Then there’s Zoya Akhtar.

Gauri Shinde is another star writer.
Her movies “English Vinglish” and “Dear Zindagi” tell stories that feel like our own lives. She talks about finding ourselves and growing, which makes her stories relatable and deep.
Kanika Dhillon is different.
She writes stories that challenge the rules. Her movies like “Manmarziyaan,” “Kedarnath,” and “Judgementall Hai Kya” talk about love, mental health, and things society doesn’t always talk about openly. She makes us think about things differently.
Anjum Rajabali is great at weaving stories with a mix of society and politics.
Her movies like “Ghulam,” “The Legend of Bhagat Singh,” and “Raajneeti” are like puzzles with lots of interesting pieces that fit together to show us bigger pictures.

UP Boards Topper Prachi Nigam was trolled on social media for her facial hair; our obsession with appearance is harsh on young minds.
Prachi Nigam’s photo has been doing the rounds on social media for the right reasons. Well, scratch that- I wish the above statement were true. This 15-year-old girl should ideally be revelling in her spectacular achievement of scoring a whopping 98.05% and topping her tenth-grade boards. But oddly enough, along with her marks, it’s something else that garners more attention – her facial hair.
While the trolls are driving themselves giddy by mocking this girl who hasn’t even completed her school yet, the ones who are taking her side are going one step ahead – they are sharing her photoshopped pictures, sans the facial hair, looking nothing less than a celebrity with captions saying – “Prachi Nigam, ten years later”.
Doctors have already diagnosed her with PCOD in their comments, based on photographic evidence. While we have names for people shamed for their weight – body shaming, for their skin colour- racism, for their age- age shaming, for being a female- sexism, this category of shaming where one faces criticism for their appearance has no name. With that, it also has zero shame attached to it.
