Shakuntala Devi , first Indian female mathematician who belonged to a normal middle class family , from earning bread for her family by doing mathematical shows in England in her signature colorful sarees and pigtails to being denoted as " Human computer "or getting name in the Guinness book of world record marked her name in the history of Mathematics
She did India proud at every stage of her life but what we get to see in newspapers and other new platforms about a celebrity or an achiever, is that all they have done. Their personal struggles that might have hit them harder stay behind the curtains.
Admi kyu....main sabse badi aurat banugi " little Shakuntala states when she started earning bread for the family.
Based on the life of Shakuntala Devi, Vidhya Balan is seen playing her role in the movie Shakuntala Devi and actor Sanya Malhotra can be seen as her daughter Anupama Banerji.
The movie has beautifully highlighted the relationship between the mother and daughter duo but did never forget to show the achievements of Shakuntala simultaneously.
Vidhya Balan stole the show , she charismatically portrayed the journey of the younger Shakuntala who is earning for her family by doing shows in England to a vulnerable mother who is trying every bit to be a perfect mother.
She wrote a book on homosexuality which is first of it's kind in India. From learning astrology to fighting politics against Indira Gandhi , she did it all , all that she wanted in life. Sankuntala was blunt and much ahead the time which made her different from others of her age.
The life of Shakuntala Devi is the best pick to show all that an ambitious aspiring woman suffers to balance her personal and professional lives. The movie is quite relaxing and good to watch with family.
This is interesting 💕💕
