Life comes full circle for Namit Das with the revival of theatre

Actor

BIRTHDAY BOY’S SPECIAL DAY

What can be more special than the memory of a birthday. Actor Tusshar Kapoor took a trip down the memory to share this picture from his childhood birthday celebration. Don’t miss the kid standing next to him, it is Hrithik Roshan.

Namit Das starred in a number of popular shows on streaming platforms last year and levelled with the changes that the entertainment industry underwent, but his love for theatre remained as is.

Apart from a packed slate, he has two more reasons to celebrate 2021 — the revival of theatre after almost a year and the 10th anniversary of his play Stories In A Song. Das will be celebrating these big milestones by performing in the theatre after a year. Directed by Sunil Shanbag, Das’s upcoming play is based on Hindustani classical music singer Shubha Mudgal and tabla player, Aneesh Pradhan.

Excited to be celebrating the comeback of theatre by performing live at Prithvi theatre, Das says, “Prithvi is a mecca for all the theatre artists in Bombay and such greats have come from there. Having the theatre shut for a year was a huge shock. The revival of theatre just reminds me of where it all began for me.”

The Aarya actor remarks that he feels as though his life has come full circle as he makes a comeback to theatre, which is fittingly timed with the 10th anniversary of Stories In A Song.

He adds, “I can never forget the moment I went backstage for the first time in Prithvi. I had always seen shows and performances there and suddenly due to those experiences, my point of view changed and a mental role reversal happened within me. It was one of the biggest moments of my life.”
