Nandita Das, needs no introduction. From advocating against gender insensitivity to colour discrimination, the actress has proven herself in various capacities. Best known for her performance in ‘1947 Earth’ alongside Aamir Khan, Nandita has been an integral part of the feature film scenario in India.
Admired for her unconventionality, Nandita has never been shy in standing up for what she believes in. Be it campaigning against AIDS and or playing Shabana Azmi’s lover in ‘Fire’.
A true rebel in a world full of stereotypes, Nandita is a beacon of inspiration. Here are quotes that say exactly the same.
1. Woman with a mission
2. “And it has to stop”
3. On her latest film, a biopoic on Saadat Hasan Manto
4. Once a theatre artist, always a theatre artist
5. She is all for women empowerment
6. Collective responsibility. Yours and mine
7. Moral obligation before individual interest
8. No wonder, she is a brilliant actress
9. Dark and unapologetic!
10. “Stay you”
11. Bollywood should take cue
Countless little girls look up to you, Nandita. Thank you, for teaching them how to appreciate themselves. Thank you, for being you!
