In her recent interview, Guneet doled out all about her struggles and dedicated this win to her parents… She started working at the age of 16 and also said that her parents were tortured by their relatives…

Along with sharing Guneet's pic, they also wrote, ""I've lived a life of borrowed dreams. I grew up in Delhi, in a Punjabi middle class family. To the world we were happy–but no one knew what happened behind closed doors. My family was allotted 1 room in a big house. Because of the fight between brothers over property- my mom was suppressed. They abused her... Once, the argument got to a point where they tried to burn her alive-my father called the police, grabbed us & ran out of there.

We built our life anew. Eventually, my mom started dreaming of having a 3 bedroom house on a ground floor with 3 steps by the entrance- So specific! I became determined to buy 1 for her. At 16 I started working while balancing schoolwork–I sold cheese on streets, was an announcer at PVR, a DJ, an anchor...you name it! In college, I began coming to Mumbai to work in films. I went from a coordinator, to being a production manager. Whatever I'd earn, I'd give it to my parents for our dream!

Slowly we pooled our savings & booked a house. But by the time it was ready, I lost my parents within 6 months of each other. My mom had throat cancer & my dad's kidneys failed... I was heartbroken.

Needing a change, I packed my bags, sold the house & moved to Bombay for work. I channeled my energy into films. My dreams then became my director's dreams. I was always on my feet & barely slept 4 hrs a day.

Each film was a challenge. Crowd-funding, international sales- but I loved it! I wanted to hear my mom's 'you did well' or my dad's 'proud of you'. I still remember my father had sold his gold kadaa to send me on my 1st school trip to USA- he wanted me to see the world, no matter how challenging it was for them.

So in my happiest times- whether it was at the Oscars or when we produced Gangs of Wasseypur & The Lunchbox.. Or when I launched my production house… all I wanted was my parents beside me.

But I know they're at peace where they are. Someday I'll see them again & get my 'well dones.' But for now, I'm going through life, collecting happy moments for them. I hope they can be proud that I've finally stopped borrowing dreams. I'm my own person now & maybe that in itself is a dream come true!"

The Elephant Whispers short film is a Tamil documentary which is helmed by filmmaker Kartiki Gonsalves. Although it is her debut movie, she directed it beautifully and showcased the story of a couple and their bond with an orphan elephant.

Congratulations 'The Elephant Whispers' team…
