7/23/2019 Shashi Reflection

1/1

What I learnt from the hindi movie title English Vinglish is that Shashi a

mother of two children who cannot speak in English very well.The story is about how

Shashi tried to learn english when she lived for certain times in New ork city. !nd

this movie" English Vinglish" is a comeback for a woman from her heart#broken

$ourney to a happy one.She had $oined the English class because she want to speak

English. She felt very sad because she had been threatened badly by her hausband

and her daughter spoke rudely to her saying that she never good in reading and

talking English. In many scenes" whenever Shashi is put down for her lack of English

knowledge" it%s the husband who is at fault. This man" who is supposed to be the

e&ual life partner for his wife" never treated her as his e&ual. !ctually not even as a

worthy human being. !nd when its his responsibility to bring up his children with

good basic discipline" he allows his daughter to talk with disrespect to her mother. 'e

has failed as a husband and as a father. (ut every scene in the English class"

beautifully portrays the building up of self confidence for Shashi and I actually loved

it. I still love the way she kept telling )entrepreneur* to herself and doing a $ig and

being happy. +inally" when Shashi thanks the +rench man" for helping her to feel

good about herself" I totally understood how important is feeling good to her. She had

been deprived of that feeling for a long time in her life. !nd it is also important for the

husband to stand by the woman for all that she is and vice versa" for a great happy

family bonding. !t the end"Shashi did well in speaking English during her niece,s

wedding ceremony and her teacher"-avid certificated her with an ecellent result for

her last eam at the same day.
