A Drop of Sunshine became an award winning documentary. It won the Rajat Kamal (Silver Lotus Award) as the Best Motivational/ Inspirational/ Instructional Film for the 59th National Film Awards, the oldest and most prestigious Awards for films in India. The citation reads: ‘ For demystifying and creating awareness towards Schizophrenia through the story of the courageous journey of a young woman ’ . “ I have never raped, tortured, or abused anyone, and yet because I am a ‘ survivor of psychiatry ’ , neither the government nor society gives me the rights I deserve. Indian law states that people with mental illness cannot travel in an aeroplane unless they are sedated...They can’t vote, have no say in their treatment and don’t have the same right to education as others. Many of these rules are unconstitutional, but nobody is willing to change these archaic rules .”
