Naina was born and raised in Pune, India. After completing a BA in Psychology and a PG Diploma in Social Communication Media, Naina worked in advertising for 2 years and then moved into directing music videos, promos and shorts. She joined the London Film School in 2010, keen to sharpen her technical skills and to learn the art of storytelling through image.

In March 2013, Naina graduated with an MA in Filmmaking (Direction) with her film Odh. She's currently back in India assisting on an independent feature film as well as developing her own feature idea.

Naina finds her inspirations in the mundane and daily lives of people. Through her films she tries to bring alive such stories by creating the extraordinary out of the ordinary, giving vibrancy to the dull.
