The Afsar Bitiya actress Mitali Nag, who impressed one and all with her powerful acting in the show, is also a theatre artist. One thing that she always stayed firm on was about not leaving theatre for television.
The actress always took a flight from Mumbai to the place where her play was to be held when she had a play to be performed. Mitali, who plays a Dravidian princess in the play Mohenjodaro by Akashaditya Lama said, “It is a beautifully written play which has love, action, drama, heartbreak etc. The protagonist of the play Akshat is in love with her. She is also in love with him but is in denial. The climax is beautiful and comes with a nice social message.”
“From the statues in Mohenjodaro two distinct figures were extracted- one was that of a priest and the other was of the dancing girl. Mitali plays the dancing girl. She is a very dedicated artiste,” she added.
Elaborating on her double role of Draupadi and Gandhari in the play Mahabharata, she said, “We have picked the best parts of Krishna’s life in the play. It is a musical packed with songs and dances. Playing both Draupadi and Gandhari is challenging. Both are very powerful women who had to tackle with different kinds of difficult situations in their lives. The play had a grand opening in Udaipur in January. The first show received such a grand response from the viewers that we have indeed created a benchmark for ourselves. We will try to raise the benchmark every time.”
We wish the actress all the best for both the important parts of her life, television and theatre. Hope she continues to flourish in both the worlds.
