I don’t even know where to begin..
A film that came my way in the most unexpected way at an unexpected time, a film that tested my physical, mental and emotional endurance in a way nothing ever has, a film where I got to collaborate with some of the most talented artists, not to mention some of my favourites.
You have artistically spoilt me @ranjithpa @the_real_chiyaan & the rest of the team, and set the bar too high. Who will match this now 😭😅
It’s finally a film wrap and I’m going to wallow in existential crisis for a few days.
If blood, sweat & tears was a film, this literally would be it.

Got to experience the lushness of the Kerala monsoon for this first time this year and boy, was my body in need of a break after the last few weeks of shoot.
The mist, the sound of rain & these breathtaking views did me some good ♥️
Thank you @windermereretreats for the green, the yum food & the warm hospitality. Can’t wait to be back. Watching the mist slowly drift in through the open window of my room was my favourite part 💕(!!)

Madurai and its sky : A love affair 💕
(No.4 is a time-lapse taken post our shoot one evening when the sky was romancing a gorgeous incessant thunderstorm against the backdrop of the most magnificent rocks♥️)

In in a very rainy mumbai at the moment, and reminiscing about this lovely afternoon I spent in the High Atlas hills of Morocco. There was brisk mountain air, the most orangey oranges I’ve seen & the cutest little doggo for company 🐶 As you can evidently guess, it was a good day ♥️
Also, wearing the cutest little top by @springorigin which designs the cutest stuff everrrrr
How you do this @apurvanayal howw 🤍

Every episode of Maitri is both a revelation and a reiteration that consistent conversations backed by relentless action are needed to keep chipping away at the change we all want to see and bring about.
@malavikamohanan_’s gradual discovery of the only path that makes sense for anyone seeking longevity, @aishwaryarajessh’s stepping into the shoes of the “hero”, @madhoo_rockstar’s refusal to settle for less, @aparnapurohit’s resolve to see more women on screen, #reshmaghatala @whatiswat forming their own company @liontoothsocial to enable stories they believe in and are the centre of and @yamini.yagnamurthy’s unfiltered voice and gritty spirit to compete without concessions are the tip of the iceberg.
We spoke.
We shared.
We got to a place where all restraint was put aside. Thank you for sharing with such passion and candour. I always come away more determined and inspired.
This is a snippet.
Please make time for the longer conversation (link in bio) but a lot of our session will not be released for public consumption 🙂 Those parts of Maitri sessions will convert to action and lasting bonds that will work as balm on years of normalised injury.
