Meet actress, daughter of truck driver, who faced humiliation, then starred in Big movies
Despite the fact that she has appeared in several films, her breakthrough performance came in Gullak and panchayat as kranti Devi. She recently opened out to the public about her personal journey, her challenges, and how she overcame her lower-middle-class upbringing to become a famous person.
"Back then I couldn't understand the depth of the fact that my father was a truck driver and he is making us study in such a big institution," Sunita recounted in an interview with wallet PLATFORM' target='_blank' title='digital-Latest Updates, Photos, Videos are a click away, CLICK NOW">digital Commentary.
"I used to feel ashamed," she added. How can I explain that my father is a truck driver in a school like this when kids in my school used to have their drivers drop them off and staff make their lunches?"
At Ramleela, she used to dance as a youngster. Sunita eventually relocated to Nainital.
Being pigeonholed into roles of domestic assistant Sunita Rajwar had to abandon her acting career. She considered herself fortunate to have gained new fans for her performances as kranti Devi in panchayat and Bittu's mother in Gullak.
