Belonging to the celebrated and generously loved Akhtar family, Zoya has prosperously made a mark for herself. Her sessions stimulate individuality, expressiveness and alacrity in her audience. Zoya, an award-winning director and screenwriter, adores gossiping about the mindset of India’s youth and gender equality.
 
The identity behind illustrious movies like Luck by Chance, Dil Dhadakne Do, Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, Gully Boy, Zoya is one of the the very rare filmmakers who has aesthetically and pleasingly captured contemporary India. The recipient of multiple awards for directing and screenwriting, Zoya’s films revolve around realistic, relatable situations, making them both approachable and critically distinguished. Zoya has also been applauded for her online series, 'Made in Heaven', for impenitently portraying the dynamics of the society.
 
Campaigning issues like gender inequality and sexism in the heavily patriarchal, male-oriented directorial space of Bollywood, Zoya has struggled hard to secure a position for herself that is unparalleled. Her films have a certain instinctiveness that is difficult to reproduce, making them stand out because of her emblematic subtlety.
