Ritu Arya Instagram – Nida, since the first time we worked together in the lady parts short I knew it was the start of something bigger than me. I felt like I met my soul sister, the stars aligned and the world was gonna change. Reading your work I finally felt seen and could see south Asian representation changing to a more realised, truthful, epic, strong, flawed encapsulation of the human condition in all its glory and messiness. Your voice is unique, brave and honest. You are an INCREDIBLE director. And also a beautifully caring soul and yes I’m gushing and no I don’t care because thank you universe for nida manzoor.
