Current Projects
Here’s what’s keeping me busy
Having a go-getter's attitude right from high school in a patriarchal society that preferred men above women was beneficial in kickstarting my career as a filmmaker in Mumbai after I'd decided to move from Delhi in the early 90s. Work almost became an addiction for me. I was 'hustling', as millennials would call it in this day and age. Projects and ideas of all kinds, shapes, and sizes have always kept me going even during lean periods (that every freelancer experiences from time to time) but they introduced me to incredible people around the world teaching me invaluable lessons along the way. Here's what I'm currently working on.
