Scripting Her Own Destiny

You have a no in your pocket. Now, go, get a yes. These priceless words of advice from her mother are probably what have driven Tisca Chopra so far to amass a lot of ‘yeses s’ in her treasure chest—like being an immensely talented and respected actor, producer, writer, author and social activist, amongst other accomplishments. The 43-year- old now hopes to hone her skills in filmmaking. “This advice has always stood me in good stead. You already have been given to understand that something may not happen—you already have that no in your pocket. Well, go on then and see if it is going to happen,” says Tisca.
