Ash has been to the Cannes as a jury member and four years ago her film Devdaas was screened at another Cannes film festival. 
And now reports are that Ash’s forthcoming film Provoked will be screened at the festival this year. ‘Provoked’ is a film is a real life story of a battered housewife Kiran Ahluwalia. The film also stars Naveen Andrews and is produced by Dr. J Murli Manohar. ‘Provoked’ will be independently distributed by an American company – Lee Daniel's Entertainment. The film, about a woman's struggle for dignity, has been directed by Jagmohan Mundhra . 'Provoked' is based on the real life story of a woman NRI Kiran Ahluwalia who showed exemplary courage after suffering physical, mental and sexual torture for ten long years. Then, she thought of making her husband Deepak realize at least for once the suffering she has been passing through. She planned to burn the feet of her husband so that the latter is unable to run after her and thus torture her. She tried to put fire to his bed while he was asleep at night. Since Deepak got up, Kiran threw the burning matchstick on Deepak's bed. This injured Deepak seriously and he died after ten days of hospitalization. Kiran was arrested for murdering her husband. The court ordered life imprisonment for her, ignoring the husband's torture of Kiran for ten years. An NGO working among South Asian women named South hall Black Sisters, appealed to the court for revision of the order. The court reduced her sentence to three years and three months. Kiran was released from the prison on September 25th, 1992. Related Aishwarya Rai Devdaas Provoked Naveen Andrews Jagmohan Mundhra |
