As a middle class girl from Delhi, with practically no backing in films, this industry and the audience have given me a lot of love.
My films play only in Bengal, and my audience is the educated middle class in the cities and small towns. They also play in Bombay, Madras and Delhi where there is a Bengali population.
Delhi - the entire north - has given me so much love. It has given me an identity, so I have no shame in being called a Delhi dude.
I'm the middle-class kid; it doesn't sound exciting, but a lot of my audience is middle-class kids.
I think people do like extremes in cinema. There are very few films told about everyday middle-class couples, which is odd to me, as there are a lot of everyday middle-class couples.
Since I still think of myself as a middle class guy, people get to see that side of me in films like 'Middle Class Abbayi.'
The really successful work in England tends to be working-class writers telling working-class stories. The film industry has been slow to wake up to that, for a variety of reasons. It still shocks me how few films are written or made in England about working-class life, given that those are the people who go to movies.
I grew up in a very middle-class life. I'm grateful for it - it has given me a lot of stability.
I was not from a middle-class family at all. I did not have middle-class possessions and what have you. But I had middle-class parents who gave me what was needed to survive in society.
But in Delhi, people love artists. They love any musician, any actor; anybody from the art field who visits from the entertainment industry, gets an amazing response in Delhi.
The middle class is doing fine in fiction. But it's not what gets me going. I love the working class, and everyone from it I've met, and think they're incredibly witty, inventive - there's a lot of poetry there.
Now Kolkata audience loves to see films from Shinoprosad Mukherjee, Srijit Mukherji, Kaushik Ganguly. But I believe the industry still depends a lot on commercial films.
Most middle-class people I know don't really live like me. Middle-class people worry a lot about money. They worry a lot about job security, and they do a lot of nine-to-five stuff.
If you were a successful upper-middle-class Negro girl in the 1950s and '60s, you were, in practice and imagination, a white Protestant upper middle-class girl. Young, good-looking white women were the most desirable creatures in the world. It was hard not to want to imitate them; it was highly toxic, too, as we would learn.
I'm from a typical middle-class family in Delhi, with one of the most down-to-earth childhoods.
I love my cross-sectioned, cross-cultural audience. Some of them are doing better than the average guy, but my audience has always been people who are struggling to stay in the middle class.
The United States is a country where practically everybody considers himself middle class.
