Overview
- Born Hungry is now streaming in India on JioHotstar, produced by Purple Pebble Pictures with Barry Avrich’s Melbar Entertainment Group.
- The documentary follows chef Sash Simpson’s journey from abandonment in Chennai to adoption in Canada and professional acclaim.
- Chopra says her “brain splits into two,” pursuing varied challenges as an actor and prioritizing personally moving stories as a producer.
- She hopes the OTT release helps widen Simpson’s search for answers about his birth family through JioHotstar’s reach.
- She notes that feeling like an outsider early in Bollywood shaped her producer ethos, as she backs regional stories and prepares to return on screen in SS Rajamouli’s Varanasi, reported to roll out in two parts starting in 2027.
