About

Maya Bhandari was married at just 15 years old. After marriage, she faced poverty, an alcoholic husband, lack of family support, financial struggles, and the responsibility of raising two children.

Hoping to build a better future for her family, Maya went to Saudi Arabia and worked hard to support her children from abroad. But the money she sent home was misused, and later she discovered her husband was involved with another woman.

After years of struggle, Maya finally chose divorce and began rebuilding her life. Today, she has been living in Dubai for the past three years, and she says both she and her children are finally happy.

In this episode of Harka Podcast, Maya openly shares her journey of marriage, motherhood, betrayal, divorce, working abroad, and finding the courage to start again.
