are you having the best of phones? Latest iPhone, BMW’s, Mercedes and five cars under your building and still feeling you aren’t making enough? BTW, she also mentioned she had a lot of pocket money. So why was there a need to feel you want making enough? Second question, she talks about living in a 1BHK and not having water and electricity for six months but also about copying or getting inspired from the western make up community and teaching the same to Indian audiences. Hold-up! How are you affording the make up you were using to bake, contour conceal, and what ever the hell, the west, was is doing? While I can sympathise with her for her father, leaving without a word and then her husband while she is about to have their baby, I cannot understand what is the need to make up weird stories that do not match all the timeline she herself mentions. Also, as a person who has suddenly become poor in a drop of a minute, as mentioned by her, how does your conscience allows you to not look at serious methods or ways of income? Especially, when you say your younger brother had to drop out of school and the older one was is the only earning member and not to forget your mum a homemaker? How do you get the financial resources to buy is in light, still use an iPhone to film, be able to buy beauty products, and not be able to afford water, electricity, rent?! PS: no hate, just a curious mind, trying to understand the timeline and basic things as affordability for a a richest to rags household with a single earning member.?!

So Inspiring ❤️. She is so mature and wise for her age. You will be a best parent for your kid.

Girl!!!! It's so relatable 😢. Specifically when somebody does something for me I feel the same way..😢😢😢

An epitome of the beauty of a strong, independent, confident woman. Love you, Mals.

You should call Akhil Aryan too on this show so that we can hear his side of the story too. He has built ION Energy and he is the CEO.

Malvika, you’re such a strong woman ! I can relate to what you’re going through and I would only remind you about what you said - “when you’ve hit rock bottom, you have nowhere else to go except upwards ! “ More power and love to you. You’ll make a great mother ❤

I have learnt so much from this video, people always say me tat I'm selfish when I put myself first before everything and everyone, but bruhhh it's called self love. Self love is the cure for all the mental health problems. Heal from within then the world automatically heal with you. Thank you Shivani for this amazing Podcast with Mals ❤️ Hugs to you both ❤

Mal's is always an amazing therapist...like she just puts up all the things she's going through into words in a raw and real way,without hiding anything like literally anything...that sorts of helps all of us when we go through a situation like that...that is when we understand the situation and try to go through and deal with it...forever greatful and love you Mal's🤍Thank you so much Shivani for making this happen and we get to hear and take so much from this almost 1 hour solid podcast✨

Absolutely real podcast... After a longgg time loved an interview. Mala is lovely & authentic as always, Shivani you too are superb. Classy, candid, real & elegant talk. Kudos you girls!!!💙

this was so moving, Malvika - you're a true powerhouse!

cried listening about u malz .... never thought u went thru so much...love you always

I feel like when she spoke about "Dont say - I have anger issues; this is who I am" she was referring to Akhil. Even if she wasn't, that line is so powerful. Inability to regulate anger needs to be called our and not normalised.

Malvika is a such a positive person it takes a lot for a person to be so vocal so strong and soo good. She has her priorities sorted that's something I ve learn from her . Even the host is such a sweet one . She is so positive too .

Omg, Malvika's communication skills is too good! 👌

Malvika, one day your daughter/son is going to see this video, and you have completely made him/her feel that shes unwanted into this world for the choices you have made in your life, for no fault or her/him. But atleast your honest!

just wanted to say that Malvika youre a fighter and such a calm one, that youre wining in life with such grace. More power and support to you.

Omg, one of the best podcast interviews. Really inspirational and great story telling. Coming from an American this is eye opening on the similarities of content creator economy in India and the emphasis of authenticity

I'm left speechless after watching this. I've been following Malvika for a long time now, and I had no idea she went through so much. She's so brave and such an inspiration for so so many people out there. I've also been through my fair share of trauma in life, and I completely agree with Malvika when she says that confidence comes with being true to yourself. It's what has worked for me, someone who had zero confidence growing up. Thank you, Shivani, for featuring Malvika on your podcast. You're awesome!

Loved this. I was waiting for you to post it. This was raw and real. looove it. Shivani i love how you put up questions to your guests. i wish i had discovered your podcasts early. Listening to someone's life story is actually a healing experience because we realize we are not the only ones going through hell. iand we got this. this thing called life. we shall overcome. All the best to you. and I have been a follower of Malvika for a long time. I wish her the best even though its a tough journey but so is she, she is a strong woman.

The anchor is so good. She did not disturb Malvika.. She allowed her to speak her heart out

This interview is itself so therapeutic. I feel so calm at this point now. Like its ok to feel broken.. N not rushing for healing, but instead giving time. Solved many of confusion. Thanks to both of you.

I respect a lot to Malvika, to be honest she's my role model and hearing her story inspires me a lot. Her self love journey inspires me to go with my self love journey, I know she has went through a lot but I'm so happy that she is getting through it and she is the strongest person I know. Thank you for showing this, it really made my day😭💗

Vulnerable, powerful, inner strength, rising like a phoenix! This was so authentic ❤️❤️❤️

As a mum to a one year old, I second that when she says 'it will be me first and then the baby'. This is the result of healing yourself. Only when you put yourself first, take care of yourself first, only then will you be able to put the best version of yourself to take the BEST care of your baby, do the BEST for your family. Abandoning your needs thinking it's selfish, you are only putting your priorities with a 'managed and compromised' YOU.

I am so glad she has spoken about her struggles.. Her self work.. Talking abt therapy and things about valuing oneself... This is truly good for ppl watching.. It's positive!

She is an inspiration to a lot of people who are indeed in search of peace and self love. She is so pure in and out. ♥️

A podcast where you’ll be able pick up a lot of learnings and life lessons. Loved every second of it from the beginning til the very end. Props to these two smart, beautiful women 👏🏻

Actually they say quite the opposite in a plane. They always ask you to put on the oxygen mask first before attending to others 😅

When you were talking i felt i've been through this .. im a mother of two and in a long distance relationship with my husband . When he calls he first wanna see his children talk to them than it was me he sees after.. i feel soooo neglected, ignored, alone 😢😢

One of the best interviews I have watched ....spoken so sensibly and honestly

I don't know why I teared up when the host said at the end , I think you are going to be a great mother . What a wholesome episode. She is going to be an amazing mom

I don't think one should dismiss off women who choose to stay married for their kids. It is important for a child to have a stable foundation. And if a mom feels that her issues don't matter as much as providing steadiness to a child, it's fine. It is possible for a man to be a bad husband but be a very good father. Or the other way around.

Ur baby is really blessed to have has mumma 😀 come on even I was in pre natal depression while I was pregent, now am mumma of toddler 🙌 ur energetic and positive.
