About This Podcast

What if love wasn’t a limited resource? What if commitment didn’t have to look the same for everyone?

In this episode of The Mohua Show, host Mohua Chinappa sits down with author Arundhati Ghosh to explore one of the most misunderstood and debated relationship models of our time: polyamory.

Drawing from her book All Our Loves and her own lived experience, Arundhati shares what it means to love more than one person, why polyamory is often reduced to misconceptions about sex and commitment, and how honesty, autonomy, and emotional responsibility shape non-monogamous relationships.

Together, they discuss jealousy, societal expectations, marriage, freedom, and the ways in which our understanding of love has been shaped by culture, history, and tradition. They also examine the challenges of practicing polyamory in India, from stigma and gendered assumptions to the lack of legal recognition for diverse relationship structures.

Whether you’re curious about polyamory, questioning conventional ideas about relationships, or simply interested in how people navigate love and connection, this conversation offers a thoughtful and nuanced perspective on intimacy, commitment, and personal freedom.
