Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari describes herself as an old soul who swears by romantic movies of the ’80s. With her latest series Faadu, she wants to offer the magic of old-school romance to today’s generation who, she feels, are cynical about love. “[People today] are fast and impatient in love. This generation believes in dreaming big and getting things for themselves. In the process, love becomes all about meeting in a restaurant and looking at your phones,” chuckles the director.
