36. Sangita Patel Of Entertainment Tonight Canada And HGTV

Indra and Deana speak with Canadian television personality Sangita Patel of Entertainment Tonight Canada and ‘Home To Win’ on HGTV. Sangita tells us about her experience growing up as a first-generation South Asian-Canadaian in a multicultural city like Toronto and how she turned an engineering degree into a career in television and entertainment. Sangita also discusses aspects of family life and parenting and the steps she took as a young mother to make herself and her family happy, including starting her now viral #fitnesstuesdays on social media! Sangita tells us about some of her most memorable red carpet experiences (including holding Brad Pitt’s hand on the red carpet while pregnant!), how Zoom interviews have changed celebrity chats, and how TV personalities like Oprah and Connie Chung showed her that strong women of color could be in the entertainment industry too. We also learn about her experience hosting ‘Home To Win’ on HGTV Canada, as well as becoming the first South Asian Canadian ambassador for Cover Girl at age 40. And, of course, we talk about her fun friendship with The Rock! Subscribe, rate, and review wherever you get your podcasts!
