Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.I love Bollywood. I remember being twelve, standing in front of the mirror, physically dressing up in a Shalwar Kameez, lip synching to a song picturised on Shahrukh Khan and dreaming of becoming a Bollywood star.
I've since learnt to stop chasing such ridiculous pipe dreams and convey my passion in a different way: through my breakfast show on Club Asia Radio. I've been fortunate enough to interview many of the actors and actresses I loved as a child (Akshay Kumar, Saif Ali Khan, Kajol) as well as the rising stars of the modern generation (Imraan Khan, Deepika Padukone).
Listen to my radio show – The Nashta Nooshta Show, every weekday between 6-10am, with all things East and West: music, lifestyle, entertainment and culture on Club Asia Radio 963 & 972am. www.clubasiaonline.com.
