As a child, Samruddhi Porey was envious of her best friend’s father having the prefix ‘Dr’ before his name. While growing up, she longed for the tag but became a microbiologist. After marriage, she ended up studying law. 

Destiny later made Porey a filmmaker and today, after earning critical acclaim and two national awards for her first film, Mala Aai Vhaychay, she no longer needs a tag with her name to feel good.
