Kanika with a career spanning over a decade & a variety of shows to her credit went on a brief sabbatical to embrace motherhood & she is making a comeback with her short film starring herself that has been sent to film festivals worldwide & will be released in India in the next couple of months. 
An excited Kanika shares, "I didn't see this coming. I'm ecstatic to get an official entry in the nominations. I just learnt that my movie has been lined up for the premier slot & will be screened at the  Oakbrook auditorium, which is a mean achievement for any film maker."

"The festival manager, Jigar Shah sent across the flyer & I got so excited with my name alongside some bigwigs of short film makers, he also watched my film & sent me a message on how touched he was. All one aspiring film maker needs it acknowledgement & appreciation. They have extended the invite & I can't wait to touchdown Chicago &  to see the reaction of the audience in real time."
