A heartfelt post from our
Thank you

“ 🙏🏾 (too bad insta only lets you share 10 pictures in one post)

Feeling overwhelmed and extremely emotional today … ♥️♥️
Got my from various across India today and it puts things into perspective …
It’s different getting an email notification or getting a digital certificate about your winning but nothing beats the feeling of holding these trophies in your hand! 🥰🥰
Emotional today because who would have thought a simple girl from a simple family with no background in films would be able to gather all the love we have been receiving and that too for films that are to speak about in our society. 🥺🥺
60+ awards later for I just want to take a minute to the and express my for everything coming my way. I have found myself constantly questioning whether I deserve this or not and all this just reinforces that I do! 🙏🏾🙏🏾
A huge thank you to every single person who has been involved directly or indirectly in this journey so far. I’m finding myself extremely motivated for my next and can’t wait to share it with the world! ☺️☺️
End note: it’s never too late to pursue your passion & dreams, even if you are constantly questioning yourself ✨✨✨

Thank you Abhishek for representing at all these film festivals and thank you Manish for bringing them from India 🥰🙏🏾🥰”

All of us at Take A Stand Films are heartbroken today. 💔

With heavy hearts, we share the passing of our brilliant writer of our , Mayank Saxena.

Mayank was a cherished member of our Take A Stand Films family. Our thoughts and prayers are with his loved ones. Mayank you will always hold a special place in our hearts. 💕

In the Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna speaks about the nature of the soul and death in Chapter 2, Verse 20:

“na jāyate mriyate vā kadācin
nāyaṁ bhūtvā bhavitā vā na bhūyaḥ
ajo nityaḥ śāśvato ‘yaṁ purāṇo
na hanyate hanyamāne śarīre”

Translation:
“For the soul there is neither birth nor death at any time. He has not come into being, does not come into being, and will not come into being. He is unborn, eternal, ever-existing, and primeval. He is not slain when the body is slain.”
