Shefali, a Best Creator nominee at mid-day and Radio City Hitlist OTT Awards, on lawyer-dad Shanti Bhushan’s deep influence on Guilty Minds
A still from the series
During Shefali Bhushan’s growing-up years, dinner-table conversations were always about the law, thanks to her father — the late Shanti Bhushan, former Minister of Law and Justice of India — and grandfather Vishwamitra Bhushan. Not surprising then that Shefali’s years of subconscious learning have led her to make Guilty Minds, one of the finest courtroom dramas to have come out of Indian entertainment in recent times.
Fascinating cases and realistic treatment were the biggest wins of the Shriya Pilgaonkar and Varun Mitra-led series. Shefali, who has bagged a Best Creator/Showrunner nomination at the mid-day and Radio City Hitlist OTT Awards, says research was the backbone of the series. “The writers’ room [comprised] co-director Jayant Somalkar, two lawyers Manav Bhushan and Deeksha Gujral, and me. While Manav contributed in the selection of cases, Deeksha made sure our arguments were consistent with the laws. Also, I included details that I have seen in my home, which is full of lawyers.”
