Trivia

  • Actor Shefali Shah's powerful monologue in 'Geeli Pucchi' was largely improvised during rehearsals, according to cast interviews.
  • The anthology's title translates to 'Strange Stories,' reflecting its theme of unconventional and twisted human connections.
  • It marked actor Konkona Sen Sharma's first collaboration with director Neeraj Ghaywan, though both had worked on earlier feminist-themed projects.
