From these internationally recognized projects to my early theatre roots and my journey as a multilingual performer, I’ve built my creative path around stories that spark conversation, challenge assumptions, and deepen human connection.

Being part of India’s multilingual theatre community allowed me to travel with my work across the country, performing in over a hundred shows and exploring the full emotional range of live storytelling. One of my most cherished milestones was bringing the first‑ever dramatic performance to a TEDx stage.
