The fact that adversity only made her stronger. Also, her studying law while holding another job resonated with me personally as I did that myself. What a courageous woman she is taking the cause of the downtrodden! This interview made me cry.
Thank you for making space for the voices that you don't agree with in entirety. Now more than ever, in the time of cancel culture, it's important for people to see people who disagree without losing respect and admiration for one another. Faye for PM.
Stupendous Aabha Ma'am, your identity reflects your name, Today's India is in dire need of people like you.... Thanks much Faye for streaming this conversation... Proud to be a Lucknowite👏🏻👏🏻
What an interview Faye, and what a journey, especially the second half, her work after she acquired a law degree. There's so much muck people like her can expose. I wish we had more like her in the system. Thank you for introducing a woman like her.
Faye❤ I cannot thank you enough for bringing Abha Singh on your platform. I cannot tell you how much her words mean to me.. her story of struggle, losses, and eventual victories, it just touched something inside me.
If media could tell such stories everyday, to teach lessons, inspire, give new perspectives, then people would not be clueless, & prone to polarization.
What a wonderful chat. If we had even 1000 Abha Singh's in our country it would bring change to the society. Feel so proud & good that such women are Indians.
Times have changed, but unfortunately, women's trials and tribulations haven't changed a lot; what an inspiration Abha Singh is! Thank you, and congratulations on this wonderful, inspiring conversation, Faye! More power to you two.💙
What a fabulous, heroic, ambitious woman ! Those few seconds of vulnerability -when her voice cracked revealed the hard work, pain, courage and sacrifice she and her family experienced through those years. My salaams to you ma'am !
This video needs to be made part of the curriculum and orientation in schools, universities, work places etc. What a feel good journey, Abha. Thanks to Faye for having the patience of a saint and letting Abha just speak her mind. Gem of a content in recent months. God bless.
This podcast is a perfect example of " Freedom of expression " in its correct sense. It give hope to all those honest citizens, who find themselves in hopeless situation, while dealing with corrupt individuals. This type of inspiring interview is the need of the hour. Hats of to you both for keeping honesty & integrity alive, in a society that is sinking in corruption...😊
Two True women of Substance! A BIG Thank you Faye for bringing us this insight into the life of this countrys" True Angel of Justice!" It's a reality check into realizing nobody's life is a bed of roses ! Hardships are part and parcel of everyones day to day but how you rise above it is what matters! Bravo Abha!!! Abhay Singh IS the poster child for Selflessness in all its glory!
Another excellent interview, Faye. It's refreshing to watch a conversation where the guest is given the space to express themselves freely, without the interviewer overshadowing the discussion. Abha Singh’s tenacity and strong sense of social responsibility are truly admirable. We need more people with her conviction. However, I still respectfully disagree with her stance on not defending rapists or terrorists, as I believe in the principle that everyone is innocent until proven guilty. Labeling individuals without a legal conviction can hinder their right to a fair trial and challenge our ability to uphold justice as a society. Thanks for continually bringing such thought-provoking guests.
If only we would give 1/2 importance given to 'celebrities & their wedding' to heroic individuals like Abha Ma'am we'd have been a different society 💫 Thank you Faye for bringing us her story
Faye you are bringing back the art of the interview ! What a deeply complex woman your guest is. Please do more interviews with fascinating people like her who are not household names. She has seen everything and it is so refreshing to see a conversation between 2 extremely intelligent and articulate people who may not agree on everything but search for the truth together.
Faye, all my life so far I have seeked women who are everything that Abha Singh is because I want to see women I can identify with, those who are unabashedly themselves, successful and honest and warm and proud of their trajectory. They have been hard to find, which often put me in a dilemma about if the way I am is “too much”. This conversation was beyond inspiring, it was validating. Such an incredible conversation. And thank you for asking such good questions ❤
What a lovely interview! How inspiring is Abha Singh’s story and how well u have presented it Faye! I chose to stay back in the hotel in London and not accompany fam on an outing - just because this was so gripping & interesting- I had to finish watching it!!👌😊so much love ❤️ to both of you ‘real women’👏👏🙌❣️
What an inspiring journey. Despite having two little kids, her husband fought for justice. They both left their jobs to pursue law and fight for whats right. Amazing. These are the kinds of stories that inspire, move and being out the REAL struggle of an average Indian.
@Faye D’Souza I am a huge fan of your channel and you. Kudos to you and your team for giving us such great content. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this interview. It is so refreshing to listen to Ms. Abha Singh. The woman is so courageous, brilliant and ferocious orator. We need more women leaders like Ms. Abha Singh and mam I became a fan of yours after seeing this interview. Thank you for being you and thank you for fighting for justice. Lots of respect to you and to your family. Namaste!
What a great interview Faye, thank you Abha Singh for speaking for being so transparent and true. I loved listening to you. Wish both of you every success in your missions.
This was such an empowering and encouraging talk. Her pride in Integrity, Honesty & Education shines through!!! If we ever feel lonely and sad we can come back to this.
This lady knew about UPSC exam in 1987.Despite being a graduate at that time many of us knew only about banking exam. Our environment taught us movies, language, politics etc which was just useless.
I wish I could meet her some day!! This is so inspiring! Goes on to proof how a woman can play so many roles successfully once she makes up her mind!!! Hats off to her!!! I so agree with the fact that women often don't have the money to afford a lawyer and even if they somehow manage to, there's no guarantee that they will not be cheated by their own male/female lawyers!!! I have faced it first hand and was shocked to see the mask falling off!!! Thank you for sharing your insights, you made my day ma'am! We need more of you! Thank you so much Faye, it's a pleasure listening to you!!!
