As someone who is also a trained counselor and deeply involved in understanding human behavior, emotions, and the complexities of the mind, I felt compelled to tell this story.<\/p><p>I\u2019ve seen firsthand how people struggle with inner conflict, suppression, and the inability to face certain truths, sometimes for years. That internal tug-of-war, that very human tendency to escape reality rather than confront it, is what DENIAL explores. I believe many viewers will resonate with the emotions this film brings forth because, in some way or the other, we\u2019ve all been there.<\/p><p>While I didn\u2019t direct this film myself, I was very much involved creatively. I wrote the story and produced the film. It\u2019s currently streaming on the Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Festival&#8217;s YouTube channel, and we\u2019re in the process of releasing it on another platform soon.<\/p><p>It was
