Asian Network Trending

Available for 34 days

For generations, many South Asians expected to live with their parents until marriage. But with people now getting married later in life, and with house prices, rent and the cost of living soaring, staying at home is also becoming a financial decision. So what does living with mum and dad look like in 2026? Amber Haque chats to Samir Seth and Sukh Gill about what living at home looks like today - from navigating relationships, to the practical realities of living with parents as adults. They also discuss what's driving their decision - is it cultural, financial, or a bit of both? The biggest stories that matter to Asian Network listeners across the UK with Amber Haque. Produced in Birmingham by Samsaara Productions for BBC Asian Network.
