Episode 5
This episode discusses interfaith and interracial marriages within our South Asian community and how and why we tend to shy away from and shun these types of relationships due to the stigmas attached of marrying outside of the community. We also have the opportunity to chat with a happily mixed married couple, Fareena Lalani and Carlos Torruella, who share their story of how they met, the challenges they encountered both internally and externally, as well as the advice they have for parents and others that may be facing the idea of interfaith and interracial marriages in their own close knit cultural circles.
