Sapna Bhavnani

Urodzony 5 sty 1971

As a pioneer entrepreneur, Sapna Bhavnani founded the hair salon Mad O Wot 16 years ago in Bombay and changed the way Indian youth looked at themselves. Through her versatile avatars such as writing an intimate weekly column for a well known publication and authoring a self-help book for teenage girls "Style O Wot" to launching the avant-garde clothing line "So Fake" and acting in NIRBHAYA - a searing testimonial play which cracked open the cone of silence around sexual and gender-based violence in India, Sapna Moti Bhavnani is a voice to reckon with. She traverses mainstream success with just as much ease as she skirts the underground youth art and culture movement. Ageless, Fearless, and Forever metamorphosing in her endeavours. Sapna is best known as Producer/Director of her award winning documentary Sindhustan and Producer of the feature Mehsampur. Sindhustan started its festival journey in 2019 and is her first feature length documentary. The film about the largest migration of a culture in history told through tattoos on her body. Sindhustan has won 9 Feature Documentary Awards and travelled to 21 festivals and is now streaming online on Amazon Prime and Movie Saints. Actor, spoken word artist, hair stylist, writer, director, producer - Sapna embodies it all as a visionary and a change maker. In July 2020 she launched her production company called Wench Films to push feline talent primarily from India to the world. Currently she is in post-production with her feature My Dog IS Sick and writing a book titled Chapter One for Harper Collins. The rest, like they say is herstory.
