According to the actress, “Today's youth are growing up faster than their times and are often unaware of the practicalities of their dreams. And through this program we hope to help them make informed decisions.”
The life changing decisions made on the show range from issues related to a sex change operation and early marriage to leaving a lucrative job to make a foray into filmdom.
As the host of the show she has imbibed a lot. “It has been a learning process for me. The content and format of the show which is nothing but honest conversation and that has really impressed me from the very beginning.”

The biggest challenge Sandhya faced on the show was to not voice her opinion. “I'm so opinionated and it wasn't the easiest thing to listen and not talk for a change and that's another reason why I was open to doing such a show,” she adds.
