I just had one of the most fun weeks in my 25 years in Hollywood! 🪔 Got to attend the Ramayana premiere, and man, did it deliver! I’ve been following how Indian films reach global audiences for years, and this one does on a scope and scale I’so this was a pretty special moment to witness. We also celebrated one year of South Stack Studios, a nonprofit I’m proud to be on the board of. It’s amazing how much they’ve done for South Asian storytellers in such a short time. And a huge thank you to Gold House for an incredible Diwali party! It felt like a reunion seeing so many friends and familiar faces from over the years doing such amazing things. There’s so much happening in the South Asian community right now, and I’m just really happy to be part of it and support it however I can. What a week! Happy Diwali, fam! ❤️ 07 Nov 2026

We want to connect with each other, but the first hello is the hardest part 😞 The good news? Striking up conversations with new people is a skill you can hone. And it pays dividends every day. Social media has made IRL interactions seem so high stakes, and particularly past COVID, our social skills have taken a serious hit. Now, there’s so much overthinking, and we’re nervous the other person will think we’re bothering them. But seriously, what’s the worst that could happen? You approach a person and they don’t want to talk. No big deal. Most people do. So keep it moving! But the upside? You may make a new friend, or at the very least, you’ve expanded your horizons, learned new things, laughed a little, and maybe even brightened yours and their day. More on this coming soon. Anything work for you? Let’s combat loneliness together! 28 Oct 2026

There’s a lot of talk about the “male loneliness crisis” but is it actually harder for men to make friends with other men? Bear with me… I have a theory. When we encounter other men, there’s this “fight or flight” instinct that kicks in, a sort of evolutionary hangover from the days we needed to evaluate threats pretty quickly. So our guard is up and we’d often rather avoid each other. On the other hand, if we’re too friendly, there’s this fear of coming across as too vulnerable, of being perceived as a “sissy,” or worse, of misunderstanding that we’re hitting on another man. So there’s this tightrope between being too tough and too vulnerable with each other that’s incredibly difficult to walk. We’re battling a million years of programming with a few thousand of civilized society. Maybe we should give ourselves a little grace? Just saying. It seems part of finding solutions should be identifying the problem to begin with. Thoughts? 23 Oct 2026

No. Place. Like it. 🌃 09 Oct 2026

We’re getting better at building independent lives. But are we getting worse at building lives with other people? As a filmmaker, I’ve always appreciated the power of story to help make sense of our lives and make us feel less alone. I see the creator journey as an extension of that storytelling, but in different formats. This page is quickly becoming a space for the questions that I keep coming back to. While it was the 60s and 70s that spawned the generation of free-thinking and independence, my generation helped normalized the idea that you don’t have to get married, which just might be the single biggest social shift in a century. But somewhere along the way, we may have underestimated what happens when partnership and community become optional for too long. People are lonely. People are struggling to meet each other. And mental health is skyrocketing as a result, because we just plain need each other. So no, I don’t think telling people to “just put yourself out there” is enough. We need real solutions. So that’s what I want to explore here. Sometimes that means jokes. Sometimes it’s a skit. Sometimes it’s hearing from people who see things completely differently. So yeah, hopefully this explains why the filmmaker you knew is suddenly talking about loneliness on Instagram. I’m just trying to figure some things out. Come figure them out with me. 29 Sep 2026

Of all the reasons to be happy, this film might just be the best one! Breaking the Code tells the story of Kanwal Rekhi, the first Indian to fight his way to the top of big tech and take a company public in Silicon Valley. His journey defied the odds and sparked a revolution that changed perceptions of Indians and immigrants globally. Kanwal’s son, award-winning filmmaker Ben Rekhi, directed the film, and it’s his most personal yet, following him as he tries to make sense of his father’s sacrifices, ambitions, and resilience. If you’re chasing a dream, navigating change or starting over, this film is for you. #breakingthecodefilm 25 Sep 2026

20 years ago, I landed in Bombay, the City of Dreams to screen my first film WATERBORNE, with the one and only Shabana Azmi. During that trip, I realized I had made that film in Hollywood, and was screening it in Bollywood, and that maybe I could build a career between the world’s largest film industries. So two years later, I moved here. And now, of the last 20 years, I’ve spent 5 of them right here. Made friends, made movies, signed leases, fell in love, and saw the skyline change. “BombayBen” is more than just my email address. For a good portion of my adult life, it’s been my identity too. I Here’s to this maximum city that gives people from all over the world a shot at their dreams. Here’s to my second home! <3 23 Sep 2026

Two people, zero spoilers, and one ambitious plot to explain! We did our best. If you haven’t already seen it, Last Man In Tower is out in cinemas now 🎞️ 21 Sep 2026

The verdict is out... and Masterji's lessons are a hit!! ✨ #LastManInTower, In Cinemas Now! 11 Sep 2026

15 years ago, I read Aravind Adiga’s The White Tiger. I didn’t know it yet, but that was the day this film was born. I couldn’t stop thinking about it, and somewhere in between those pages, an idea started forming. It sat with me for over the years, through ups and downs, through other projects, through years of not knowing if it would ever get made. And now here we are. Release Day. It’s crazy when something you carried quietly in your heart for 10+ years suddenly is about to be projected on a screen, in front of everyone. This is what a press day looks like when a decade of work comes into the world. The trailer’s live on my profile, go watch it. 👆 Final take before it’s all yours. In theaters this Friday. 🎬✨ 10 Sep 2026
