THE PRINCESS OF KAPURTHALA
EPIC MOVIE IN PRODUCTION!
As Variety reports, director and scriptwriter Michael Radford is preparing THE PRINCESS OF KAPURTHALA (La Princesa De Kapurthala) epic movie together with Manuel Estudillo. Based on the books
“The Princess of Kapurthala” and “The Dream of the Maharani” by Elisa Vaszquez de Gey, it will be a trilogy following the true life story of Spanish girl Anita Delgado, who became the Maharani Prem Kaur of Kapurthala in India at the age of 16. Not just a pretty face that the Maharajah falls in love with, Anita is also a strong and determined woman who learns everything needed to become a princess, and later uses these charms to leave her mark on the society of that time! Besides the love story, the film will trace the Princess’s popularity. She appeared on newspaper and magazine covers and was deeply involved with social causes. She helped soldiers fighting in World War I, travelled to the war front in France and built hospitals there. She also
tried to stop the marriages of underage Indian girls and created a fund to support widows, among others. The production should start early next year both in Spain and in India.

Ohh this sounds so good and original. Looking forward to it.
ReplyDeleteI imagined you knew about her already :)
DeleteYes and No. I don’t know the details of Anita’s life, but her name crept into a list I made once of foreign ladies married to nawabs and Maharajas. One of the British Raj’s ugliest traits is that the colonial authorities recognized the marred of a white man and a Hindu woman, but they did not accept white women marrying what they called “blacks”, even if the husband was a prince. Those women were considered as prostitutes and treated as such. They were not invited to official dinners and events, were never treated as royalty and once in England were not allowed to be presented to the sovereign.
DeleteHow delightful of the Brits, I am not surprised at all. Hindi men have better diamonds so the Brits were jealous.
DeleteFinally some princess with normal weight..
ReplyDeleteShe probably did have plenty of lovely food over in Indjah!
DeleteShe sounds like a woman to admire! Did so much in her life. Can we get some female leaders like this for our girls to look up to instead of the dumbass celebs that are shoved in their faces these days?
ReplyDeleteNo, empowering today is showing tits and fugly ass like Lizo, or being a vile murderer like Hilary and Pelosy.
