In this hard-hitting and revealing full episode of The Democratic Hindu Podcast, host Pawan KK Nagpal sits down with veteran Bollywood producer, writer, and lyricist Subhash Sehgal for an unforgettable conversation that strips away the glitz to reveal the real face of the Indian film industry.

From navigating the internal politics of Bollywood to observing the increasing disconnect between cinema and Sanatan Dharma, Sehgal shares stories you won’t hear anywhere else. He speaks candidly about the power struggles in film production, the evolving role of spirituality in storytelling, and how today’s political climate is influencing cultural narratives in both overt and subtle ways.

Sehgal also takes us through his personal journey — from scripting chartbuster songs to producing impactful films — and how his roots in Indian culture and dharma have shaped his voice in a highly competitive industry.
