Several years ago, the Roys—a family of film buffs— piled onto a scooter and headed to a local theatre in Buxar to watch Hum Aapke Hai Koun..!, a newly released Hindi film. The youngest in the family, Charu Shree Roy, had watched in stunned silence as Renuka Shahane rolled down the staircase in a scene from the film. That compactness of that scene has stayed with her through the decades and has been the magnet which drew her to films. So entrenched is her love for films that every corner of her home—from the masks on the walls to the lamp shades and a lot in between—mirrors this passion. She is married to Amit, a naval commander, who also embraces his wife’s passion with equal gusto.
