Melanie Chandra and Surina Jindal Have a Hot Mess Holiday - a podcast by Ami Thakkar Raval: Podcaster and Writer

Guys, the holidays are about to get messy. Welcome to a very special holiday bonus episode!

Today I chat with producers and stars of Comedy Centrals South-Asian led film, Hot Mess Holiday, Melanie Chandra and Surina Jindal!

Hot Mess Holiday helps get audiences into the festive season and features a largely South Asian cast including Kal Penn, Ravi Patel, Richa Moorjani and many more.

The film, which debuts on December 11th, revolves around two best friends, a young banker, Melanie (Chandra), who is unceremoniously dumped by her cheating fiancé, Rishi (Ritesh Rajan), during the Diwali holidays, and her free-spirited best friend, Surina (Jindal), who is determined to help her get lit. Along with their outrageous crew, they embark on a wild holiday adventure across Chicago, but when they come into possession of a multimillion-dollar diamond, their messy antics place their entire team in danger.

I chat with the ladies about their journey together up till now, working 16 hours a day on set, some of they crazy moments they recall while filming, why this film in particular is so relevant for the South Asian community, and some of their upcoming projects.

We also play a little "do you really know your best friend" game-there may be some dancing involved as well.

So sit back, grab your chai, and enjoy our bonus holiday episode!
