Join us as we dive into Aswin's ten-part Instagram series exploring the culture shocks of living in Colombia as an Indian.

In this episode, we dive deep into Tamil romance and taboo. 💔 What starts as a reaction to Vinnaithaandi Varuvaya, Alai Paayuthey, and OK Kanmani turns into an honest conversation about why love is still taboo in India, how caste still shapes love marriages, and what these films reveal about real-life struggles couples face. A Colombian and an Indian share raw, intercultural reflections on love, freedom, and tradition.
