Early life and education

Gauri Shinde was born and brought up in Pune,[3] where she studied at St Joseph's High School and later graduated from Symbiosis Institute of Mass Communication in Pune.[4] Her aspiration towards film-making started right from the days at the end of her college life.[5]

She made her feature film debut as a director with English Vinglish (2012), a film by Shinde's own relationship with her mother, who ran her own pickle business out of her home in Pune, and was a Marathi-speaking woman, who didn't speak English well, which embarrassed Shinde as a child. As she said in an interview, "I made this film to say sorry to my mother."[3] The film was released on 14 September 2012 at the Toronto Film Festival[7] followed by its commercial release in India and worldwide on 5 October 2012, and went on to receive both critical and commercial success.[8][9] Besides the Filmfare Award for Best Debut Director, she was awarded the 'Laadli National Media Awards for Gender Sensitivity'.[10]
