Dissect Channels -

In this episode, we sit down with Ruchika Lohiya, poet, content creator, and one of India's most relatable voices, to talk about everything from heartbreak and hindi poetry to feminism, fear, and finding your place in the world.

Ruchika opens up about her journey from Jodhpur to Mumbai, why she left acting and advertising to pursue poetry full time, and how a single poem changed the trajectory of her life. She gets candid about being bullied in school, dealing with insomnia, celebrating 1 million followers alone, and why financial independence is non-negotiable for her.

They also get into relationships and marriage pressures, the reality of being a female creator in India, what the content creation industry gets wrong, and why the comedy scene has something every other industry needs to learn.
