    Pigment Doesn't Protect: The Truth About Brown Skin Care
    2025/07/07

  • Gayathri Krishnan Is Here — And She's Already Made It

    Gayathri Krishnan Is Here — And She's Already Made It
    2025/07/03
    Taught by her father at just four years old, Gayathri Krishnan began her musical life steeped in Carnatic tradition: its scales, its rigour, its reverence. Today, the LA-based singer carries that inheritance into a sound that folds seamlessly into neo-soul and R&B, creating something both ancient and entirely her own. In this episode of SBS Spice, Gayathri joins Dilpreet Kaur Taggar in studio ahead of her first-ever Australian performance at the Art Gallery of New South Wales. They speak about learning to trust your voice in a world of streaming stats, making music from instinct not formula, and why her song “Made It” became a quiet declaration of self-worth. Listen only on SBS Spice, wherever you get your podcasts.

    The Great Indian Rebrand: Why the West Is Just Catching On
    2025/07/01
    Prada Kolhapuris are trending. But why does something rooted in South Asian culture only become “fashionable” once it hits a Western runway? And when did basmati rice bags become designer? Dilpreet and Suhayla unpack the mixed feelings around cultural validation, from luxury takes on everyday items to oil massages rebranded as TikTok wellness rituals. Is it appreciation, appropriation or just capitalism? Plus, why Ed Sheeran’s Sapphire feels like collaboration done right, and why Coldplay and Beyoncé didn’t get the same love.

    Sharon Johal: A Career in Resistance
    2025/06/18
    Sharon Johal didn’t just want to act. She wanted to be seen. The Punjabi-Australian actor left behind a career in law to fill a gap she’d long noticed on Australian screens: someone who looked like her. First seen on SBS’ Bollywood Star, Sharon has gone on to appear in the cult-classic Neighbours, The Block, and more — becoming both a familiar face and a vocal force for change. But visibility has come at a cost, with Sharon facing racial abuse off-screen and online. In this conversation with Suhayla Sharif at SBS Sydney, she reflects on 15 years in front of the camera and what it really means to take up space.
