She went on to\u00a0direct short films &#8220;The Foreigner&#8221; for RGV short film channel RGV talkies and\u00a0&#8220;Papa&#8221; that is streaming on Hotstar+Disney.<\/p>\n<p>Un.suitables is Taruna&#8217;s third independent short film project as a Writer- Director. &#8220;Watching and making films is the only language I know to express myself,&#8221; says Taruna. &#8220;I can go without food and sleep, but not without films,&#8221; she laughs.<\/p>\n<p>Between making films, Taruna works on ad films and as a lyricist has written &#8220;Pyar ki Kahani&#8221; for the film Beautiful (Ode to Rangeela), released on Zee Music.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4492\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4492\" style=\"width: 185px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4492\" src=\"https:\/\/globalindianstories.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Director-Taruna-Khanagwal-199x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"185\" height=\"278\" srcset=\"https:\/\/globalindianstories.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Director-Taruna-Khanagwal-199x300.jpg 199w, https:\/\/globalindianstories.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Director-Taruna-Khanagwal-768x1160.jpg 768w, https:\/\/globalindianstories.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Director-Taruna-Khanagwal-678x1024.jpg 678w, https:\/\/globalindianstories.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Director-Taruna-Khanagwal-278x420.jpg 278w, https:\/\/globalindianstories.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Director-Taruna-Khanagwal-640x966.jpg 640w, https:\/\/globalindianstories.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Director-Taruna-Khanagwal.jpg 1151w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 185px) 100vw, 185px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4492\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Director Taruna Khanagwal<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Taruna is elated to be a part of KASHISH 2020. &#8220;It&#8217;s an incredible feeling for me. KASHISH is the most prestigious and inspiring film festival for the LGBTQIA community, and getting the Official Selection for the film festival is a big opportunity for me and my team to spread the word, share our thoughts and the perspective that love has no language, no religion, no restrictions, no boundaries we need to think above that.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So how has this platform been helping the LGBTQ film narratives in its outreach globally?<\/p>\n<p>Taruna feels that KASHISH has been the prominent platform to give voice to Indian LGBTQ community. By presenting the Indian LGBTQ community globally, the festival has inspired individuals to be more open minded, understanding and kind towards different cultures and the narration of their unique challenges.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Birth of Un.Suitables<\/h4>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The issue of homosexuality was something that Taruna was interested in always and she took it up without a thought the day she got an offer to make it. &#8220;Shaping the story with my actor Akshay Saraswat (Karthik in film) was very challenging and interesting for both of us, as we spend long hours for days to lock the final story. It was a contradictory and interesting journey for both of us. Then I went ahead to write the Screenplay and Dialogues so that we could hit the floor to shoot.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The project had its challenges as it went on hold for a few months, when one of the actors stepped back and we had to wait till Akshay Raj Jawrani (final Imran character) was signed in.<\/p>\n<p>Dealing with two sensitive issues of\u00a0religion and sexuality was not easy either. &#8220;The disturbance that the world faced in the past or is facing today has a lot to do with religious fundamentalism. Religion is a strong fabric of any society. Look around and observe, almost every mind is influenced by their religious belief. I believe religion was created to unite us, to unite humanity, to rise in love. Unfortunately, it is doing clearly the opposite. Instead of celebrating love and embracing our unique differences, we hate each other and kill each other,&#8221; says Taruna.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When I thought of portraying challenges faced by LGBTQ community, discussing religious fundamentalism came naturally. People are being killed by religious fanatics just because they love the person of the same sex. This is real. It is happening in real time with real people and the issue needs to be discussed in much depth and details.<\/p>\n<h4>A must-watch for everyone<\/h4>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The film has been made not just for the LGBTQA+ community, but for everyone. The journey of the young lovers tells us that often people are forced to find a corner to live their lives, just to save themselves from homophobic prejudice. &#8220;We need to educate our society by using different means so that one day things will be fine or\u00a0at least normal for them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The message I wanted to share through my film is very simple &#8220;Live and let others live&#8221; Why do people still have to fight for their rights, to live freely, to say what they want? The sad part of the world is that we have become so selfish that we deny to see different things with different perspectives. We choose to deny or ignore it simply because it&#8217;s not related to our personal lives.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have become &#8220;insensitive towards sensitive issues&#8221;. We give attention to\u00a0 unimportant things and ignore which needs our action to make this world a better place to live for everyone. My request to the world is please accept different perspectives, at least try to give it a chance and I am sure we can make it happen. Every inch of happiness and every being on this planet is important. We all can make it happen.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4490 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/globalindianstories.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Un.suitables-Still-3-e1595364350445-300x260.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"441\" height=\"382\" srcset=\"https:\/\/globalindianstories.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Un.suitables-Still-3-e1595364350445-300x260.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/globalindianstories.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Un.suitables-Still-3-e1595364350445-768x665.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/globalindianstories.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Un.suitables-Still-3-e1595364350445-1024x886.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/globalindianstories.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Un.suitables-Still-3-e1595364350445-485x420.jpeg 485w, https:\/\/globalindianstories.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Un.suitables-Still-3-e1595364350445-640x554.jpeg 640w, https:\/\/globalindianstories.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Un.suitables-Still-3-e1595364350445.jpeg 1091w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 441px) 100vw, 441px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>What would be Taruna&#8217;s message for the genre of filmmakers who are highlighting the LGBTQ issues that should&#8217;ve been done years before?<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Taruna would say that it\u2019s better late than never. &#8220;I am too ecstatic that we are talking about this issue finally and positive changes are happening.
