In this episode of Half Past Chai, we sit down with Brook & Harjot, an interracial husband-wife duo who’ve built a loyal following sharing relatable, funny, and heartfelt content about culture, love, and identity.
We talk about what it’s truly like marrying across cultures (Punjabi & Western), the surprises, the challenges, and the joy. From family expectations to the funniest misunderstandings, and how content creation became their space to laugh together and bring others in.
If you've ever wondered what it takes to balance two worlds, stay true to yourself, and build something together, this is for you.
