Synopsis
A unique biography that explores and celebrates the life of one of India's greatest Urdu writers as a rebellious little girl. 'Aren't girls and boys equal?' Right from childhood, Chunni's favourite word was 'why'. Why is the sky blue and the grass green? Why can't I look at the sun for long? Why can't I have short hair like my brothers? Chunni's curious mind was always bubbling with questions. One day, when a coach arrives to teach her brothers how to ride a snowy white horse, Chunni decides she wants to ride, too.
