Nandita Das says she enjoys both acting and direction, but being behind the camera gives her more creative fulfilment. The actor-filmmaker says direction helps her in highlighting her concerns and starting conversations on various socio-political issues.

"It (acting) is less demanding than direction. But while direction is far more time consuming and challenging, it is also more fulfilling, both creatively and emotionally. But each has its merit and I feel no reason to choose as I would like to do both," Nandita told PTI in an interview. The critically-acclaimed director, who has helmed films like "Firaaq" and "Manto", said one should not be afraid to tell the stories they believe in.
