@Read_Across Thanks a lot!

[Deepika Singh @DeepikaLeo]

Wrote a little something about a film from @DharmaMovies stable that left me pleasantly surprised and deeply moved this year. Read maybe?

@IamOnir Thank YOU for this wonderful, moving and honest film that has also aged so well. Congratulations on 20 years of My Brother Nikhil!

[Deepika Singh @DeepikaLeo]

@sanjaysuri It's an unforgettable film, sir. And after a re-watch, I would say something that has also aged so well. You were the perfect Nikhil. Congratulations for two decades of this gem of a movie that I am sure you must be extremely proud of. ☺️

There is more! Maybe not all RWA groups are a total cesspit after all. Love love love ❤️

This message in WA group of a loved one's society made my day. What made it special is this person is not even a dog feeder being targeted in preceding messages. Turns out, you don't have to be personally involved in something to say the right thing. Who could've thought!!

Amid meltdown over social media success stories, I bat for the likes of #dollychaiwalla & #therebelkid in my latest opinion piece. Social media-earned fame & success is as valid as one earned by fancy degrees. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

@ranjibk @AbhayDeol @Ayeshatakia @1mti4z_ali Thanks a lot, sir!

[Deepika Singh @DeepikaLeo]

I write perhaps the most charitable review of #nadaaniyan . But frankly, just my ode to Socha Na Tha, the sweetest film ever that turned 20 this month but feels just as refreshing as ever.

#ExpressOpinion | Policing ‘live-in’ relationships will not end intimate partner violence

@DeepikaLeo writes

[Deepika Singh @DeepikaLeo]

"The need of the hour is not to police love, infantalise consenting adults, and give sanctimonious religious leaders and pesky landlords more power. Instead, we need to make cohabitation – marriage or live-in – safer for women."
I wrote.

“As someone who is not conventionally attractive, parlours mostly made me feel inadequate.”

Interesting @IndianExpress piece by @DeepikaLeo on going “salon-free.” I too often felt triggered at salons, designers, clothing stores—much of it resonated w/ me.

@ChawlaSwati @IndianExpress Thank you, Swati. I am glad to know you could relate with it. 🤗🫰

[Deepika Singh @DeepikaLeo]

Wrote something about the absolutely magical night that was the @prateekkuhad concert sometime last month in Gurgaon. Read maybe? 😌🫰

Pollution has not left any aspect of Delhi untouched, so how can heritage walks, a unique feature of Capital, be left behind? Read my story to find out how the smog has played a spoilsport this time and how our popular heritage walk leaders are coping.

Had to write about this unique festival that espouses a cause I deeply care about: Communal harmony. "Phoolwalon ki sair" , yet another reason to love Delhi 🧡
