Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari, a multi-talented personality who has worn many hats including director, producer, writer, and author, gets nostalgic and takes a trip down memory lane as her debut film as a director marks 6 years today.
Ashwiny is from a working-class family and previously worked in the advertising industry before deciding to pursue her passion and love for cinema. She made her debut with Nil Battey Sannata six years ago, and today is one of the most important dates in her career, one she will remember for the rest of her life. The film was well-received by both audiences and critics, and Ashwiny received numerous awards at the country's most prestigious award ceremonies.
Today, Aswhiny took to social media and penned a heartfelt note, which she shared with her social media family, as she reflects on her journey thus far. The director penned, "In 2014 I made a small ad film for Sony KBC called "Mubarak ho ladki hui hai" This story came up right after that. I left my comfortable highly paying, globe-trotting Advertising job to make this story I believed in. Survived on my PF / Gratuity and savings. Not an easy decision when you are top of your game from a working-class family, heading an agency, and leaving everything to start from the beginning. But I had to fearlessly follow my passion with the over a decade of experience I carried along with me. 6 years of #nilbatteysannata Thank you for unconditional love even today. Thank you for making me believe that telling stories that matter does impact lives.Than-you for the encouragement & for accepting me as a storyteller & constantly believing in me. No matter who you are or where you come from, you have the right to dream. For many more stories to tell. I am because of you. Gratitude #fortheloveofcinema #makeyourownpath #stayrooted #mindfulnessmatters"
It is a big and difficult step to change careers when you are at the pinnacle of one, but your passion will drive you to achieve your goals, and Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari's inspiring journey is one such example in front of us.
The director recently completed the shoot for her web series Faadu, which was shot during the third wave and whose completion appears to be an accomplishment given the challenges that arose during the shoots as a result of the pandemic. Aside from that, Ashwiny is co-producing Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor's Bawaal. She is also co-producing Tarla and working on Mr. & Mrs. Murthy.
