Ahead of the release of her directorial venture, Tribhanga, Renuka Shahane on how a chance encounter with a woman sharing a strained relationship with her mother, encouraged her to make the Kajol-starrer.

Fans who have missed her candour and vivacity on the big screen are eagerly awaiting the release of Kajol`s web debut, Tribhanga: Tedhi Medhi Crazy. As the matriarch of the family in the spotlight, the actor say her character is a lot like her. "My character is outspoken and opinionated, like viewers [perceive] me to be. Yet, she is different. The film is a celebration of women and their beautiful imperfections. We must embrace these [flaws] and live on our own terms, just the way [the protagonists] Nayan, Anu, and Masha do."
If the film`s recently unveiled teaser is testimony, the Netflix offering follows an intergenerational family including three women, and their unconventional life choices. Kajol, who is supported by Tanvi Azmi and Mithila Palkar in the drama, could draw from her experiences as a mother to breathe life into the part. "As a mother, I can vouch for the fact that women face umpteen challenges, because the smallest things we do affect our children. A mother is a minefield of emotions. I hope the film resonates with people of all ages," says the actor, heaping praise on Renuka Shahane for helming the project tactfully.
