Sanchit Gupta

Sanchit Gupta—now there’s a name that’s been buzzing around the screenwriting and literary circuits. The guy’s got a knack for spinning stories that stick with you. His novel, The Tree with a Thousand Apples, wasn’t just any flash-in-the-pan bestseller; it made waves, caught the eye of the Sundance Screenwriters’ Lab International, and even got long-listed for the Rabindranath Tagore Literary Award. Not too shabby, right? But Sanchit didn’t just stop at penning books. He jumped straight into the world of film with his Hindi debut, "Chhatriwali." Produced by none other than Ronnie Screwvala from RSVP Movies, the film dropped on Zee5 in 2023 and, let’s be real, it kind of kicked open the door for conversations that most folks in India tend to whisper about. The movie’s not just about entertainment—it’s got this cheeky, bold take on sex education and societal taboos, all wrapped up in a small-town setting. No sugarcoating, no dancing around the subject—just straight talk with plenty of wit and a solid dose of heart. People who’ve followed Sanchit’s work know he’s not afraid to poke at the stuff others avoid, and "Chhatriwali" is basically him doing what he does best. He dives into those tricky, awkward subjects with a mix of humor and honesty, making you laugh, cringe, and maybe even think a little. That’s kind of his trademark—telling stories that actually say something, instead of just filling up space.
