Jal is going to Busan Film Festival #love

Hi folks
The best way to start a new post is to start with news.
My beloved film Jal is selected for Busan Film Festival in South Korea. It's the biggest film festival of Asia and of cause I do feel proud and happy about it.

Here are the links

Our director Girish Malik has done a really great job. I feel proud that I have done a movie with film as an actress. His vision and the way how he "sees" a movie is fantastic. And apart of it it was the film where I really worked hard as you can imagine how the life in desert can be. It was tough for all of us I guess. And finally we have world premier in South Korea. Thats amazing.

As of now I think I won't be writing more. Let some more news come :-)

It will be a lot of critics to judge the movie, to judge me and everybody else. Who probably have not done much but they will assume they know it all. So to all those people I can say that it doesn't matter to me who thinks what or who did what and what the response will be. For me "Jal" is not a movie, it was a time frame that I lived in and whole our film crew. It was life in a desert and experience I have gone throw. And this experience and story we are sharing with the audience. Some people will like it and some won't, some will relate to it and some won't.

I am extremely excited about Busan Film Festival. As I said Jal is not a movie to me, it's something I gave all my feelings at that point of time. The way how Girish and me met in London, how we sign and how he believed and how it changed my destiny and made me come back to India ... the country I love the most.

I will be always thankful to Girish Malik that he happened to be...

Mumbai after "Jal" (shoot in desert). Part 1

Hi folks

It's been ages since my last entry. I know. I have been in Gujarat in Kutch for last 40 days. Shooting for movie "Jal". Rann of Kutch....indian desert. I know it must be very interesting to know how it was and etc etc but I feel like keeping it simple and just post "no comments". I think it's the best. LOL.

Kutch is beautiful....Rann of Kutch....desert. A great place to visit for a few days. I have been living there for 40 days and had to forget what 21st century is about. LOL. Still recovering. It's been tough if to say it in simple language. Movie is going amazing so far. It's always a pleasure to work with Girish Malik. I like the way he directs and "sees" the movie. "Jal" is our first project together and I believe we have a long way to go professionally. He is fantastic person to work with and I am happy that my first movie as a main lead happen to be exactly with Girish Malik. We have so many interesting people in our film. I can't mention all of them as its nearly hundred. LOL. But with whom I had really good working experience are Tannishtha Chatterjee, Purab Kohli, Yashpal Sharma and Gary Richardson.

We did a play with Gary before so it's like we knew each other. But I was really glad to work with Purab, Yashpal and Tannishtha. Some of them really helped on professional front.

It's just so many things happening in my life as well and tonight i am leaving to Europe for 2 weeks and to Moscow for a wedding. Very excited about it :-) Will write soon. Now my mind is quite disturb with thousand of things.

Love to All
