This episode is all about screenwriting with Rekha Nigam. Rekha’s work spans across the entertainment industry working with top TV networks, advertising agencies, and screenwriting for prominent Bollywood movies like Parineeta & Laaga Chunari Mein Daag. In addition to the profession of screenwriting itself, we discuss the foundations of storytelling, about the film industry, reading, writing, languages, digital media, and the role that women play in the advertising industry. Rekha Nigam is a natural storyteller, and in this episode is a fun-filled conversation where I learn a ton about her craft with this passionate storyteller.

This episode contains 2 interviews.

It was recorded at Zomaland. Video: http://bit.ly/about-salmanneedsajob In the second interview, I speak to Shreshta Bhandary about her job as a compliance Analyst. Video: http://bit.ly/shreshta-complianceanalyst The reason for featuring 2 separate topics in the same episode, is because it was both me Shreshta interviewing each other, so you may find it fitting to listen.
