Biography


She is a graduate from AJK, Mass Communication Research Centre


She worked as an editor and correspondent for video news magazines Newstrack and Eyewitness before she decided to study at Film and Television Institute of India, specializing in film direction.[1] Together with Smriti Nevatia Jain created an independent documentary outfit Raintree Films based in Mumbai.


Her films have received several international awards and have been extensively shown in international film festivals, broadcast on international TV networks and regularly shown in schools and colleges in India and abroad.[2]. She has been seen as a champion of the #MeToo movement in India, having accused her batchmate and filmmaker Arghya Basu of harassing her in late 2017. In march 2019, Arghya Basu was found hanging in his apartment. An investigation is said to have been initiated by local officials into the matter, with friends mourning Arghya's death and seeking inquiry into the case.
