It was my directorial debut which turned out to be a huge success. Today seeing it getting a huge recognition has put me into endless joy. It’s a wholesome feeling. The message of the short film ‘female foeticide”, was successfully delivered among the masses. When the script came to me, I felt I ought to do this, and that too by being a director.

My film has received various international awards but now that it got a special mention in the 69th National Awards, I am overwhelmed.”
