Summary

Yeah, so this has been in the works for a while, and it happened. I was able to talk to Sukanya Krishnan about all kinds of Sister Wives and non-Sister Wives stuff.


The art of interviewing, the prep she has to do prior to filming the tell-alls, her dynamic with Kody, and who is the hardest cast member to interview?


Plus, I quiz her on her childhood crush, comfort food, and her entire career. It was way fun (and surreal!) to talk to her, and I hope you all enjoy it.


Just in case anyone's curious, yes this was sanctioned by TLC and so yeah, I did try to keep it very fair and respectful of her time and what she can and can't talk about. Which I was happy to do. But I did want to mention it.


Enjoy!
