Early Life and Education
Renu was born into a Punjabi Family. Her family always supported her and encouraged her to pursue a career in Hindi Film Industry. When Renu applied to the Film and Television Institute of India Pune in 1974, editing was only her second choice. She had applied for direction and did not get through the direction interview. But she did pass the editing interview and was persuaded by her parents to go ahead with it. She finally passed out of Editing course in 1976, and entered the hitherto all-male bastion of film editing in India.

“I envy neither the heart nor the head of any legislator who has been born to an inheritance of privileges, who has behind him ages of education, dominion, civilization, and Christianity, if he stands opposed to the passage of a national education bill, whose purpose is to secure education to the children of those who were born under the shadow of institutions which made it a crime to read.”
