Pragya Kapoor reflects on 16 years in Mumbai: “I came here to work as an event manager and did whatever it took to survive”

Pragya wrote, "16 years in this city. The city that tested me, broke me, built me and eventually, became home. I came here as a small-town girl from Sweden, knowing just enough English to get by. I came here to work as an event manager and did whatever it took to survive. It didn’t feel like the “city of dreams” then but looking back now it kind of was."

She added, "And now when I look back from that girl to a woman who’s building her life on her own terms, producing stories, meeting incredible people, learning, unlearning, messing up and figuring it all out I can’t help but smile. To the city that gave me a family. To the friends who turned into lifelines. To the chaos that gave me calm. To the fear that taught me how to fight. Thank you Mumbai, you have my heart (red heart emoji)"

By backing unconventional projects, Pragya Kapoor has been involved in films like Kedarnath, Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui, Azaad, and others, contributing to a shift in storytelling approaches in cinema.
