In India, we don’t give enough credit or appreciation to directors that’s why not many youngsters want to be writers/directors. Everyone who wants a career in films meets me for guidance, wants to be either an actor or a superstar. Who will make movies if all become actors! Socho! (Think).”

She further added, “So please learn the names of all good directors, who do so much to entertain and engage you and please follow them also. Learn about their lives and process as well. Please appreciate them and encourage them too. “Dear @amarkaushik sir, thank you for this much-needed all-time blockbuster.”
