A common misconception about social media stars is that they all have blissful, perfect relationships, and they never fall for Mr. Wrong. To look at Joty Kay and Neha Shaida, you would agree they are two stunning Indian women. Putting their chiseled features and head-turning figures aside, these two Brown Queens punch all the spots on the ticket: intelligent, outgoing, independent, successful, and hilarious. Yet, on their new Podcast ‘Brown Queens,’ they commiserate various issues, especially the age-old problem of falling for the wrong guy.
Strong media backgrounds
Neither of these two are strangers to the airwaves. Joty is a popular radio personality best known for her uncensored opinions and stories revealed on Joty Kay Uncut, her appropriately named talk show on Dash Radio and Rukus Avenue Radio. Neha, a journalism major with a Master’s degree in media, found her niche in radio with the night show at Power 106 in LA but then moved on to BET and Tuneln. She eventually landed her own radio show in Las Vegas.
Now, Neha is back in LA, and these two intense personalities have their own podcast, which explores the ins and outs and dos and don’ts of being a ‘brown girl’ with modern aspirations and traditional ties. The topics are common to any audience; however, these two have a hook that sets them apart from any other show.
Joty and Neha offer an intriguing perspective of Indian culture in modern life. They are successful Influencers and independent modern-day women, yet they expose their most vulnerable and real characteristics with uproarious laughter and words that would get ‘bleeped’ on syndicated networks.
Follow your dreams
But times have not always been so lucrative for Joty, who got her start on Vine. Back in the rough days, Vine was a way for her to escape a stressful and toxic home environment. She learned she was funny and offered something people gravitated towards. Today she has amassed more than 100 million views and a growing fan base of more than 60,000 supporters and counting.
On their serious side, both Joty and Neha have a strong message for Indian girls — follow your dreams and don’t believe you are an embarrassment because you are different. Joty and Neha have grown to understand that they have to be true to themselves, and their podcast is a perfect venue for showing their real personalities and allowing us to discover what life is like as a Brown Queen.
Even Brown Queens Have Dating Troubles
It seems utterly unbelievable that either one of these two would struggle in the dating department. However, it takes a pretty self-assured man to stand next to one of these women because they attract quite a following. It also seems quite unreal to discover that both of them ‘hung on to’ Mr. Wrong for far too long, giving these guys way more grace than they ever deserved. But as these two talk, their relationship issues sound just like ones everyone else has, proving celebrity status does not give you a free pass to a fairytale relationship.
A completely refreshing aspect of their relationship talk is they weren’t just two girlfriends bitching about their men. Well, there was a little bitching — and this is where the humor seeped in. But amid the trash talk and laughs, they analyzed the situation and seriously tried to arrive at answers to their problems. And while there was hella blame being thrown, the Brown Queens were not too proud to admit a lot of their problems lie with them and not just the men.
So, in addition to several “He’s Trash!” comments, the duo made a brave confession. Just like many women all over the world, they both admitted to prolonging toxic relationships with men who never gave them what they really wanted and who only gave anything on their own terms. Straight talk — right there!
Their conclusion this day had many directions, but they had some advice for all men: “Find yourself. Know yourself. And when you’re ready to be a man, you are ready for a relationship.” And then they had some advice for each other: “Choose people who choose you.” This is more straight talk from two vibrant personalities, hitting it big with their podcast, ‘Brown Queens.’ For more hilariously real conversations, follow the link below.
