17th May at Veda Chaubara, The most wonderful surprise that came by itself, Sooraj Barjatya sir with Vineeta Barjatya ma’am came to watch our show. We are still absorbing the feeling of meeting the most humble filmmaker of our Indian Film Industry. We are grateful for your presence Sir. We love you and we love your films. Learning and taking our cultural values with so much love and respect to our generation. Jai Chhathi Maiya. 😇🙏🏼 Our next show is on 12th of June at Rangshila and 14th June at The box, Pune. Looking forward to seeing you all 🙏🏼❤️ #maaikiaakhrichhath #newplay #rangraahi #chhathpooja

What more could we ask for when The Sooraj Barjatya himself comes to watch the play? So humbled to have you sir. A very special moment. Your humility and warmth have given us even more motivation to keep moving forward. This journey just got even more special. We’re truly inspired! [Grateful, inspired, Mumbai theatre, MaaKiAakhriChitthi]

Some stories don't just play out on stage; they seep right into your soul and stay there. "माई की आखिरी छठ ?" was exactly that—a theatrical masterpiece that left me with goosebumps and tears of pure joy. 🥹✨love @mithilray The play revolves around the sacred, deeply emotional festival of Chhath Puja, weaving a narrative around a mother ("Maai") and her family. What makes it so impressive is how it handles heavy emotional themes with delicate, "cute" moments of everyday family banter. The nostalgia of packing the thekua, the anxiety of the fast, and the unspoken bonds of a household are captured so authentically that you can’t help but smile through teary eyes. माँ, मिट्टी और वो सूखता आम का पेड़ 🥭 The Maa-Beta bond was depicted so beautifully, it instantly blurred the lines between the stage and my own reality. @its_mayasharma , you were the absolute soul of the play as Maai. And Bittu (so remarkably crafted by @garvitahuja_ felt like watching my own reflection. वह सूखते हुए आम के पेड़ को बेइंतहा प्यार से सींचना... was such an intense, silent metaphor for how we try to nurture our fading roots. It beautifully reminded me of गाँव की वो छोटी-छोटी बातें that we city-dwellers have so tragically traded for concrete walls. The City Boy's Dilemma & Sibling Mirrors 🪞 Bittu’s arrival from the city, his emotional disconnect with Maai, and his restless frustration to escape back to his urban bubble was incredibly raw. Enter Vimla didi. @ananyaghosh_ _ , you were spectacular! When Vimla explains to Bittu the stark reality of his privilege in the house—बेटे और बेटी का वो सदियों पुराना फ़र्क़ that unfortunately still breathes in our modern world—I instantly connected it to my own sibling, Vasu. सिल-बट्टा vs. ChatGPT 📱 Are we losing our heartbeat to algorithms? The play sharply captures our modern reliance on software and robotics, but asks a deeply poignant question: Emotions का क्या करें? वो भी तो ज़रूरी हैं। Because no matter how advanced we get, "सिल-बट्टे पर पिसी चटनी और मिक्सर वाली चटनी में हमेशा एक फ़र्क़ होता है।" REST IN COMMENTS

The rehearsal room is where actors are made. Not in theory. Not in exercises. In the room — with a script, a partner, a director, and a performance date on the wall. Actor in the Play gives you exactly that. Ten weekends of real rehearsals, real training, and real performances in front of a real audience. This year, voice specialist Asif Ali Beg — the voice behind Frozen, The Incredibles and Madagascar — joins the room to work on the one thing most actors overlook. Their voice.
