"kehte hain kisi cheez ko agar dil se chaho..." Months ago, I knew there was a book that I wanted to write. So happy to have been awarded the Film Ink fellowship by Film Companion Studios and A Suitable Agency for working on it. Looking forward to the next few months :) ❤️

I still can't believe Karan Johar made us believe that this was a house in Delhi AND walking distance from Chandni Chowk 😭

I haven't gotten any sleep and been up all night, yet I cannot get over these pictures. They're the most heartbreaking yet beautiful images of male friendship, intimacy, vulnerability, and bonding that I've seen in sports. What has made #Fedal so special? 🧵

Imagine a film with SRK and Tabu deeply flawed characters who have had their heart broken and meet by chance in a coastal town and fall in love, only to depart on their journeys again, but forever changed by the encounter...

It's amazing how #ShahRukhKhan 's very existence, and every small (meaningful) gesture continues to rattle so many bigots in this country.

The number of Indian celebs at Cannes red carpet grows every year, yet no one has come close to the aura SRK and Aish created together over two decades ago

Last night's screening of Joyland in Delhi was magical. People waiting in lines for a Pakistani film that so lyrically talks about patriarchy and the loneliness it breeds. People sitting on floors in awe, clapping and crying in unison. Through grief and borders, art finds a way.

In May, it will be 2 years since I lost my mother. It feels like it happened yday, but also years ago. For months, I asked the same question as Fleabag: what do I do? What do I do with all the love I have for her? That's when I found SRK's interviews on the loss of his parents.

Few things seemingly excite Niti Aayog as much as EVs and clean energy. It publishes a slew of reports, peppered with bullish numbers. But things get interesting when you realize over 70% of these reports have been co-authored by one particular US think tank: RMI. A thread 🧵

Saw it on the big screen for the first time when it re-released earlier this year. I'll never forget the image of an old Sikh uncle, who had come alone, sitting and weeping till the very end of the credits. They truly don't make movies like this anymore.

I don't think we as a society have still comprehended the amount of grief and heartbreak the months of April and May bring to millions of families in this world. These months will never be the same again after what we went through in the summer of 2020 and 2021.

19 years of Swades. A movie whose posters were as much a work of art as the film itself. #Swades
