- Anand Gandhi is one of the most famous scriptwriters in the Indian television industry having written the dialogues and screenplay for the longest running TV shows in India - Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi (first 85 episodes) and Kahaani Ghar Ghar Ki respectively. Anand Gandhi was born in Mumbai on September 26, 1980 and he began writing for the TV industry in the early 2000s when he was in his twenties.
His first full length feature film, Ship of Theseus premiered at the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival, where it won acclaim as the "hidden gem of the year". It has also won the Best Cinematography Award at the Tokyo International Film Festival; the Jury Prize for Technical Excellence at the Mumbai Film Festival; Best Actress Award at the Dubai International Film Festival among many other accolades. It was given a Special Mention by the Sutherland Jury "for tickling our intellect and showing us rarely-seen facets of Indian life". Critic Derek Malcolm put it on the list of "films that changed our lives", which was made to celebrate the centenary of The Critics' Circle. Earlier in his career, he had made two short films: Right Here, Right Now (2003) and Continuum (2006).

i bow down to this man. for the first time in my life i am so impressed by a person. Wish you all the best for your upcoming films. I anticipate a lot from your upcoming works.
great.... it's not about filmmaking it's all about life.. genius anand gandhi
I will meet this person one day and also work with him
Man..this guy's thoughts are really deep and intriguing..take a bow..Mr.Anand Gandhi for giving us this gem of a movie..Ship of Theseus..I am so happy that after so so long we are gifted with a meaningful bollywood movie..Please keep up the good work and expect lot more from you in the future..
Its really wonderful to find a fellow seeker, whose interests are as varied as the human curiosity itself. The joy and fun it is to ask questions and find answers, only to have broader questions than before ! :)
Loved his enthusiasm! You could sense that he just wishes to wipe out ignorance from humanity in its entirety. Loved the movie, makes you wonder for days after watching it.
i admire the journalist mr.irfan who is very sensitive and gentle to tackle the interview... happy .. !!
First of all...a great applaud to Irrfan Sir for interviewing in such a brilliant manner......how proficiently he justifies what actually an interview should be like........Thanks a lot sir......Its because of people like you that we encounter such brilliant persons in a very perspicacious manner.......And than coming to Mr. Anand Gandhi.......there are very few moments in my life when I feel something and i am unable to channelize the thoughts into words.....and this is certainly one such moment....though quoting speechless...with its regular use has lost its intensity...yet for people not myopic......simply speechless in every form and left with a question...How ????
What a interview! I just love this director and his films. Want more like 'Ship of Theseus'.
such a delight.
Like his movie, he still makes us engage, evolve and enlighten during the interview.
Indian cinema needs more people like you to push our own boundaries.
Keep going..
This is one gem of an interview just like the movie itself.
I feel a connect to you that's unexpressible.Grateful to the internet,like you said ,so that I can see things from your illuminating perspective .
You have implied many times about interconnectedness of things. U have been interested in apparently very different subjects and in your movie,there was the Bio part about how the fungus,ant ,moral dilemma,art ,caterpillar I am reading a book Tao of Physcs (i am physics student btw) that tells the parallels between Modern physics and eastern mysticism
god, what an enlightened soul.
anand sir really said well at last of programme about "purpose of life"......remind me of carl sagan the way he talks....inspiring people....
salute........
i seriously pity guys who support and crave for the so called 100 cr club and mass masala.............what he said is 100 % correct about slow evolution of people about thinking on these things......And whoever think that this kind movies gonna extinct in near future I am gonna tell you guys,your kind of species gonna end very soon i wish that happen......And whoever saw satyajit ray movies could only understand the simplicity and complexicity in this topic
He is mad......but he is awesome.
Philosophy mein kabhi koi conclusion to nikal nhi pata
Mr Gandhi aapki favourite director kaun hai?
That intervuewr is a Muslim, if he is a practising one, I doubt how much he believes in theory of evolution not creation
