News9 Live, India’s pioneering 24/7 digital-exclusive news stream, is poised to conclude the intellectually stimulating season one of  ‘Duologue with Barun Das’ with the finale featuring Dr. Devi Shetty on World Heart Day, September 29.

In a departure from the conventional interview formats, the show reveals an unseen facet of Dr. Shetty’s persona during a candid tête-à-tête with host and TV9 Network MD & CEO Barun Das, the news network said in a press release yesterday.

The Devi Shetty episode kicks off with a profound exploration of empathy to soon evolve into a thought-provoking discourse on the intricate calculus of happiness, the statement added.

When the show host Das proposed the concept of incentivizing fitness to stimulate the health sector, Dr. Shetty responded in affirmation. He said, “India stands on the verge of an extraordinary achievement – the liberation of healthcare from affluence.

“This transformative objective is not a distant dream but an attainable reality within the next five years.”

Further, the host leads the conversation transcending the physical aspects of heart health, delving into the emotional and mental well-being of individuals.

Reflecting on his experience on the show, Dr. Shetty said, “‘Duologue with Barun Das’ is one of the most memorable experiences in my life. I thoroughly enjoyed it.”
