"Since my documentary is all about questioning home and the absence of roots nothing gives me more joy than bringing it to sweet home Mumbai on a platform like MAMI. With a wonderful curation of films and an incredible audience and ambience, there is nothing more a filmmaker needs. I am proud to have my Asia Premiere here at home," she added.
