I was journaling yesterday (yes, I used the same journal from 2011, the year before Gangs of Wasseypur was released, which put me on the map), and as you can see, one of my dreams... is recorded in the list. To convince Sanjay Bhansali to cast me. What a year it has been, from performing as Lajjo with the maestro and checking that off my dream list... to welcoming a beautiful daughter and our first film as producers! @girlswillbegirls_themovie!!!”
“I’m thrilled to have been nominated, but never in my wildest dreams did I think our little indie would be recognized alongside my acting... this signifies our film has surpassed the (not real) barriers of arthouse and made it to @IIFA nominations! For that, I am grateful to @primevideoin
Thank you, @iifa @bhansaliproductions. Congratulations #ShuchiTalati, she’s not on Instagram, folks. Congratulations, @preetiwooman, keep moving forward! I’m so proud of you!
