She was happy that Kartiki Gonsalves, the film’s director and co-winner of the award, got to read out her speech in full, shining a light on conservation, ecological co-existence and the rights of indigenous communities. But she would have still liked to say a few words herself. Kartiki Gonsalves and Guneet Monga at the Oscars | Photo Credit: Reuters “It came as a shock and a surprise. It’s a mixed feeling,” Guneet shares. When she shouted out her line, she could catch, from the corner of her eye, Riz Ahmed, Ava DuVernay and Malala Yousafzai cheering in the audience. “The win and the support definitely surpassed everything.

She was driving towards Bangalore in southern India, following the outline of a forest she herself had grown up exploring, when she saw something that fascinated her: The elephant had wound its trunk around the arm of the man (Bomman) walking with him. “I was just so amazed to see this tiny little elephant,” Gonsalves tells LAMag. “All along I had seen such large elephants and mahouts (a person who rides and cares for elephants) looking after elephants and so on. But this was really special. “Bomman noticed my curiosity and he beckoned to me. I pulled my car over and jumped out and joined them. We walked down to the river. And Raghu (the elephant) went...
