Not even in hospitals.But what if the air around us, even indoors, is quietly affecting our health in ways we don’t even realise?In this episode, I speak with MR. SHAILESH NIGAM (COO- AAF INTERNATIONAL) about the hidden reality of indoor air quality and why it deserves far more attention than it currently gets.We talk about how your own home could be generating pollution through furniture, walls, and daily habits; why AC environments, poor ventilation, and crowded spaces like offices, gyms, and airports can impact your health and how even hospitals need stricter air quality standards to truly ensure patient safety.We also dive into the data — millions of deaths linked to air pollution, and how these invisible particles don’t just affect your lungs, but your brain, heart, and every cell in your body.This isn’t about fear. It’s about awareness and responsibility.Tune in, Share, and Follow.GUEST: MR.

In this deeply moving episode of Candid Confessions with Chhavi, actor ANUJ SACHDEVA opens up about a disturbing real-life incident — a physical assault by a man in his own building complex, that left him shaken, confused, and questioning the very systems meant to ensure safety and justice.For the first time, Anuj speaks about the emotional aftermath, the helplessness, and the harsh realities he encountered while navigating the legal process — things he admits he never knew or expected to face. From emotional trauma to procedural gaps, this conversation sheds light on how unprepared most of us are when confronted with conflict and violence in our own homes or neighbourhoods.Joining the conversation is Senior Mumbai Police Inspector SUDHIR KUDALKAR, also the founder of PAL Foundation, who brings a grounded and humane perspective.This is not just a conversation about one incident —it’s about awareness, accountability, and the courage to speak up.🎙️ Watch till the end — because this conversation might change the way you see safety, law, and justice in our cities.GUESTS: SUDHIR KUDALKAR, Senior Police Inspector Mumbai Police, Founder PAL Foundation ANUJ SACHDEVA, ActorAlso follow CANDID CONFESSIONS WITH CHHAVI podcast on:www.youtube.com/@bwwcwww.youtube.com/@candidconfessionswithchhaviwww.instagram.com/candidconfessionswithchhaviwww.instagram.com/chhavihussein✨ Join the BEING WOMAN WITH CHHAVI community for these exclusive features.• Weekly newsletter with intimate reflections• 2–3 minute audio nuggets on topics we all silently struggle with (Echoes Of Chhavi)• Anonymous messaging—to share your story and get guidance.FREE REGISTRATION for all at:www.beingwomanwithchhavi.comCHAPTERS:(00:00) Introduction to the conversation(03:01) What exactly happened in Anuj Sachdeva's life on the fateful night of 14th December where he got assaulted in his own parking compound.(12:04) What was the role of the security in the society while this was happening?(14:15) Anuj's stand of not hitting back and going to the police, was that the right thing to do?(15:16) Is this incident related to pets?
