Human suffering is the womb of great art.
And sometimes, grace arrives disguised as grief.

This conversation between Pooja Bhatt and award-winning filmmaker Faraz Arif Ansari is not assembled for comfort. Not shaped to soothe. But to awaken.

What unfolds on this episode of The Pooja Bhatt Show is not grief revisited, but life awakened—a meeting where pain has already done its work. Where loss no longer numbs, but sharpens perception. Where silence is allowed to speak before language intervenes.

There is love here without possession.
Faith without certainty.
Identity without defence.
Art not as expression, but as responsibility.

Faraz believes that stories change the world—not loudly, not instantly, but by altering the inner weather of those who listen. By making us more available to truth.

Every pause carries weight.
Every word knows where it comes from.

This conversation understands something essential: suffering is not an interruption to life—it is the moment life becomes conscious of itself. Empathy is not softness, but courage. To stay awake in a fractured world is itself an ethical act.

Nothing is resolved.
Nothing is softened.

And yet, something opens.

Don’t listen to this episode to feel better.
Listen to feel truer.

Some conversations don’t offer answers.
They alter your posture toward living.
This is one of them.
