Television actress Kanika Maheshwari who rose to fame with her role in the hit show Diya Aur Baati Hum recently made her debut as a writer- producer with her short film Forever Whim.

The movie revolving around a mother-daughter relationship after the former has been detected with cancer won an award at the Melbourne City Independent Film Awards & we hear now stands a nomination at the Chicago South Asian Film Festival to be held next week on the 20th of September.

Kanika with a career spanning over a decade & a variety of shows to her credit went on a brief sabbatical to embrace motherhood & she is making a comeback with her short film starring herself that has been sent to film festivals worldwide & will be released in India in the next couple of months.

An excited Kanika shares, "I didn't see this coming. I'm ecstatic to get an official entry in the nominations. I just learnt that my movie has been lined up for the premier slot & will be screened at the Oakbrook auditorium, which is a mean achievement for any film maker."

We are equally excited for her and hope to see her on TV soon.
