What happens when the daughter your parents raised becomes the adult who now raises them?

Actor, model, and entrepreneur Dipannita Sharma joins Raising Parents to share her deeply personal journey — caring for her father through Alzheimer’s , grieving his loss, and now supporting her aging mother emotionally and financially alongside her sister.

She speaks about the values she grew up with, the fierce love that binds siblings and parents, and the quiet, everyday fear of losing the people who once felt invincible.

With gentle yet unflinching questions, host Meenakshi Menon opens up a conversation we rarely have in public — about illness, decline, role reversals, and why aging parents remain a taboo topic in many Indian homes.

This episode is for anyone who:

Is caring for a parent

Has lost one

Or knows that moment may be somewhere on the horizon

And wants to show up with a little more courage, softness, and grace. ️

We have a peculiar love-hate relationship with parents that evolves as we all grow up, and yet, there is an intense vacuum left behind when a parent is gone. It’s the "empty feeling" in your daily schedule and the realization that every day, those we love are getting a little older. If you’re currently in the phase of "raising your parents," this one is for you. Make the most of the time you have left.
