Sanya Malhotra on tackling the perceptions of widowhood in her recent Netflix release Pagglait
Somya Mehta/Dubai Filed on April 8, 2021
The recent Netflix release Pagglait has received a critical nod and is a story of a widow who s unable to shed tears for her husband s demise

This isn’t a characteristic, and it isn’t breaking the stereotype. The writer and director, here, didn’t want to show ‘a new face’ of a widow.
