Bebaak (Dying wind in her hair) is a Hindi and Urdu language short film written and directed by Shazia Iqbal in 2019 and produced by Jar Pictures.
[1][2][3] This film is based on a true tale about a young woman named Fatin who was publicly reprimanded for being a woman at a scholarship interview by a religious leader.
[4][5][6] Based on a real-life incident, Bebaak examines the patriarchal idea of male agency over female bodies, which is based on a systematic theological notion that demands women cover up in order to be "more humble, respectful, and acceptable" by society.
It tells the tale of Fatin, a young woman from a low-income family who encounters chauvinism and is reprimanded by a religious leader during a scholarship interview.
[7][8][9] The scandal surrounding Anurag Kashyap stems from his alleged negligence in a sexual assault accusation against his former business partner Vikas Bahl, and it has stained a short film he made on his own.
