SNEHA SUHAS, RADIO JOCKEY

Meet Sneha Suhas, who shares her awe-inspiring metamorphosis from a socially awkward girl to a confident stand up comedienne and radio jockey.

Sneha landed a sales job post college and as she presented her sales pitch to one customer after another, she realized that she had found her calling – telling stories! Now how does one make a living out of telling stories? Sneha figured out, not one, but two ways of doing it. She became a stand up comedienne and radio jockey. The former allowed her to express herself, create chuckles and spin fabulous stories and the latter ensured she entertained people with her wit and way with words.

I wanted to know from Sneha how she suddenly found the courage to let go of her inhibitions and make friends with the spotlight and she shared that, ironically, she overcame it when she decided to literally stand away from the crowd and interact with them. She found out that she was comfortable in her skin and was OK being awkward! That, and a friendly elderly neighbourhood librarian that she met as a child who told her “do what you have to, come what may!” taught her that it is normal to be afraid, but one must go ahead anyway!

Her message to all the women of The Wonder Women World is to be unapologetic about who you are, about doing thing differently and breaking norms. She adds that, like most women, she is working towards it too.

These are exciting times for women and as Sneha continues to whisk her audience away into another world with her comedy and talking, I asked her how it feels to always be in the public eye and if she is afraid of faltering, to which she said, with a twinkle in her eye, “I am prepared for the worst, but I am always expecting the best!”
