In this episode of Candid Confessions with Chhavi, we sit down with DR. AMITI AGRAWAL, fertility and IVF specialist and Founder of SUNSHINE FERTILITY, to discuss how IVF is evolving and what often goes undiscussed.

IVF is a boon to the fertility industry. But what are the ethical aspects that are often missed? What does the medical fraternity fail to discuss with respect to the risks involved? Are there really risks involved, or is IVF absolutely safe? At Candid Confessions with Chhavi, we sat across with DR. AMITI AGRAWAL, a fertility and IVF specialist and the Founder of Sunshine Fertility, and discussed these at length.

The future of IVF, designer babies, and the responsibility of prospective parents towards their babies. Tune in, share and subscribe.

In this deeply moving episode of Candid Confessions with Chhavi, actor ANUJ SACHDEVA opens up about a disturbing real-life incident — a physical assault by a man in his own building complex, that left him shaken, confused, and questioning the very systems meant to ensure safety and justice.

For the first time, Anuj speaks about the emotional aftermath, the helplessness, and the harsh realities he encountered while navigating the legal process — things he admits he never knew or expected to face. From emotional trauma to procedural gaps, this conversation sheds light on how unprepared most of us are when confronted with conflict and violence in our own homes or neighbourhoods.

Joining the conversation is Senior Mumbai Police Inspector SUDHIR KUDALKAR, also the founder of PAL Foundation, who brings a grounded and humane perspective.

This is not just a conversation about one incident —it’s about awareness, accountability, and the courage to speak up.

🎙️ Watch till the end — because this conversation might change the way you see safety, law, and justice in our cities.

03:01 What exactly happened in Anuj Sachdeva's life on the fateful night of 14th December where he got assaulted in his own parking compound.

12:04 What was the role of the security in the society while this was happening?

14:15 Anuj's stand of not hitting back and going to the police, was that the right thing to do?

15:16 Is this incident related to pets? Somewhere is it frustration of a person who is not an animal lover?? Are pets easy targets to take out your vengeance towards pet owners? Why is the pet being blamed?

16:15 The manipulation of FIR by the attacker and Anuj's subsequent disappointment by Mumbai Police

18:35 Did being a celebrity and a public figure help Anuj? What are the take-aways from this incident which will benefit everyone watching

20:45 Should the society be more mindful about hiring security personnel? Anuj's take on the catch 22 situation around this.

24:24 The section changes with the object that has been used to hit you, as well as the severity of the injury. Does that mean being attacked has no value? The small loopholes in the FIR registration process which adds to the difficulty level of the victim.

33:15 More manipulation of the FIR because a common man does not understand the difference between sections.
