In this episode of Paani with People, I sit down with Sahreen Shamim for a deeply honest, wide‑ranging conversation about identity, agency, and the quiet weight women carry through life.
We talk about growing up in Kashmir, navigating marriage on her own terms, moving across cities and countries, and what it really took to get to Oxford through crowdfunding. Sahreen reflects on privilege, guilt, ambition, and the invisible pressures that come with success. The conversation moves through work culture, mental health, anxiety, decision‑making, and the long journey of unlearning self‑doubt.
This is not a polished success story. It’s a raw reflection on becoming — with all the contradictions, fears, and courage that come with it.
