Her Instagram post wasn’t just about pretty pictures. It came with a heartfelt note. Nandita revealed that her “Busan diaries” were finally closing, even though she had left the festival and the city ten days earlier. She playfully wrote that time is just a way we organize things. So, it doesn’t really matter when she finished her trip or when she decided to share her memories.

She shared highlights from both the opening and closing ceremonies. She also posted about the time she spent with friends, both new and old. These little and big moments, she noted, truly make up life. Even though it felt like a long time had passed, she was happy these experiences were now part of her cherished memories.
Fashion Forward, Handloom Heart
Beyond the beautiful moments, Nandita also gave a shout-out to her stylish outfits. She thanked Laila Tyabji for a gorgeous Kanjeevaram sari. Nandita wore it to show respect for handloom artistry. She said she was happy to share the sari with her family and friends. For her closing night look and other outfits worn in between, she credited designer Urvashi Kaur. Nandita praised the clothes for being both comfortable and beautiful, all made from handloom fabrics. She even teased her followers, promising to share soon where she went after Busan and why.
