A doting father Jisshu Sengupta proud of his baby girl Sara

It’s a proud moment for Jisshu Sengupta to see her daughter Sara getting worldwide recognition in her debut film. As Srijit Mukherji’s ‘

Uma

’ gets screened at the International Film Festival of India in Goa the doting father feels so proud of his daughter. The ‘Uma’ team was also felicitated at the

IFFI Goa

. Sharing the stage with director Srijit, the Sengupta family (Jisshu, Nilanjana and their daughter Sara) looked visibly overwhelmed by the response the film received from the audience. It’s surely a happy time for Sara’s parents.


The proud father Jisshu who also played Sara’s reel-life father in the film couldn’t hold his happiness as he tweeted: “Feeling so proud…my baby @SaraSengupta #proudfather.”


Meanwhile, Srijit also took to his Twitter handle and shared a picture with an emotional caption that read: “Evan and #Uma conquer Goa.”


The film ‘Uma’ shows how a real-life father-daughter bonding can become a reel life hit. Sara Sengupta as the titular character is natural throughout the film. She reflects the embodiment of her dreams, innocence and subtle maturity. Jisshu Sengupta, Sara's real-life father too, pours out his soul into his superb performance portraying a desperate and doting father. The collective desperation to fulfill a dying girl’s last wish while facing petty religious sentiments and self-interest in the narrative can actually restore one's faith in humanity.
