Amidst celebrating her 35-year theatre festival, she revealed that Amar Talwar surprised her with a throwback image from the 1980s.

It's heartwarming to see such camaraderie. In an industry often focused on films, it's great to see theatre artists celebrating their own journey. Also, very excited for "Songs of Paradise" – highlighting Kashmiri culture and music is much needed.

The throwback photo part is so relatable! We've all had those hairstyle regrets 😂. But seriously, 35 years! Her work in Monsoon Wedding and The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel is iconic. A true legend of Indian stage and screen.

Respectfully, while the celebration is wonderful, I sometimes feel mainstream media coverage of theatre is limited to such anniversaries of established groups. What about the daily struggles of smaller, newer theatre companies in Mumbai and elsewhere? They need the spotlight too.

Lillete Dubey is an inspiration! At 72, she's still so active and passionate. It shows that art has no age limit. More power to her and the entire Primetime family. Can't wait to watch her new film.

This is the real stuff. Theatre actors are the backbone of acting talent in India. They bring that depth to films later. Hats off to Lillete ma'am for keeping the flame alive for 35 years. Here's to many more! 👏
