I never thought of it that way. In fact I have rejected more work than I have accepted. The problem is that there are very few stories focusing on women characters in the country. Whenever such a story comes up, he says, no, there is no idea for such stories. No one wants to see them. Yet there is a story, a journey, a beauty for every age. No such story is being written here. A woman is either a lover or a mother. Does a woman have no role other than being a mother or a sister-in-law? A woman has her own identity, maturity, but no story is written keeping this in mind. However things are changing. Many new ones are doing well. So I didn’t hesitate to say ‘yes’ to Shockey for Karagar.
