After working on multiple good projects, including movies like Badhaai Ho, Mulk; her new project ‘The Last Color’ has been making waves internationally. At the Indian International Film Festival of Boston, while Neena Gupta won the Best actress, the movie ‘The Last Color’ won the Best Feature Film.

The film stars Neena Gupta and Aqsa Siddiqui, as a widow and a 9-year-old tightrope walker. It revolves around the taboo that surrounds widows, in Vrindavan and Varanasi, who are forbidden from festivals like Holi and are only to be clad in white clothes at all times.

Chef turned filmmaker Vikas Khanna took to his Instagram handle to share the great news:
