Then, he'll be chatting to Sadi Khan, who has received an MBE for her work to improve cultural awareness between different communities. Plus, Qasa will be talking to one of the students behind a documentary that looks at the lasting effects of the Sri Lankan civil war. After that, research has been carried out looking at the link between forced marriages and people with learning disabilities. Qasa will be joined by the authors of the report, who found that many cases involve men and women from South Asian backgrounds. Finally, up and coming actor Banita Sandhu talks about starring alongside Varun Dhawan in the new Bollywood film October.