This was indeed a very eye opening interview in many ways. Lot of power vibes that came out of this. Importance of law, dynamics of marriage and the need for women to understand their rights. So much more of this is required for our country. Please interview more such people Faye. Loved it. I also agree with Abha Mam on her point that the AIB roast was crass and especially objectifying on the lines of women and sexual interpretations. ( I paused the interview and revisited those bits) Indeed we need to be more sensitive of who we are as a larger Indian society and not blindly follow western culture because it's cool and sounds fun. Art and specifically comedy in this case is amazing when done tastefully. Zakir Khan is a case in point. A comedian with sensibility of the Indian audience who I don't think I've ever heard thus far crossing the line in being mindlessly abusive or sexual just to make people laugh.
Respect to both Abha Ma'am and Faye. Such an inspiring conversation. Thank you for sharing with us your story Abha Ma'am and Faye for bringing her to this show. Could relate to many aspects like failure is the learning curve and fighting for what is right in the face of adversity. Thanks once again!
OMG ! this is so inspiring - brought tears to my eyes alongwith her ; Made me sit up and listen to each word ; whenever a woman is in low spirits, she should watch this ;hats off to her husband and thank god for her
One of my favourite movie is "Erin Brockovich" but this real life story is more Deep, Moving and Inspiring!! We need more individual like Abha Singh Ma'am.
Loved the interaction. Abha mam is so articulate and sincere in her response. Got to know her 4 yrs ago when she supported Rhea Chakraborty against the whole TRP media. Have so much respect for her for being brute honest and sticking to only legal facts. Pls try to cover the status of Sushant Singh Rajput case sometime in ur channel.
Great. Eye opener. I had worked with you in EDI custom. YP is my Role Model and my hero. I read his Books. Master piece. I m still fighting my case since 1987. I argued in person before HC Bombay.
Thank you Abha .. for drawing attention to the way women have to negotiate life to stay true to themselves and their calling... Your sharing resonated with me and so many other women I am sure...
Love watching this video on Honestly ❤ It’s wonderful to meet n listen Abha mam Yes! Iron Lady in true sense Honest person like her is like a gem 💎 in today’s corrupt polluted world God bless u both 🙏🙌
Excellent interview! One of the most entertaining and thought provoking videos I've seen recently. I agree with Abha ma'am on the AIB case. While freedom of speech is important to protect, certain checks and balances are also necessary to promote and protect our society. Normalising profanity especially ones that are derogatory to women will worsen our already patriarchal, misogynistic social fabric. I support the message that such behaviours are not tolerated in public domain. Brings to mind the debate over Kabir Singh movie. The idea is to chastise content that caters to easily influenced toxic individuals that normalise or aggravate their toxicity. Edit: however this is not in any way in support of the Broadcast Bill. Being able to question and critique problematic content retrospectively should be considered different from censorship and bullying
Thank you for doing this interview. It is very inspiring to listen to life stories from courageous women like her. PS: it’s also refreshing to listen to a non-celebrity interview.
Awesome,I am a person with cerebral palsy. I initiated a pro bono case against the Uttar Pradesh government in the Allahabad High Court two years ago. Unfortunately, I perceive a decline in my lawyer's initial fervor for pursuing the case. While the central government acknowledges individuals with cerebral palsy as eligible for assistant professor positions, the Uttar Pradesh government has yet to establish suitability criteria for candidates with cerebral palsy in higher education.
Just existing-yes, that's what we’re doing. We go about our daily routines, run our errands, and show up for the people who matter. Oh yes, we are indeed alive. But it’s just another piece of news-a distant city, another girl, another Nirbhaya. And yet, here we are, merely alive, attending to our duties and chores. What power do we have to change the laws? Who are we, until it strikes closer to home, or in our own homes? Until then, we simply exist. Let’s keep living and witnessing one heinous crime after another. After all, we’re just alive. (Change the law for the betterment of society . Not an appeal it’s an order from the citizens of India )
If AIB was targeted for vulgar words against women, then why didn't she raise her voice when some ministers comments on rape case "that one should enjoy rape when it is happening" ?
I liked the interview not because she was great or anything but because she was honest and through the interview showed her real self. Real people are not black and white, they are flawed and THAT IS FINE. While she is an activist and a lawyer, she hates men using the technicalities of the law to not give money to their wives during divorce but she is happy to use those technicalities to choke freedom of speech (blocking AIB roast was the worst thing against freedom of speech at the time, many more such things happened later).. While she is helping woman get justice, through her experiences she has become inherently biased as she says 90% of men are corrupt while woman are less corrupt. I admire her work and hope she continues to do so but she has become jaded over the years.. interesting to observe..
This was one of the most inspiring conversations I've ever had! What part of Abha Singh's life inspired you the most?
The constant urge of not giving up and stading by the values
The fact that adversity only made her stronger. Also, her studying law while holding another job resonated with me personally as I did that myself. What a courageous woman she is taking the cause of the downtrodden! This interview made me cry.
When she says, when one door closes there are 10 other doors.
Thank you for making space for the voices that you don't agree with in entirety. Now more than ever, in the time of cancel culture, it's important for people to see people who disagree without losing respect and admiration for one another. Faye for PM.
Waiting for full interview
Stupendous Aabha Ma'am, your identity reflects your name, Today's India is in dire need of people like you.... Thanks much Faye for streaming this conversation... Proud to be a Lucknowite👏🏻👏🏻
We already have a beautiful word for ourselves, Lakhnawi. Let's not use the term which is a rip-off of Delhite
What an interview Faye, and what a journey, especially the second half, her work after she acquired a law degree. There's so much muck people like her can expose. I wish we had more like her in the system. Thank you for introducing a woman like her.
Well said, i was surprised to see the existence of honest people (the couple) in our system.
Faye❤ I cannot thank you enough for bringing Abha Singh on your platform. I cannot tell you how much her words mean to me.. her story of struggle, losses, and eventual victories, it just touched something inside me.
If media could tell such stories everyday, to teach lessons, inspire, give new perspectives,
then people would not be clueless, & prone to polarization.
Ditto thoughts
The hero! The voice! We need more women like you in our COUNTRY Abha singh !

