A year since her directorial debut PA-Gals struck a chord with the youngsters, Nidhi Bisht stands vindicated. After all, she had quit her career in law to pursue her directorial dream. The web series that revolves around three flatmates and their everyday struggles has returned with its second season.
When it came to scripting her first show, Bisht says she didn't have to look too far for inspiration. "When I first moved to Mumbai, I was living with six other girls. I thought our experiences would make for great content. In fact, I had pitched the concept of PA-Gals to TVF in 2012. It was called Chikipedia then. We had even shot the pilot episode. However, Rowdies had launched at the same time and gone viral. In comparison, our episode seemed weak. So we decided to put a pin in it," she says.
