In this episode of Everyday Empires, we sit down with the multifaceted Mukti Mohan - dancer, actor, and entrepreneur.

We explore: • The Science of Dance: Why 9 years of Bharatnatyam saved her from career-ending injuries. • The Industry’s "Male Gaze": A heartbreaking look at how professional technique is often edited out for "item shots". • The Actor’s Transition: How she "shamelessly" approached Anurag Kashyap to assist on Bombay Velvet just to learn the craft. • Mukti Manch ( @MuktiManch ): Her vision for creating a shelter where artists can return to "Ground Zero" and experiment without judgment. Mukti Mohan doesn't hold back in this raw episode of Everyday Empires. From the heartbreak of having her technical dance skills edited out for "male gaze" body shots to the bold move of assisting on film sets just to learn how a camera breathes , Mukti reveals what it actually takes to transition from a reality show winner to a Netflix actor.
