Welcome back to UNDRESSED: THE INTERVIEW as we continue our unforgettable conversation with Valley Persian Style star Sky Askari. In Part 2, we go far beyond the headlines and dive into marriage, reality television, family, fame, and the unexpected challenges that come with opening your life to millions of viewers. From separate bedrooms and Cartier proposals to cast feuds and behind-the-scenes drama, Sky holds nothing back.
We kick things off by addressing one of the biggest topics from Valley Persian Style: Sky and her husband’s unconventional sleeping arrangement. Sky reveals that years of her husband’s increasingly unbearable snoring led her to retreat to her own bedroom, joking that she prefers to think of herself as royalty with separate chambers. Of course, we compare notes on our own marriage, laughing about arguments, guest rooms, fireplaces, and why Patrik can never seem to escape Pol—even when he tries.
The conversation quickly turns romantic as we revisit one of the most important moments of our lives: Pol’s unforgettable proposal to Patrik. What began as plans for a private-jet engagement to Hawaii turned into something even more extravagant when production couldn’t secure the permits in time. Refusing to stage a fake television moment, Pol made a phone call that resulted in one of Beverly Hills’ most iconic streets shutting down. We relive the incredible story of closing Rodeo Drive, gathering dozens of friends at Cartier, and orchestrating a surprise proposal complete with diamonds, luxury shopping, Louis Vuitton bags, and SnowWhite90210 in attendance.
As we walk through the emotional details, we share the hilariously unfiltered hot-mic moment when Patrik, stunned by the size of the ring, leaned down and asked Pol if he had sold one of the houses to pay for it. Beyond the glamour and extravagance, the conversation becomes a touching reflection on love, commitment, and the once-in-a-lifetime moments that define a relationship.
From there, Sky opens up about how she found herself cast on Valley Persian Style. Contrary to what many viewers assumed, she reveals that she barely knew most of the cast members before filming and was introduced to the production team through her friendship with Tanin. Sky explains that while she had briefly crossed paths with Golnesa “GG” Gharachedaghi years earlier, she had no real friendships with Shahs of Sunset veterans like Mercedes “MJ” Javid, Reza Farahan, Tommy Feight, or Adam Neely before stepping into the spotlight.
As first-time reality stars ourselves, we ask Sky what it was like to suddenly expose her private life to cameras. She admits that despite being an open person, she has always fiercely protected her family, her children, and her inner circle. Sky shares that appearing on television forced her to confront emotions and insecurities she had spent years avoiding, ultimately teaching her lessons she hopes to pass on to her children.
The conversation becomes even more candid as we discuss the darker side of reality television. Sky reflects on the toxicity of season one and admits that what began as entertainment eventually became deeply personal. She reveals that she struggled with how quickly friendships unraveled, how cast members continued discussing her on podcasts and in interviews, and how painful it was to feel targeted by people she once trusted. Despite everything, Sky insists that she has no regrets because the experience forced her to grow and better understand herself.
We also explore the unique pressures of ensemble reality television and whether drama is organic or strategically amplified for the cameras. Sky explains that while she believes emotions are real, conflicts often become magnified once filming begins. She opens up about the tension between authenticity and performance and admits that there were moments she refused to recreate scenes because the emotions behind them were simply too raw.
As parents and public figures, we dive into the importance of protecting children from fame and preserving some sense of normalcy. Sky explains why she intentionally limits her children’s involvement on the show and how carefully she navigates balancing public life with private life.
Of course, no conversation would be complete without addressing one of the season’s most controversial moments: the infamous dog-oil incident. Sky finally tells her side of the story, insisting that rubbing skincare oil onto her beloved dogs was never intended as an insult but as a compliment to the product itself. She reveals that producers left out crucial details from the scene, including her questions about preservatives, ingredients, and shelf life—questions she believes would have completely changed viewers’ perception of the situation.
Sky also reveals that many of her favorite moments never made the final cut, including a visit to Warner Bros. with producer Ali Afshar to discuss incorporating pieces from her jewelry collection into future film projects. Moments like those, she says, better reflect who she truly is beyond the drama audiences see on television.
As our conversation comes to a close, Sky looks ahead to season two with a completely different perspective. While she admits that she initially considered walking away, she ultimately chose to return stronger, wiser, and more confident. This time, she says, she is no longer interested in over-explaining herself or proving anything to anyone. Instead, she plans to stand her ground, represent her family and culture proudly, and let her actions speak for themselves.
From separate bedrooms and spectacular proposals to reality-TV betrayals, family values, luxury lifestyles, and Hollywood politics, Part 2 of our conversation with Sky Askari proves that there is always far more happening behind the scenes than viewers ever imagine.
