Takshi Mehta is a film and culture journalist. She loves storytelling in every manner, and her love for it aligns perfectly with Robin Williams’ sentiment that “poetry, beauty, romance, love—these are what we stay alive for” (just add cinema to the list). You can find her on Instagram: @takshimehta and Twitter: @takshimehta.
Through films like Bhakshak, Peepli Live, Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani, and more, Takshi Mehta explores a complex interplay in the representation of media and journalists in Indian cinema, where real and reel stand as opposing mirrors reflecting each other.
