The homemakers breaking taboos on Instagram

Published

on



As a child, Pradnya loved kabaddi, a popular local sport, and dancing. Although she was a good player, her parents never encouraged her ambitions. But now – 47 and a widow – she says she has rediscovered her other passion – dancing – thanks to social media.

65-year-old Vasanti once struggled to make ends meet while selling snacks on a pushcart. But now her three sons have successful careers and she has decided to focus on herself. With her youngest son’s help, she began sharing videos of her lip-syncing to popular songs.

Reetu, 46, became a local celebrity for her Instagram dancing videos – although her family was not happy about it. But with her husband’s support, she says she has decided to forge ahead and dream bigger.

The three women tell the BBC about their journey to internet fame.

Who is winning the US-Canada trade war? | BBC Americast

Published

on



The trade war between the US and Canada has escalated after Canadian prime minister Mark Carney walked away from negotiations to cut a new trade deal with the US and declared up to 50% retaliatory tariffs on hundreds of American goods. Sumi and Anthony discuss how America’s once closest ally is fighting back, and if it could become a political problem for Trump as the midterms approach.

And we mark the passing of musical legend Dolly Parton who has died at the age of 80. With a reputation defined by her quick quips and deep kindness, she had fans from across the political divide, leading an Americaster to ask what would have happened if she’d ever run for president?
