Respect for the achievement, but I do wish we celebrated our own cultural icons and heads of state with the same fervour. Our theatre legends who dedicated life to Indian stages deserve this spotlight too.

The photo of him in traditional attire meeting the Queen is so powerful. It's a beautiful representation of carrying one's culture onto a global platform. Bombay Dreams was a phenomenal production.

Never knew about his theatre background! We mostly know him as the menacing villain from 90s movies. This is a lovely side to see. More power to artists who excel in multiple fields.
