This film holds a special place in my heart, not only because it’s my directorial debut, but also because it addresses a subject very close to my heart—women’s empowerment. The light-hearted, comical narrative highlights the everyday struggles, triumphs, and diverse experiences of middle-class women.

Collaborating with Applause Entertainment and Ellipsis Entertainment has been invaluable, and I am thrilled that the film will premiere on Prime Video, reaching audiences worldwide. I believe this authentic slice-of-life narrative has the potential to resonate globally, and I eagerly await the audience’s response.”
Sakshi Tanwar, portraying Jyoti Sharma, shared her thoughts on the film, “When I first read the script, it stirred a multitude of emotions within me. From moments of helplessness and sadness to bursts of pride and joy, this movie truly resonated with me as a celebration of modern, new-age women. ‘Sharmajee Ki Beti’ is a powerful call for women to stand tall and be proud of who we are and what we can achieve. My character, Jyoti, mirrors the lives of millions of women around the world, striving to balance societal expectations with their dreams and aspirations. Despite having a wonderfully supportive partner who believes in her dreams, she struggles with the tantrums and expectations of her teenage daughter. I believe audiences, not just women, worldwide will love the humorous and relatable take on important issues like gender roles, relationships, and personal identity.
. The sensitive portrayal of these themes will strike a chord with everyone.”
The trailer of “Sharmajee Ki Beti” promises a rollercoaster of emotions and laughter, immersing viewers into the lives of three remarkable women, all sharing the surname ‘Sharma’, each navigating their own unique challenges.
Divya Dutta, who plays Kiran Sharma, added, “I feel ‘Sharmajee Ki Beti’ offers a refreshing narrative that focuses on the intricacies of everyday life and relationships from the perspective of women from different generations, each with unique personalities and outlooks. When I read the script, I fell in love with my character, Kiran, and the beautiful vulnerability it had. Kiran appears flighty by nature but has an undercurrent of strong emotions due to her personal circumstances. Portraying Kiran allowed me to explore new facets of my acting abilities that I hadn’t tapped into before. Tahira’s vision for this film was both clear and inspiring; it was truly fascinating to work with her and bring this story to life.”
Saiyami Kher, who portrays Tanvi, shared her enthusiasm, “Sharmajee Ki Beti has been a very special journey. When Tahira narrated the film to me, I instantly loved it. It was such a fresh, feel-good feeling after the narration. Tanvi’s role was a liberating reminder that everyone must follow their dreams and passions and not get bogged down by societal pressure. Through Tanvi’s story, the film highlights how many of us navigate similar struggles, constantly balancing personal aspirations with societal expectations. It’s a relatable narrative for anyone who’s ever felt torn between obligation and dreams, encouraging viewers to find their own path to fulfillment. I’m confident that this heartfelt story will resonate deeply with everyone who watches it on Prime Video, in India and over 200 countries and territories.”
