A still from Lipstick Under My Burkha
Looking back at the ordeal you went through, what trends do you feel have emerged that will continue to affect other filmmakers?
There is a deep and systematic discrimination vis à vis the rights of women to be able to express themselves. I will continue to call the Censor Board out on the hypocrisy of censorship in India. You can't have double standards for the content created by the male gaze for the fulfillment of male desire and discriminate against alternative points of view.
