However, she has not given up on her desire to travel in space. “I am studying astronomy and archaeology. In my spare time, I study planetary changes and constellations, as well as ancient history of art and artifacts. I am studying the subjects because I want to know more about the universe and the history of the world,” she says, smiling.

SEEMS like Pritish Nandy’s involvement in giving the junta ‘different’ cinema is finally paying off. The filmmaker is being awarded the Media Citizen Karamveer Puraskar Mainstream Filmmaker Award for outstanding contributions to films. The ‘Karamveer Puraskar’ is a national award for “social justice and citizen action”, which recognises individuals who have been instrumental in leading change. The awards are given to individuals from various sectors for their contribution in promoting social justice and action. The award is instituted by iCONGO, a confederation of NGOs, and the Khemka Foundation with partners like TISS, BCCI and NASSCOM. Also receiving the award will be actor Kajol.
