A Chavadi one year anniversary special!
Gita Shetty, whose birthday marked the launch of Chavadi: The Meeting Place, reluctantly agreed to talk to co-hosts Siddhant and Lalitha. Not fond of talking about herself or her impact on people, this special guest who has lived through diverse decades since the 1940s, provides insight into her life as one of the younger of 10 siblings, gives a humorous, tongue-in-cheek take of marriage back in the day, and shares great life advice from her own journey through time and her experiences with adversity.
