Aisha Sultana Biography

Lakshadweep-based actress, model and director who made history as the islands' first woman filmmaker.

Early life and background

Aisha Sultana was born on 2 December 1984 in Jessore, Bangladesh. She grew up in a middle-class family and is known to be close to her grandmother. She has two younger brothers. Although born in Bangladesh, Sultana is identified as Indian and has made her home in Lakshadweep, residing on Chetlat island as of 2021.

Career

Sultana began her professional life as a model, working on print shoots and advertising assignments. She expanded into the world of film and theatre, participating in a number of Malayalam stage productions and building experience behind the camera as an assistant director to several Malayalam filmmakers, including Nissam Basheer and Lal Jose.

Her work in cinema progressed to credited roles in direction: she served as an associate director on the 2019 Malayalam film Kettiyolaanu Ente Malakha and wrote and directed her independent feature Flush, which is listed as her directorial debut in 2020. The teaser for Flush was circulated in 2019 and received visibility through support from peers in the Malayalam film community.

Beyond filmmaking, Sultana has been active in the arts more broadly. In 2013 she completed a curatorial research residency at Gasworks gallery in London and later became involved with the Brito Arts Trust, a Dhaka-based artists' collective. In 2014 she was a recipient of the Samdani Art Award. These engagements reflect a practice that spans visual art, curation and cinema.

Public profile

Sultana is widely described as the first woman filmmaker in Lakshadweep's history. She has taken part in public campaigns and cultural activity on the islands, especially opposing certain reforms and proposed legislation affecting Lakshadweep. Her public comments have at times been controversial: in June 2021 a case was registered after remarks she made during a television debate about the Lakshadweep administrator and the spread of Covid-19. Cultural organizations in the region publicly expressed support for her in the aftermath.

Her personal interests include motorbikes and reading. She owns a Yamaha R15 and has cited tea and the colour white among her preferences. Joaquin Phoenix is noted as a favourite actor. On social media she has built a substantial following: as of 2021 her Facebook account had crossed one million followers.

Latest updates

Sultana continues to be active across film, theatre and arts practice while remaining engaged with cultural and civic debates in Lakshadweep. Her debut feature Flush (2020) remains a key credit in her filmmaking career, and her involvement in regional campaigns and the arts community has kept her in the public eye.
