Sonam Kapoor Instagram – All firsts are beautiful, aren’t they? The sheer joy and excitement a “first experience” brings to you is unparalleled. Imagine having this feeling while not just making India’s first film ever, but also being the first female editor on it. That, in a nutshell, is Saraswatibai Phalke’s life. At a time when it was widely unheard of for a woman to be a part of the entertainment industry, Saraswatibai went on to become India’s first ever film editor. Although, the Dadasaheb Phalke Awards are known to be the epitome of acknowledgement for actors, little do people know about the Saraswatibai Dadasaheb Phalke Awards – which are awarded to female technicians and actors who have achieved a remarkable feat in their respective fields. When I was introduced to her contributions to the Indian Film Industry, it did not take me a minute to be in awe of her sheer brilliance, determination and grit. Diluted by her husband’s success, her work often goes unnoticed – which is why in this edition of #WomenInFilm, I wanted to do some justice to her legacy. A true multi-tasker, her relentless hustle never fails to inspire me. Have you seen Raja Harishchandra? Do you know any other women who’re kicking butt while breaking glass ceilings? Let me know your inputs down below, guys. I’m reading all of them. ;) #WomenInFilm #SaraswatibaiPhalke #DadasahebPhalke #FeminismInArt #FeminismInIndia
