Sonam shared an inspiring caption, about the topic 'Women in Film' and wrote, "Women need to shift from thinking 'I'm not ready to do that' to thinking 'I want to do that – and I'll learn by doing it.” — Sheryl Sandberg
In essence, this is what Rima Das has done — producing, acting, directing, shooting, and editing her films — without
professional training. Das believes that it is this very lack of training that has helped her envision such unique films.
The Assamese filmmaker is a cinematic powerhouse and I’m so excited to be able to celebrate her and her contribution to global cinema. To yet another relentless hustler — may you always remain an inspiration!"

In a clip shared by Sonam, Rima can be seen talking about her journey and she stated that she aspired to be an actor first but language was a barrier for her and when she landed in Mumbai, she went through depression and saw a lot of films later, which is when she decided to change her career path from acting to filmmaking.
