The writer of ‘Corporate’ and ‘Fashion’ Ajay Monga will be directing his next film based on a common female problem Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS). Ajay’s film is inspired by the real-life struggle of actress Harleen Sethi.

“After Harleen enlightened me, I deep-dived into it. A year ago, my daughter Simran was diagnosed with it as well. It is known to affect a lot of women, many of whom go into depression and some develop suicidal tendencies,” informs Ajay’

He further added that in her early days, Harleen would panic about advancing auditions, fearful of sudden pimple outbreaks. “She has now come out of it beautifully,” he praises.

Harleen also shared her experience saying, “For the first six to seven years, I was fighting it superficially. I went to many doctors, but no one could figure out the problem. Mom suggested a blood test to check for hormonal issues. That’s when we discovered it was PCOS and started dealing with it properly.”

She added, “I realized PCOS is more of a lifestyle-related ailment and worked on my diet, work-outs, and mindset. I will be helping Ajay whenever he requires my guidance.”

PCOS may result in infertility, gestational diabetes or pregnancy-induced high blood pressure and miscarriage or premature birth.

When asked if Ajay will cast Harleen as the lead in his film and he says that he is currently auditioning other actresses as the role requires a younger girl. “I’m working with Harleen on another subject,” he concludes.
