Directed by Ashvin Kumar who also features in the film, No Fathers In Kashmir is a love story set in the backdrop of Kashmir where two 16-year-olds are in search of their missing fathers and stumble upon a dark secret in the process. Soni essays the role of a Kashmiri mother whose only son is picked up by the armed forces and disappears thereafter.

Actors Kalki Koechlin, Jim Sarbh and Swara Bhaskar were also spotted at the special screening. Check out the pictures here:

Explaining what drew her to the film, Soni had earlier said, “When Ashvin first sent me the script, I was immediately drawn to the compelling story he had. And it’s so refreshing to see a filmmaker who’s writing a story about Kashmir that isn’t just a love story or some kind of action drama. This is a film which speaks the truth and shows the reality. Being half Kashmiri, it’s always special for me to shoot in The Valley and to be there with the locals. They’re all very warm people who are very hospitable and genteel, and always welcome everyone with an open heart.”
