You might remember Sunita Rajwar for her recent role in Stree 2 as Janna’s mother or as the strong-willed Kranti Devi in Panchayat. But on the road to stardom, she did not have the glitz and glamour of the entertainment world lighting her way. Instead, all she carried was a gullak (piggy bank) full of dreams, determination, and passion.
Born in Haldwani, a small town nestled in the hills of Uttarakhand, her early life was far from the spotlight. Her father, a truck driver, worked tirelessly to provide for the family, and it was his love for cinema that planted the first seeds of acting in young Sunita.
“For years, I was hesitant to discuss my father’s job,” Sunita shared, “but I’ve grown to understand it’s something to be proud of, not ashamed of.”
