🎙️ The big fat South Asian wedding a cultural celebration or financial pressure?

We are on the move with Chaii & Charcha, as our podcast series heads out into the community for its first-ever roundtable discussion.

Filmed at the buzzing Chaiiwala, Fosse Park in Leicester, the episode asks a question many families quietly wrestle with: Is the Big Fat South Asian Wedding a joyful cultural celebration, or an increasing financial strain?

Here one of our guest shares a strikingly honest reflection on her wedding in India. With around 1,500 guests invited to the wedding lunch by her parents, the scale of the occasion became so overwhelming that she chose not to attend her own reception.

A powerful reminder of how tradition, expectation and personal choice can collide.

Filmed at the buzzing Chaiiwala, Fosse Park in Leicester, the episode asks a question many families quietly wrestle with: Is the Big Fat South Asian Wedding a joyful cultural celebration – or an increasing financial strain?

In this teaser, our fabulous guest Nusrat reflects on how weddings have changed, questioning whether the meaning of marriage is being overshadowed by extravagant venues, designer outfits and social media expectations.

Has the focus shifted too far from the commitment itself? Or are weddings simply evolving with the times?

▶️ Join the debate.
Watch the full roundtable episode on YouTube, out on Sunday at 6pm.
Have your say — do you agree with Nusrat, or not?
