About the Film
Abandoned by her mother at 4, married off at 12 to an abusive husband, a mother herself at 13 — there is little in Baby Haldar’s traumatic childhood to suggest that she would become an emerging star on India’s literary horizon. This film is on the life of a domestic worker from Gurgaon who was inspired to write the story of her life by her employer and has published her first book in Bengali, Hindi & English. Baby Haldar works for Prabodh Kumar, who encouraged her to write about her life. The resulting book, "A Life Less Ordinary," is both a critical and commercial success.
