ACTRESS SUKANYA BORUAH, who recently made her film debut with Rima Das's Not A Hero, an Indian-Singaporean coming-of-age drama, which went on to receive a Special Mention at the 2026 Berlin International Film Festival, is on cloud nine.

When asked about the audience's reaction at the festival, she says, "Audiences were very curious and engaged with the story. What touched me the most was that even people from completely different cultures could connect with the emotions in the film. It reminded me that honest stories can travel beyond language and geography."
