Two young NRIs from England have taken the podcast route to tell us all what it means to be desi but firang in Mumbai

Krishna Khunti and Danny Sura
Krishna Khunti and Danny Sura have a lot more in common than good looks. Both were born in England to Indian parents, moved to Mumbai in 2011 and are in love with the city. But, as is often the case with love, it is fraught with challenges. "When I was in the UK, I had heard stories of Mumbai. I thought I was prepared for anything that would be thrown at me. Now, I can safely say, I was wrong," laughs Khunti, a wellness expert. Sura, an aspiring actor, has been filming short video diaries to document his experiences.
Their life stories are now part of Talking Brits in Bom, a JioSaavn Original podcast. Launched last week, the 30-minute episodes provide an indepth insight into what it means to be an NRI in this city. Through anecdotes, they discuss the real deal but with the necessary dose of humour. Sura recalls his first audition here, which was a far cry from the way it was conducted in England, he says. "There, you have an appointment and it's done on a one-to-one basis. Here, there are 80 other people waiting in the queue. You enter the room and it's full of people who aren't needed there in the first place."
