Tannishtha Chatterjee.
Sometimes the characters lived on the screen, sometimes the stories behind the camera, but now Zindagi has handed over a script to Tanishtha Chatterjee, which is not easy to live, yet she is playing it with full passion. Tannishtha, an actress, director and above, a mother. It was not even a year since his father was lost from cancer that life took another harsh turn. Just four months ago, he came to know that he has metastatic breast cancer, that too stage IV. It is exactly the same as the story of a film goes into the dark. She was shooting for a film, ‘Ek Tailed Decision’ and during that time she had to take the most difficult decision of her own life. Tannishtha says, “For the first time, I am tired … by being strong.”
Father died of cancer and then …
Last year, when the father left, there was no time to drown in his mourning. The mother was 70 years old and the 9 -year -old daughter was responsible for her shoulders. She says, ‘I returned to shooting in five days, because there was no time to stop. Hearing Papa’s favorite songs, she used to remind herself that he had to move forward. But when he came to know about his own cancer, Sara collapsed for a moment like self -confidence. His voice trembles, but still there is a glow of hope in the eyes, ‘I thought, why? Why with me? Is this karma? ‘
The most difficult decision of a mother
Being a single mother, another decision shook him. He had to send his innocent daughter to America to her sister. Tannishtha did not want her daughter to see her weak. Nor did she want her childhood to spend fear and insecurity. She said, ‘She thinks I am a superwoman and I want them to think the same. Some people believe that children should tell everything, but I wanted to save her, like every mother wants. ‘
When not being strong is also necessary
When the treatment started, the doctors said that bring a trusted, the papers have to be signed. Mother and daughter were not in this role. Then the sister said, “Now is the time to ask for help.” And this is where the ‘cast’ of real life surfaced, who is no less than the family. Shabana Azmi, Richa Chadha, Konkona Sen Sharma, Vidya Balan, Divya Dutta, Urmila Matondkar and Dia Mirza, these names became part of the support of stuff, not only of cinema. Stayed with him during chemotherapy and never let him feel alone.

You just have to call them. ‘ The story of Tannishtha Chatterjee is not only to struggle with cancer, but it is the story of a mother, a daughter, a human being, which is the most true story of life, not the camera.

He said after adopting the daughter, ‘I am not married, but now I have a child. I tell many of my male friends and ex -lovers that it is better to adopt a child than spending time with a boy. I was thinking of adopting from the age of 16. I was clear from a very young age that I want to adopt. When you say these things at a young age, people dismiss it by saying this, ‘It is just saying so. At that time, I also felt that I was getting very strict and it is about a social reason, because there are many abandoned children in our country. ‘
