Mumbai, Sep 6 (NationPress) Tahira Kashyap has made her mark with her directorial debut, 'Sharmajee Ki Beti', which recently clinched the Best Asian Feature Film Award (Gold belt) at the Content Asia Awards 2025. The filmmaker expressed immense gratitude, stating that the film represents a deeply personal journey for her.

Tahira shared, “Winning the Best Asian Feature Film Award at the Content Asia Awards, 2025 is a significant honor. This recognition transcends mere accolades; it validates the narratives we strive to highlight.”

She continued, “Knowing that Sharmajee Ki Beti has resonated with audiences across Asia fills me with pride. This film is a personal odyssey for me, and I am genuinely thankful for the connections it has fostered.”

This isn’t the only accolade for Tahira’s cinematic work; Sharmajee Ki Beti has previously secured three awards in the Silver belt category at the Exchange 4 Media Awards.

Released in 2024, this comedy-drama film, written and directed by Tahira Kashyap, features a talented cast including Sakshi Tanwar, Divya Dutta, Saiyami Kher, Parvin Dabas, and Sharib Hashmi.

The narrative centers on three women navigating personal hurdles that impact their relationships and everyday lives. Their intertwined journeys illuminate the challenge of balancing individual aspirations with familial obligations.

In a different vein, Tahira recently shared a reflective piece on social media. In an Instagram post, she explored the intricate layers of identity that women embody. Through her poetic and heartfelt message,

Tahira raised the timeless question, “Who am I?” a query often encountered in therapy or during profound self-reflection. From her roles as a mother, wife, daughter, and sister to being a cancer survivor and creative professional, Kashyap emphasized how simple it is to be labeled yet challenging to exist within those definitions.

Accompanying her video, Tahira expressed, “Who are you today? What do you perceive? (P.s- inspiration for this piece lies in my last post, and you’ll see what I observed and how) #StoriesInMyHead.” In the clip, she states, “Who am I? A significant question often posed before therapy or while genuinely contemplating life.”

“A mother, wife, daughter, sister, professional, homemaker, cancer survivor. It’s so easy to be categorized, yet so hard to be confined. Our potential is enormous and enchanting, often limited by our own whimsical restrictions.”

“It’s time for me to transcend and embrace the other. To shine alongside the luminous moon. I welcome love from all directions, even from a flower vendor under the midday sun. I find joy in mocha and cheesecake. I embody the vibrancy that yoga brings to my health. I am the blossom, whether it’s the cherry blossom in Japan or a twin in another metropolis.”

“I’m the line you’ve marked multiple times in a book because you wish to learn and not merely because I’m attractive. I am so much more if I permit myself to be. The question of Who am I? should be frequently asked, for it allows me to appreciate what others might never perceive.”