Abha Singh did not mince any words, blunt and forthright. We need many more of her in our country.

In a vile and corrupt system, thank you for standing out and being you with courage, conviction and integrity.

This was such an empowering and encouraging talk. Her pride in Integrity, Honesty & Education shines through!!! If we ever feel lonely and sad we can come back to this.

What an inspiring interview. Thank you Faye for this one.❤So much for us to learn from Abha ma'ams life
What a fabulous interview..
Really inspiring, thank you for supporting the truth, poor and helpless people especially women
Thank you Faye for bring this story and experience of Abha Singh to us. Is there a way we can get involved with her/ support her?

Excellent Interview

So much to learn and implement in one’s own life.
Hats off to the gentleman!

Aabha Singh is a brave and clever lady, Wish we have more ladies like you"ll to fight dishonest people
Omg,what a lady❤ respect for you grown up only,real hero
I salute you ma'am 🫡 for your honesty ❤❤

Such an inspiring woman and what an awesome interview.
Abha singh dared to quit customs, definitely lot of people mocked her. Really very brave decision.
Very great of Abha singh ,she very ferociously laid naked the system
Admirable 👏👏👏👏👏
Absolutely brilliant interview.. 👏
Very inspiring … hats off Faye
Great interview.
However one suggestion kindly add time stamps with topics for better viewing.
If AIB was targeted for vulgar words against women, then why didn't she raise her voice when some ministers comments on rape case "that one should enjoy rape when it is happening" ?
One of the best conversations ever
'The beauty of failure' is one of the main themes of F. Kafka's small body of works.
Please do more of these!!!!
Beautiful interview
Ladies are less corrupt? Ms. Buch, Ms Kochhar etc...
Brilliant 👏 interview.
Excellent👍👏.. Super 👌.. So inspiring🙏
loved it! so inspiring and so good her stories are
Wow truly inspiring🔥
this was a brilliant Episode.
Salute you Madam ❤ ul are true inspiration
