Seeking to explain her feelings on the invitation to be a part of the jury, she wrote, “In the midst of many stresses of work and life, I know this experience will be a burst of creative stimulus, it’ll be nourishing. Can’t wait to watch good films in a pin drop dark hall and have the most exciting jury deliberations after.

As usual it may not always be real time because it’s more consuming to live the moment. But will share all the precious nuggets for sure. The images here don’t capture my time in Busan over the years, but are a snapshot, in no particular order, of what was handy. It’s also a reminder what I can’t sadly wear again! Will save them for another occasion, in another place!

The actress, who seemed to be upbeat about her upcoming visit to Busan, thanked the festival organisers for the honour. She wrote, “Thank you @busanfilmfest for this honour. See you soon!”
