Girish Karnad’s wedding album again

At the age of 35, playwright, filmmaker and actor, Girish Karnad achieved significant success in the art world, in which his films won the award and praise. His journey and life has been documented by the late actor-director himself in his memoir, This life in game (Originally written by him in Kannada, and later translated into English by him and Srinath Perur).

It is in this memoir that Girish shares the story of his birth. His mother had told her father a day during lunch: “And we thought not to have them.” When Girish demanded more to know, he was told how he felt that he had three children enough, so he booked an appointment with a doctor in Pune, but when the doctor did not show and the couple never returned. From this unexpected story, Girish gave his memoir to Dr. Madhumalathi dedicated to Gunn, which he attributed to his (and memoir) existence.

Untold story of a mother

In his autobiography, Girish writes sympathetically about his mother’s struggles to gain an education despite an early marriage, maternity and widow.

She did not just succeed in that discovery, but dared to design her second marriage, which gave herself another chance in family life. His new life brought him happiness, money, more achievements (his) to celebrate him. Nevertheless, Girish writes, he never “stopped ruining himself, rather than my father’s wife or as our mother, she had nothing that she could claim as her achievement.”
