“as an enthusiastic self learner, i started with my learning in the Bollywood Film industry by working as an assistant choreographer and then as a choreographer in the Bollywood and South Indian Film Industry. Never having received any formal education in filmmaking, i continued to pursue my passion by inculcating the experiences of my little time in the film industry; i directed and wrote my first short film, Shark's Buffet. the 'breathing' of objects around us, the 'life' of inanimate objects have always fascinated me. the camera never ceases to amaze me. i love the world, a film creates and I almost always operate through this world. my professional training in the Indian Classical Dance form- Kathak, has influenced my understandings and perspectives of human emotions. My graduate school majors in Sociology , developed my critical thinking, which helps me to look at the world that we all know, through a different lens. as a filmmaker, i wish to tell stories, for what they are and create magic. ”
