About this channel,
I am Dhanya Varma. This is my official KZbin channel. I am a talk show host, actor, emcee, a tedx speaker based out of Kochi Kerala. I was the host of the very popular show The Happiness Project On Kappa Tv. On the personal front I am married with three children. On my channel here I put out videos that could inspire or motivate you to better your personal and professional lives. I cover various skill building topics, ideas for personality development, self-improvement, self-development, changing mindsets and attitudes. I like to talk to various people from various backgrounds and bring forth interviews and personal stories from celebrities and achievers alike. We all need to grow and evolve not just as professionals but also in our more intimate relationships be it our family or our relationships. I also offer tips, life lessons and advice from my personal life experiences. My varied work experience and my professional journey as a journalist, a media person, an interviewer, a talk show host has contributed greatly to my growth as an individual. I wish to share these diverse inputs with you. I believe that positivity and positive mindsets can alter our lives dramatically. Here we have thoughts that you could apply in your day to day lives and help you in your personal growth journey. I love to travel and explore. So you would find vlogs on food and travel as well here. I hope this channel enriches your life in some way, with ideas, concepts and experiences that could expand your worldview.

I felt in interviews you were just listening to the guest like a kid with full curiosity and innocence . Now when you talked about your childhood days of listening to your grandpa for stories.. I understood how you got this expression making the opposite person to open up. Really I became a good listener to your talks. Thanks for enlightening us with positive and informative facts. 😍

I always used to watch your show . Honestly its my most favourite show❤️. It’s such a informative programme, even emotionally too. All of them went viral nowadays only. I was like “ yaa its a super show i already watched it😎” You are the main reason for the success of that show, simply bcoz the guests can’t open up their mind such effortlessly and sharing beautiful emotions before us if there is no sooo good listener and host as you are. Lots of love❤️ Waiting for the next season 🥳
