She played the daughter of the infamous Fanny Fernandes in the 2014 Bollywood flick Finding Fanny. Cut to circa now and our Facebook feeds are flooded with insightful reviews of Newton, a film that has quite prominently affected the youth and is India’s official entry to the Oscars.

While all eyes are on the protagonist played by the stellar Rajkummar Rao, one can’t help but resonate with Malko – a booth inspector in rural Chhattisgarh played by the immensely talented Patil. A national award winning actor, Patil claims to have a knack for weaving stories from her early childhood days. She went on to extensively study Performing Arts at Pune University and theatre design at the National School of Drama, New Delhi. She’s won several accolades for her breakthrough performances in Delhi in a Day and the Sri Lankan film With You Without You. Amidst the joyful bustle of Newton, Patil talks about her unconventional role choices and promising future projects.
