she became his killer. The woman is Kiranjit Ahluwalia, an Asian wife in the UK who set fire to her husband and killed him after years of domestic abuse and repeated rapes.
Her story, well chronicled in her book Circles of Light, was picked up by Mundhra and made into a film starring none other than Aishwarya Rai. Now in India to promote Provoked with Kiranjit Ahluwalia and producer Sunanda Murli, Mundhra has some time to spare for our questions on the film and his choice of Ash.
But questions on Aishwarya can wait. Uppermost on our mind is what made the Bawandar director choose Circles of Light for a screen adaptation. "One line in the book that said in prison, I feel free. It gave me goose bumps when I read it," says Mundhra. What further strengthened the director's decision was the fact that Kiranjit wanted to save others like her from the same fate. She wanted to send the story forth to other battered wives. "I went up to her and told her that no matter how successful a book is, its reach is limited. I said Cinema as a medium has the widest reach, and if I can take your message to a wider audience, I would like to do that," the director recalls. Kiranjit's consent obtained, Aishwarya entered the scene. Asked how Kiranjit reacted to Ash, Mundhra says: "Kiranjit first saw the film at Cannes, where she held Aishwarya's hand and cried. It's not easy to have your life open up in front of strangers."
