VIVASHWAN CHAUDHARY
WRITER . DIRECTOR . EDITOR
As a humanist, Vivashwan's allegiance has always lain in seeking the unexplored truths about humanity. The truth hiding in plain sight. The truth often unseen as we blindfold ourselves with our preordained faith and beliefs. The truth which is secret and yet isn’t. Vivashwan wants to paint canvases, sing songs and tell stories of the human endeavour to seek this truth.
​
Culturally urban. Absurd sense of Humour. Had a love affair with cricket when he started cheating on her with filmmaking.
