Chuski Pop
Creators Sweety and Pappu (aliases) are “just two Indian chicks riding the fourth wave of feminism in salwar kameez and golden heels, while flipping the bird to aunties”. They wanted to create a space where they could voice their feelings. “Desi women come from a culture infused with misogyny. Our goal is to emphasise that there’s strength in numbers, and that equality is worth fighting for. It’s the perfect time to ride the wave and be bold and unafraid,” says the duo. Apart from episodes on topics like arranged marriages, the importance of financial independence for women, and menstruation, they also air ‘views on news’ episodes called Aaj Ka Kabootar. “It’s a mixed bag of stories with a healthy dose of pop culture, Bollywood, and pressing news items.” Of the duo, Sweety edits the episodes and creates their trademark posters. “We want to celebrate women who held their superstar status in a male-dominated industry. This also influences the art of Chuski Pop— bright, saturated colours that are reminiscent of movie posters of that era.”
