R Balki and Gauri Shinde

Gauri Shinde's big screen debut marked the comeback of one of Bollywood's most loved actresses, Sridevi, who essayed the role of a homemaker attempting to rebuild a broken identity through an alien language she decides to learn. 'English Vinglish' (2012) was a runaway success, and instantly brought Gauri into the same league as her successful director husband, R Balki.
