Aparna Sen has spent over 60 years in Indian cinema as an actress, director and cultural voice. But in this rare and deeply honest conversation, she says what she has never said before.
From doing films she hated just to raise her daughters, to  walking off a terrible Hindi film set that eventually inspired 36 Chowringhee Lane, to openly questioning why she should make films anymore when the audience has changed beyond recognition.
She talks about caste, identity, sexual harassment in the industry, political pressure, OTT platforms killing serious cinema and why no political party ever had the courage to approach her.
