Tahira Kashyap has achieved a remarkable milestone as her directorial debut film Sharmajee Ki Beti clinched the Best Asian Feature Film Award (Gold Belt) at the prestigious Content Asia Awards 2025. The film outshone competitors Where is the Lie? and Hello, Love, Again, which secured the Silver and Bronze belts respectively. This victory not only marks a proud moment for Tahira but also for the Indian film industry on the global stage.
Expressing her joy and gratitude, Tahira shared:
“I feel deeply honoured that Sharmajee Ki Beti has won Best Asian Feature Film at Content Asia Awards 2025. This recognition is beyond an honour; it’s a validation of the stories we want to bring to light. And nothing feels more satisfying than knowing the film has reached audiences across Asia—it’s truly a proud moment for all of us. The film was a deeply personal journey for me, and I’m filled with gratitude for the audiences who connected with it.”
At a time when mainstream cinema often leans on formulaic glitz and predictable narratives, Sharmajee Ki Beti stands out for its authenticity and refreshing take on womanhood. Tahira’s bold storytelling cuts through the clutter, bringing real, heartfelt stories to the forefront of Hindi cinema.
This is not the film’s first recognition. Earlier, Sharmajee Ki Beti swept three Silver Belt honours at the Exchange4Media Awards—winning Best Film, Best Writer (Tahira Kashyap), and Best Actor in a Movie (Divya Dutta).
Celebrated for its relatable theme, strong performances, and honest narrative, the film has been widely appreciated by audiences and critics alike. With this global achievement, Tahira Kashyap firmly establishes herself as a visionary filmmaker to watch out for. After such a stellar debut, anticipation is already building for what she will create next.
