Sir is not merely the depiction of a romantic relationship, but the very basis of affection craved by everyone. The characters portray how we connect with people on common ground, Ashwin and Ratna were bound by clutches of the servant-employer relationship, but keeping aside this social disparity, they connected on a human level with the pain they were going through and hence had each other's back unconsciously. Sir supported Ratna's effort to be a fashion designer by gifting her fashion magazines and a sewing machine,
Smashing the constraints of economic status and the societal notion of inequality, Is Love Enough Sir, a Netflix release is the execution of a beautiful relation between a widowed ambitious live-in housemaid, Ratna and her 'sir', Ashwin, an introvert architect recovering from the pain of an aborted engagement.
Rohena Gera presents an intensely sensitive issue perfectly. Both the actors bring out the characters to life flawlessly, enabling the audience to ponder on the very idea of inequality, love, and relationships. It would be fair to rate the film as four out of five. In the era of cliché happy Bollywood endings, Sir establishes our faith in the attraction of relationships beyond circumstantial dissimilarities.
while Ratna supported him by hiding the return gifts from his ex-finance to prevent him from pain and by bringing a ray of hope by saying, “Life khatam nahi hoti hain Sir.”

1. You seem to dabble in a lot of fields. What profession do you hope to pursue in future?
I came here with the excitement to learn and gain experience. I was eager to explore new things and kept jumping at every opportunity to do so. Hence, my engagement with so many societies. And I would like to mention here that every society has given me a new vision towards work and towards myself; whether it was the seriousness of
When I joined DME, I thought of going in the field of production which I still enjoy but as I spent more years in this college, I started developing an interest in academics. I think I will go for higher studies and wish to pursue a career in academics.
2. How did you get so involved in all of the college societies?
4. What interests you the most about film and TV production?
Observe and learn. Creativity may or may not come naturally to you but the more content you expose yourself to, the more ideas you get. And of course, practising by hand is a must. One cannot be successful in this field without it.
I always knew that I had a creative mind. As a kid, I was fascinated by shows like Power Rangers and the parallel world they presented. It's all coming from some creative minds. Someday, I too want to put
my creativity out there and share my thoughts, my vision with people.

3. What role has DME played in shaping your life?
5. What advice would you like to give to your juniors who want to pursue a career in fields like photography or video production?
Entering a college changes you, completely. DME did the same to me. I have learnt various things here and gained exposure. It is here I learned who I can trust in life and discovered my capabilities.
