Television actress Kanika Maheshwari who rose to
fame with her role in the hit show Diya Aur Baati Hum recently made her debut
as a writer- producer with her short film Forever Whim. The movie revolving
around a mother-daughter relationship after the former has been detected with
cancer won an award at the Melbourne City Independent Film Awards & we hear
now stands a nomination at the Chicago South Asian Film Festival to be held
next week on the 20th of September.
Kanika with a career spanning over a decade &
a variety of shows to her credit went on a brief sabbatical to embrace
motherhood & she is making a comeback with her short film starring herself
that has been sent to film festivals worldwide & will be released in India
in the next couple of months.
An excited Kanika shares, 'I didn't see this
coming. I'm ecstatic to get an official entry in the nominations. I just learnt
that my movie has been lined up for the premier slot & will be screened at
the Oakbrook auditorium, which is a mean
achievement for any film maker.'
'The festival manager, Jigar Shah sent across the
flyer & I got so excited with my name alongside some bigwigs of short film
makers, he also watched my film & sent me a message on how touched he was.
All one aspiring film maker needs it acknowledgement & appreciation. They
have extended the invite & I can't wait to touchdown Chicago & to see the reaction of the audience in real
time.'
