In the teaser of the podcast, Meghan can be heard saying, “This is Archetypes — the podcast where we dissect, explore, and subvert the labels that try to hold women back. I’ll have conversations with women who know all too well how these typecasts shape our narratives. And I’ll talk to historians to understand how we even got here in the first place.”

The actress was reportedly invited to be a part of the show and talk about her journey as an actress in the Hindi film industry and also speak about facing depression and other mental health issues.
