The past 10 years have been a journey of learning, growing, and pushing boundaries. I’ve had the privilege of meeting and learning from some incredible individuals who’ve shaped me into a budding filmmaker I am today.
I’d like to share my short film poster (KAASH) with you, not just because it’s my debut, but also because it’s a labor of love that’s now doing a few rounds at the short film festivals both national and international (fingers crossed for the results!).
The film will be publicly available shortly, so do watch out for this space..
To my mentors, colleagues, friends, and family - thank you for believing in me, for your unwavering support, and for pushing me to strive for excellence. Your contributions, big or small, have been instrumental in bringing me to this milestone.

Humbled and grateful for my short film to receive yet another honour — Best Short Film - Jury at First Day First Show Film Festival.
Endless thanks to the jury and the festival team for the recognition and for championing independent cinema. Every award is a reminder to keep telling stories that matter.
✨ Proud moment! ✨
My debut short film KAASH has officially been selected and earned a Special Festival Mention at the 12th Indian Cine Film Festival 2024 in Mumbai!
This film is a story close to my heart about a 9 year old boy and his unwavering belief. This milestone wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible team that brought this vision to life.
Grateful for all the love and support so far here’s to many more steps in this exciting journey! 🙏

My love ❤️,
Happy Anniversary, my love. Every year with you is a blessing, and this one is even more special as we step into parenthood together. Here’s to us, our love, and the beautiful family we are building. 💖
I just wanted to take a moment to tell you how incredibly proud I am of you. Watching you through these past nine months has filled me with so much admiration. The strength, patience, and calmness you’ve shown — even on the toughest days — have been nothing short of amazing. You’ve handled everything with such grace, and you’ve taken care of every little detail with so much love and dedication.
I truly look up to you. Your caring nature, your warmth, and the way you always think of everyone else before yourself inspire me every single day. I’m constantly learning from you — how to love better, how to be more patient, and how to give without expecting anything in return. You have such a beautiful heart, and I feel so lucky to walk this journey with you.
Our little one is going to be so blessed to have you as a mother. The love you already have is so pure, and I know you’re going to create the most beautiful, warm, and safe world for our baby.
And now, as the next chapter of parenthood begins, I feel even more confident and excited — because I know you’re going to make this journey incredibly beautiful for our child. With your love, strength, and care, our baby couldn’t ask for anything more. 🌸
I’m always here beside you, proud of you, and grateful for you — today and always.
With all my love 🤍
Jeremiah Ross ✨

My Love,
Happy Birthday to the most amazing woman I know. Every single day, I find myself in awe of you, your strength, your kindness, and the way you love so deeply and so selflessly. I’m so proud of the person you are, and so grateful for everything I’ve learned from you.
You’ve shown me what it truly means to care, to love without limits, and to give with a full heart. Because of you, I’m a better man. Thank you for being my partner, my teacher, my safe place, and my greatest blessing.
Today, I celebrate you, not just for your birthday, but for the incredible light you bring into my life and the lives of everyone around you. I love you more than words can ever capture, and I’m so thankful I get to walk this journey with you. @khaatipeetiladki ❤️❤️
