In their most recent episode of Love Lingo Podcasts, hosts Arsala Qureishi and Jas Sagu sit down with one of India’s youngest female detectives Tanya Puri, CEO and founder of Lady Detectives India, as she gives an insight into her work, the intricate mechanisms of cheating and also reveals the murky underbelly festering beneath the surface of most marriages.

She begins by painting a picture of modern relationships against the backdrop of a digital landscape. Social media, she says, makes cheating more accessible by allowing users to create elaborate personas. When asked about the vices that drive an individual’s urge to cheat, she delves into greed, power dynamics and emotional discontent in relationships as common motivators. What is refreshing about the conversation is that over its course, Puri addresses stereotypes related to cheating and simultaneously dismantles them by confronting the common notion that cheating is reserved to a particular socio-economic class, age or gender.
