Postcards is a compelling narrative of a Nigerian single mother embarking on a journey to India for medical reasons. She encounters many relationship struggles and eventually reconnects with her family in India. The series, shot in Lagos and Mumbai, features a diverse cast of Nigerian and Indian actors, portraying the multicultural spectrum of human emotions. A person of Indian descent, the Nigerian series director and entrepreneur, Hamisha Daryani Ahuja, is making significant strides in Nigeria’s entertainment industry and the Indian OTT space.
Speaking to us from Lagos over a video call, Hamisha shares insights into the creation of Postcards, her cultural influences, future plans, and her journey as an Indian-Nigerian filmmaker, businesswoman, and motivational speaker. Her unique background and experiences have shaped her creative vision, allowing her to create content that resonates with diverse audiences.
“Initially, the title I had planned was Postcards from India. We wanted to convey a sense of old-fashioned charm with meaningful messages from another country. However, we realised that just focusing on India might limit the global appeal. So, Postcards was chosen to give it a broader, more relatable feel across different cultures,” says Hamisha
