“Let’s talk about sex” says mummy-to-be Evelyn Sharma

By Jyothi Venkatesh

Actress Evelyn Sharma recently launched her new podcast “Love Matters” on all major streaming platforms and it has already become one of the top rated podcasts in India. On the show, the mommy-to-be is opening up a space for vulnerable, intimate and critical conversations on love and relationships in India. In episode two she invites sex positivity influencer Leeza Mangaldas to speak about the importance of a positive image around the act of love and the much needed physical education that needs to come with it.

The podcast also features guests like singer Benny Dayal, fitness icon Yasmin Karachiwala, comedian Kaneez Surka, and LGBTQ+ activist Sushant Divgikar.”Acceptance, understanding, care for each other, are matters of the heart and we all desire them in our lives,” says Evelyn Sharma. “Sadly, there are many topics that are still taboo to talk about in India. With Love Matters I wanted to create a safe space to speak about them.”

Each episode features the dilemma of a real listener in matters of love. From conflicts with in-laws to same-sex relationships, Evelyn covers all topics that move the heart.

Evelyn Sharma is known for her appearances in Bollywood films like “Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani”, “Yaariyan” and “Saaho”. She also hosts DW’s Culture and Lifestyle magazine Euromaxx in German and in English.
