Maanvi Gagroo says she stayed away from films for years due to poor representation of women in scripts. She was drawn to Heer Sara Aur Pondicherry because of its authentic female perspective and collaborated with director Kartik Chaudhry to add realistic details from women’s experiences

Maanvi Gagroo has stayed away from films for nearly seven years because she refused to compromise and be part of stories that don’t do justice to female characters. “Often, I got excited by the one-line idea of a story, but when I got the script and read the dialogues, I felt they were written by men because [they didn’t seem] to even understand how women talk. Women often get misrepresented in shows and movies,” she shares.
