Nandita Das has acted in more than 40 feature films in 10 different languages. Her directorial debut in 2008 was Firaaq, which won many accolades and appreciation, both in India and abroad. She was on the jury of the Cannes Film Festival twice (2005 and 2013), among others. Nandita also wrote, directed and acted in the play, Between the Lines, in 2012, that dealt with the subtle gender inequalities that exist amongst the affluent, educated and urban couples.
She has a master's degree in Social Work and has worked with various NGOs before films gave her an opportunity to expand her role as a social advocate. Nandita continues to remain a strong voice for issues of social justice and human rights. She has been invited to speak at reputed events and social forums all over the world. She was the President of the jury for the 2018 edition of the UNESCO-Madanjeet Prize for the Promotion of Tolerance and Non-Violence.
Nandita was the Chairperson of the Children's Film Society and wrote a monthly column for 8 years in the Indian magazine, The Week. She was conferred the 'Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters' by the French Government and was the first Indian to be inducted into the Hall of Fame at the International Women's Forum. She was nominated, in 2010, by the World Economic Forum to be a Youth Global Leader. Nandita Das was among the 16 emerging global leaders, chosen from close to 4000 applicants, to be a Yale World Fellow in 2014. She has been the face of the colour bias campaign called, 'Dark Is Beautiful', and recently, 'India's Got Colour'.
Nandita's second directorial venture, Manto, based on the life and works of the short story writer, Saadat Hasan Manto, premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in 2018. It was the only official Indian film to be selected. It then travelled to various festivals around the world. Nandita also screened the film and shared the journey of making it at top US universities including Stanford, Yale, Harvard, MIT and Columbia. Manto continues to stream on Netflix.
