Confessions of a Desi Drama Queen

EP 51: Scary Tales of: Jinns, Bollywood’s Flop Era, & Boy Bdays

Sana Memon and Amna Saleemi Episode 51

It’s spooky season, which means every brown girl’s #1 admirer is—wait for it—a jinn. Because if you didn’t grow up being warned that one’s going to fall in love with you non-consensually, what was your childhood even? 👀 

We spiral from supernatural situationships to Sana’s post-Saiyaara emotional damage, reminiscing on the golden era when Bollywood made us kick our feet, sob dramatically, and practice our “no don’t go” lines in the mirror. Who needs a storyline when you have delusion and desire? 💔
(Spoiler: Amna hated it.)

Then we get real messy (because Bollywood still is) and discuss why some “icons” need to be uncancelled, audited, and re-cancelled—for cultural balance.

And somewhere in between all that, we spiral into the eternal mystery: why do boys hate their birthdays? Like—why are you acting like we scheduled your public execution? And more importantly, what are we even supposed to buy them? Socks? Trauma therapy? A clue? 🎁

In our Can I Be a Bitch? segment, Amna exposes the difference between movie-watchers and vibe killers, while Sana questions if the word “vintage” has officially lost all meaning.
