As a writer, director, and cinematographer, she wears multiple hats with finesse. Her passion lies in telling stories that spark dialogue, challenge societal perceptions, and showcase the often-unspoken layers of human emotion.

This 14-episode bilingual web series (Hindi & Bengali), directed, written, and shot by Anindgita herself, explores complex themes such as sexual violence, moral ambiguity, societal hypocrisy, and human emotion through a layered and satirical narrative.

Starring Urusha Pandey, Hema Shah, Ankush Tripathi, and Prithwijeet Seth, the series creatively uses dialogues and monologues to offer a rare look into characters’ internal struggles — something rarely seen in the Indian web series space.
