She has creditors knocking at her door almost every day and technicians calling her up and demanding money at odd hours – all this because she 'dared to dream.

Nisha Chainani, who has assisted film-makers like Rakesh Roshan, Harry Baweja and Aziz Mirza, now faces a bleak future after nothing went right for her directorial debut Marathon. The film-maker who dreamt about making a movie has fallen to the ground with a thud and she says that it hurts like hell. Things have come to such a state that Nisha says she even thought of jumping out of her balcony.

Tears swelling up in her eyes, Nisha says she frequently suffers from bouts of depression. "I have a debt and unpaid bills of about Rs 2 crore sitting on my head. I don't want vanish into oblivion, I want to fight. But I am losing my strength. I am trying to be strong," says Nisha.

Marathon starred Mandira Bedi, Samir Dattani, Purab Kolhi, Bikram Saluja, Nausheen Ali Sardar and Nauheed Cyrusi. Just when the film was about to release, media houses received a press release saying that the court has stalled its release.

"It was a shock. I was desperate because I needed to pay my technicians and for that I needed to release my film. But still I was hopeful of releasing my film. However, the situation turned bleak with each passing day," Nisha adds.

With a failing health, Nisha resisted even an attempt to photograph her. "Can you please use my photos that were sent during the promotions? I don't want to be photographed. I am not too well," she snaps off.
