It's rare to find a confident director and an organised producer like Shoa.
-Rasika Dugal, actor
Being directed by Shoa was a delight. She’s funny and warm and most importantly knows what she wants. Her conviction made my work a joy.
- Sikandar Kher, actor
In our business you either find a talented person or a person who is fun to work with. You almost never find people who are both. Shoa is example of that very rare breed of people.
- Akshay Oberoi, actor
Shoa’s effervescent energy infused our project with light and love - I cannot thank her enough for her expert contribution!
- Tim Cole, producer
Every time I've worked with Shoa it's been so easy and professional from the start to the end. She's so hands on as a producer and director be it for any Audio project that we've worked on. She's amazing at what she does and I for one as an artist look forward to her calls asking me to work with her on something new again.❤️😊
-Suchitra Pillai, actor
You can tell Shoa makes an excellent leader when you work with her, because everyone's having fun, treating each other with respect and getting stuff done, especially in the middle of a pandemic! I dubbed for my first audio project with her and even though there were a lot of challenges as we were in middle of the 2nd wave and lockdown, she made sure we were all comfortable and had all the help we required during those long recording hours and the day would become fun. I actually miss working with the team!
- Anupriya Goenka, actor
There's such a warmth about Shoa, and it's why people keep coming back to work with her. From making sure we took breaks and ate on time, to managing the schedule like a hawk, she's always on top of things. Shoa invests herself in people, and that's where the magic lies, because you know you'll be taken care of.
- Smriti Kalra, actor
When Shoa is in charge of your production, you know that people are taken care of, things are happening according to plan, and on top of everything, she's also planning the best wrap party!
- Rakesh Mehra, Producer
Shoa is one of the most easy going producers I’ve ever worked with. Thanks to her care & support I was able to optimise my creativity and produce some great content with her.
-Riddhi Dave, actor
Shoa is a powerhouse of talent, skill, precise execution and commitment! Rarely do you come across someone who has so much fire in them that they can warm up the entire surrounding!
-Ninad Nayampally, key grip
Shoa is a very dependable producer. She really enjoys her work and it shows in how she goes about it - with great care and attention to detail, to the process and to the people involved. Because she has worked across film and audio productions, she understands the creative process well and is able to facilitate a work environment which is nourishing for the team.
-Faiza Ahmad Khan, documentary filmmaker
"On the sets of Qissa , Shoa was not just a team player but someone who cared to solve the problem and be a part of the solution."
-Tillotama Shome, actor
Working with Shoa was like a walk in the park and it didn't feel like we were working at all, I felt so welcomed into the team and felt so at home as if I had known her for years. It’s surely been one enriching experience.
-Rithvik Dhanjani, actor
Shoa confidently took the reins for the production of my audiobook and after many intense days together in the studio, I can honestly say, I’ve rarely worked with anyone like Shoa: organised, efficient, supremely empathetic and loads of fun. Shoa has a gift: she delivers on time and makes the ride memorable.
