My Take
I have a real soft spot for artists who refuse to stay in one lane, and Deepa Sahi is exactly that. Known first as Maya in 1993's Maya Memsaab, she later stepped behind the camera to direct Tere Mere Phere in 2011. What interests me is the arc from performer to author: someone who has stood in front of the lens often brings a rare empathy to directing it. I suspect her years as an actress shaped how she frames people and silence. She strikes me as a quietly ambitious creator who wanted ownership of her stories, and I respect that instinct deeply.
