This Mother’s Day, meet Nidhi Kothari — a stay-at-home mum who swapped school runs for stand-up, performing her first solo comedy show before a crowd of 800 after turning 40. With sharp wit and heartfelt honesty, Nidhi draws on her life as a mother, daughter, and wife navigating two cultures. In this episode, she shares her journey of self-discovery, the power of laughter, and advice for mums trying to balance family life with long-held dreams— and how she donated all proceeds from her debut show to a local temple.
