Vidya Balan was seen in Natkhat which defines the story of an overly affectionate mother who discusses the subject of gender equality with her son. The short film is set in a patriarchal society, in which an impressionable seven-year-old boy is being brought up. Due to everything that he has learned from his male role models, he indulges in an act at school that he soon begins to regret. In order to make sure that the seven-year-old lad, Sonu, doesn’t grow up to be like his role models, his mother (played by Vidya Balan) begins teaching her about the virtues of gender equality and the harmonious relationships that humans must maintain with every living being.

The short film surfaced online during YouTube’s We Are One: A Global Film Festival event. The Shaan Vyas-directorial has been produced by Vidya Balan and Ronnie Screwvala.
