Raseel Gujral Ansal is an interior architect and designer, and the daughter of Satish Gujral, the Padma Vibhushan painter, sculptor, and architect who designed the Belgian Embassy in New Delhi. In conversation with Shweta's Talkies, Ansal speaks candidly about what it costs to build an independent practice under a famous parent's name — a self-consciousness she describes resolving into confidence only in her late teens — before founding her own studio and, later, Casa Paradox and Casa Pop, ventures spanning architecture, interior design, and product design under one roof. Her central argument is that Indian design must "evolve or die": it should carry what she calls a subtext of India without becoming costume, a distinction she draws sharply against nostalgia, which she considers a kind of datedness rather than heritage. She traces this through her own observation of Indian domestic taste since the 1980s — living rooms built on what she calls a colonial hangover of imported ornament, giving way to a global-aspirational phase, and now, in her view, an unresolved third stage still finding its own voice. It is a first-person account of how a household's sense of style shifts across generations, offered by someone whose business has been, in effect, defining what that style should look like next. Ansal also demystifies the design industry itself for an audience that rarely gets it explained plainly — how an architect's role differs from an interior architect's, an interior designer's, and a contractor's — genuinely useful reference material wrapped inside a more personal conversation about inheritance, confidence, and what "good taste" actually means when it has to be transmitted, not taught. Recorded at Chand Bagh, Delhi, as part of Shweta's Talkies' Heritage series.
