Did you watch The Girlfriend starring Rashmika Mandanna? The movie beautifully illustrates a common, painful question in real life: When does intense love cross the line into obsession and control?

In this episode of Stories with Akshay, we move past the cinematic romance and conduct a reality check. We analyze the core conflict of the film—the fight for individual choice vs. the compulsion to stay.

- Is your partner's "No" respected?

- Do women have the right to pursue dreams outside the relationship?

- Why does love turn into a contract where your partner is a "worker"?

I discuss why true love is about Choice and Autonomy, not force. If you've ever felt trapped in a relationship, this episode is a vital listen.

"Be a man." "Don't cry." "Stay strong." We’ve heard these lines since childhood. But what happens to a man’s mental health when a relationship ends? Do men really move on faster, or are they just better at hiding the pain?

In this episode of Stories with Akshay, we peel off the mask and talk about the side of love that society often ignores—Men's Mental Health. We discuss why men suffer in silence, the concept of "Delayed Grief," and why vulnerability is actually your biggest strength.

Plus, I share a powerful psychological hack called "The 8-Minute Rule" that can help you overcome loneliness without feeling like a burden to your friends.

In this episode, we cover:

💔 The stigma of "Boys Don't Cry."

🧠 Psychology of Breakups: Why it hits men later.

📞 The 8-Minute Rule: A simple trick to fix isolation.

🛡️ Why showing vulnerability makes you stronger, not weaker.

Forgiving someone who has deeply hurt us is one of the hardest things to do in life. We often misunderstand forgiveness, believing that it means we are letting the other person win or that we are condoning their wrongful actions. This anger and resentment, like a hot coal, burns us from the inside every single moment.

In this episode of Stories with Akshay, we explore a perspective-shifting idea about forgiveness. We uncover the truth that forgiveness is not a gift you give to someone else, but the greatest gift of peace and freedom you give to yourself.

What you will learn:

• Who really suffers when we hold on to unforgiveness?

• Why is it so difficult to forgive?

• How to redefine forgiveness in a liberating way.

• Practical steps to begin the process of letting go and healing.

If you want to move forward with peace, unburdened by the weight of the past, this episode is a must-listen.

In this episode, I'm sharing the realizations I've had after my breakup. It's a story about how the people who leave us aren't always the ones who want us to fail. There are those who still care, even after the breakup, even when we're angry. I'm discussing my breakup story and how she supported me through my lowest points, even after we parted ways. This realization came to me after nine months, and although it's late, I'm happy to have seen the other side of the story I once believed. The breakup wasn't about the person, but about the relationship.
