Sandhya Suri has always "wanted to do what she wanted to". This headstrong attitude would see the British-Indian study mathematics in Germany, leave her home England for stints in Congo, Samoa, Japan and France, make two documentaries, and work with NGOs in India studying violence against women. The latter, along with an image of a female police officer facing angry Nirbhaya protesters in New Delhi, would inspire her first fictional feature, Santosh.
