Sunita Rajwar, a onetime fantasist who yearned to be Madhuri Dixit, is today a name to reckon with in the Indian entertainment world. Her story is one of determination, talent, and a relentless quest for stardom in an industry where privilege is more often than not the clinching factor.
 
Early life and ambitions:
  • She grew up with a truck driver father in Haldwani, Uttarakhand. Sunita grew up watching films by taking her to cinema halls every Friday.
  • Madhuri Dixit had inspired her to become an actress, and she was accepted at the prestigious National School of Drama.
Challenges and setbacks
  • Ever since she moved to Mumbai in the late 1990s, Sunita was stereotypically typed as a housemaid, despite being professionally trained.
  • Her cameo in the film Main Madhuri Dixit Banna Chahti Hoon (2003) was typical of her dreams but did not earn her instant popularity.
  • Financial issues and company rejection nearly made her abandon acting.
  • Breakthrough and recognition:
  • Her performance in Gullak (2019) as the mother of Bittu was a gamechanger, followed by her comingofage performance as Kranti Devi in Panchayat.
  • She also featured in highly acclaimed films like Kedarnath, Stree, Shubh Mangal Saavdhan, and India's Cannes entry in the film Santosh.
Personal accomplishments:
Sunita was in the limelight for filing a case of defamation against Nawazuddin Siddiqui for personal statements in his memoir and seeking compensation of ₹2 crore.
 
Expectation:
Sunita Rajwar is being honored today not just for her acting but also for her journey—a tale of courage and determination in the face of adversity.
