Director, dancer, goodwill advocate for the United Nations: Aishwaryaa
Rajinikanth Dhanush is so much more than the daughter of a legendary
actor, or the wife of southern cinema s biggest star. Growing up in
Bangalore and then Madras, in a household that resolutely kept out any
hint of her father s superstardom, she was a quiet, introverted child
whose greatest pleasure was a visit to Marina Beach and an occasional
meal out. It was not cinema but law that became a preoccupation when she
started thinking about college and career but fate, and her mother, had
other plans for her. Aishwaryaa writes with disarming honesty about
life as Rajinikanth s daughter, of falling in love and raising two boys
with Dhanush, of fighting her own demons and finding satisfaction in a
career of her choice. She reflects on the many roles a woman has to
juggle at home and outside in her case, under the watchful gaze of
cameras and celebrity-watchers. Intensely personal, but also
inspirational, Aishwaryaa s memoir is an unusually frank insight into
growing up in cinema-land. A playful meditation on the joys and
difficulties of being a woman in this age, Standing on an Apple Box is
as much a celebration of individual fulfilment as it is of family.
