Happy Happy Birthday #naseeruddinshah !! May you continue to be the great actor and the fearlessly honest person you are. Wishing you all that you wish for. Fortunate to have known you for the last so many years and the opportunity of directing you in #firaaq Sadly couldn’t find any of our other photos on my phone, so for now sharing the one from the sets in 2007.
Thank you, @filmfare for this honour and to @venuudugulafilm for thinking of me for the role of the teacher in Virata Parvam. I acted in a Telugu film after almost 20 years. The last one was Kamli. While this was just a guest appearance, I enjoyed the experience, despite the struggle with the language. A big thank you to @saipallavi.senthamarai for being such a wonderful co-star on and off camera. Sai, you are such an authentic person and an incredible actor. You so deserve the ‘Filmfare Critics Award for Best Actress – Telugu’ for the film. Many congratulations! And thank you @ranadaggubati for acting and producing a film that has a major female star in the lead. Not many actors would do that when the protagonist is a woman. Congratulations to you and the entire team of the film. #filmfare @jiteshpillaai #virataparvam #telugufilm

Happy Birthday @rahulbose7 We have known each other for more than two decades. Through 3 films – Ek din, 24 Ghante, Bits and Pieces (never got released!) and Before the Rains and many occasions when we bumped into each other. Though neither have happened in a while now. Time to meet intentionally and reminisce, my friend. May you continue to act, direct, play and do all the good things you do. These are what I found of our time together. If you have more, do send. Have a super super fun day!

Many happy returns of the day, Adoor sir! I grew up watching many of your films that had a deep impact on me. And as you are a close friend of my father’s, we have met over the years. Then I got lucky to work with you in 2006. More so, as I know you almost never take non-Malayali actors! Hope we will meet and work together soon. I am happy to struggle with my Malayalam again! #adoorgopalakrishnan #naalupennungal (Four Women) #malayalamcinema

From my son’s school! Being in nature fosters learning that is so precious. I would have loved to share images of children, studying under trees and in open spaces, walking through puddles and grass with umbrellas, swinging from trees and chatting by a small pond, crouching down to look at snails and centipedes, playing football in the rains… and more. But I need to be mindful of their privacy. I come here every month, to take classes, have engaging conversations with students and teachers, soak in the beauty of nature (monsoons are extra special), breathe clean air…and more. Sometimes people ask me disapprovingly, why have you sent him to a boarding school? It’s not a punishment, but a gift that I think will have a deep impact on the person he becomes, and the choices he makes in life. As parents, all we can give our children is a nurturing environment to grow, to learn, to experience. #sahyadrischool #nature #education #learning #school
While I furiously work on my script, someone takes a long snooze. I want to be Ms. Miso in my next life…if there is one. #cat
Sad. What we have done to our shores…our mangroves. Right in the middle of the city of #mumbai . In one of the coolest areas – #bandrawest We are all complicit. More consumption, more wastage, more abuse of nature. We all pass by it, turning a blind eye. What to do? We can at least make small changes in our life to be more mindful.
Thoroughly enjoyed watching @fairy_folk_thefilm An original story, uniquely told. Performances are brilliant. if you want to see something that’s actually different, watch this film. Always rooting for truly independent films, which are these days a rarity. Do watch, do support. @rasikadugal @mukulchadda @kar_gour_ #indiefilm
