NARGIS FAKHRI, Actor
Cosmo India: Do you believe in astrology?
Nargis Fakhri: “Back in the day, when I had an astrologer read my birth chart, he was fairly accurate about a few of my personality traits during my childhood and young adult years. I do believe in astrology; astrology gives you a time frame for what you should be doing at certain points in your life, based on planetary positions and whatnot.”
CI: And has any astrological prediction about your life come true?
NF: “While I thoroughly enjoy tarot card readings—and even possess my own set of cards—no particular prediction has actually come true.”
CI: Any particular videos that you are watching on YouTube these days?
NF: “I love watching educational videos—doctors discussing the latest discoveries in the medical field, psychology and human behaviour, holistic healing, and so on. I find esoteric, metaphysical stuff interesting as well.”
CI: What is the last thing you laughed at on the Internet?
NF: “A super-hilarious compilation of cat and dog videos.”
CI: Do you believe in fate...or do we chart our own destiny?
NF: “We should hold ourselves accountable for the happenings in our life, and what we do with it... I believe in the power of manifestation; we do exercise some control over our lives. We must focus on what we can control, and do our best to move forward.”
CI: Tell us about the sounds that have a soothing effect on you...

'Femininity' Is Coming for Your Feminism
In the recording studio, Allie Beth Stuckey sits on a cream sofa, her blonde hair perfectly tousled. She leans into the microphone and speaks. She's chatty and fun, interspersing the serious with the silly and, at first glance, she's just like any other podcaster. In many ways, Stuckey's entire brand is built on being a regular 'girl's girl'. Her hair is impeccably blow-dried, she hates matcha, wears floral dresses, and throws in pop culture references like she's just another millennial on group chat. Her podcast is called Relatable and that's exactly what she wants to be to her listeners. But Stuckey isn't just here to chat. She's here to convert.
