[edit] Family

Ms. Sastrowardoyo is the daughter and only child of the late Ariawan Sastrowardoyo (1955-1995) and Dewi Parwati Sastrowardoyo (née Setyorini). Her paternal grandparents are Dr. Sumarsono Sastrowardoyo, a retired physician and surgeon (and author of the memoir Kembali ke Uteran (Return to Uteran)), and the late Ina Sastrowardoyo.

She is the niece of the artist Marina Joesoef and Dr. Aswin W. Sastrowardoyo, currently a physician and formerly guitarist and singer with Chaseiro[2], a music group of the 1970's and 80's; and the grand-niece of, among others, Sunario (1902-1997), Indonesia's minister of foreign affairs from 1953 to 1956; Dra. Sukanti Suryochondro, a former instructor in women's studies at the University of Indonesia; and Subagio Sastrowardoyo (1924-1995), a noted poet and literary critic.

A screenplay based on Kembali ke Uteran is in the works, with plans for Ms. Sastrowardoyo to play her own great-grandmother in the film adaptation.

Her family name is derived from sastra (Sanskrit, writings) and wardaya (Sanskrit, heart), so literally means "writings of the heart."

Her paternal great-grandfather, Sutejo Sastrowardoyo, traced the family's ancestry back to 15th century Java.
