Radha Bhardwaj Actor Which is the last play you liked and why? BABUJI DHEERE CHALNA, can’t wait for you to find out why! Your favourite adda to see a play… Prithvi- where else?! Your favourite playwright… Girish Karnad, Vijay Tendulkar, Mohan Rakesh Your favourite play-character… Kanupriya from HUM PAANCH A play you would like to see filmed. Why? DETECTIVE 9211- it’ll be blast to see it even more detailed! A novel/short story you would like to see on stage? Why? All Ruskin Bond stories as monologues like Our Tress Still Grow In Dehra and Roads to Mussoorie. A legendary writer who writes about my town plus he’s my neighbour in Mussoorie❤️ The most hilarious play you have seen… Seen it, performed it- JEENE BHI DO YAARO A play, which is over-hyped… SPOT ON An important play (but ignored): HUM PAANCH A play character you would like to “dialogue” with… It would be beautiful to talk to Romeo❤️ A passage from an important play that you can recite… A MONOLOGUE by Draupadi. A classical play that you should have read… ANDHA YUG, read it a few years ago, should’ve read it way before. A play that changed your perception about the theatre…. CHITRAGANDHA by Rabindranath Tagore, a story turned into a play by my first guru, NSD alumni, Mr. Shirish Dobhal. We opened it at Gaiety Theatre and President’s House, Shimla. I played a woman who used to fight wars but asks for a vardaan to turn feminine to win over Arjun. How do you regard the Mumbai/Indian theatre scene? We are there but i think it was much better a decade ago. Have you read any interesting books/articles concerning the theatre? Why did you find them interesting? I read Respect For Acting. It was a refreshing experience to learn about the same craft from another legendary actor from a different part of the world. Can you recall an event that was insightful, significant or simply humorous during your theatre journey? I once recall performing a play at Nasik where there was a new replacement for a character. That character almost fell on stage and the entire cast spent the rest of the scene trying not to laugh. Thank God for a comedy line after a few mins where everyone let out their laugh as if they were too much in the scene. Can you think of a foreign production that you found remarkable? Why? I haven’t experienced a foreign production on stage yet. Your favourite director/actor/music or set designer… Om sir, Gagan Dev Riar, Harshal Singh. A significant Indian production that you may have witnessed….. DETECTIVE 9211, One Flea Spare, Stories In A Song. Life in the theatre without the humble batata-wada or the cutting chai… or can you recall the best gastronomic experience you’ve had in the precincts of the theatre to date? I was not allowed to have chai all my life. When i joined Yatri, I refused to have chai on the first day. Om sir saw that and told me- “give it time” and cut to, now I’m a chai addict.
