I used to be one of the lead actors of a theatre group called Hetu when I was in medical school. Prithvi Theatre was our stomping ground. I'd got many positive reviews.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I grew up performing in theatre.
I went to drama school at NYU for serious acting. So I was doing Chekov and Sam Shepard plays.
I grew up seeing a lot of theatre, and it was theatre that really seduced me into acting - not film or television.
I had studied theater for three years in London when someone suggested me for the role.
I just wanted to be one of those actors who works at the National Theatre the whole time.
I have done a lot of theater.
I think theatre helped, only because it was acting experience. I got to work with a lot of directors.
I was never any good in the school theatrical productions. I always got a role like the March Hare. A Latin teacher told me I might make a good actress, and that stuck in my memory.
I never had any classes or went to theatre school like a lot of actors, so all of my training has been on stage with different directors. That was a pretty good school room.
There wasn't anyone in my family who was involved in the theatre. I saw a few amateur plays when I was growing up, but I can't think of anything that happened or anybody in particular who inspired me; it all came from within.
