The one-act play, stitched with memory, humour, defiance, and truth, has managed to create quite a stir in the theatre circles.

After making a mark for herself in theatre and movies, Ssujata is all set to explore the OTT platforms, which have slowly evolved into spaces for truth-telling.

Expressing her interest, she said: â€œTheatre taught me presence, cinema gave me visibility, but OTT offers depth,â€ she reflected.

â€œThereâ€™s finally room for characters who breathe, bruise, and bloom", Ssujata added.

For those who do not know, Ssujata rose to fame with her breakthrough role in "Pratighaat" alongside Nana Patekar and went on to deliver several unforgettable performances in films such as "Pratigyabadhh" with Mithoon Chakraborty, "Dhartiputra" with Mamooty, Jayaprada and Farah, "Jung" with Aditya Panscholi, Mithoon Chakraborty and Ajay Devgan, "Meri Jung" with Jeetendra, "Yateem" with Sunny Deol and Farah, "Tyagi" with Rajnikant and Shakti Kapoor, "Gunaah" with Sunny Deol and Dimple Kapadia, "Gunehgar Kaun" with Raj Babbar and Paresh Rawal, "Sadhana" with Rishi Kapoor and Raj Babbar, "Dhaad" with KK Menon, Raghubir Yadav and Sendeep Kulkarni, "Gunahon Ka Devta" with Mithoon Chakraborty, Aditya Panscholi and Danny Denzongpa, "Judge Mujrim" with Jeetendra, "Anmol" with Rishi Kapoor, "Teen Deewarein" with Naseeruddin Shah and Jackie Shroff, "Kanwarlal" with Jeetendra and Raj Babbar.

Ssujata has also been a part of television shows such as "Andaz", "Kya Hoga Nimmo Ka", and "Shrikant".

Despite doing several movies and shows, theatre has always been her heartbeat. In "Chitkar", she portrayed a woman grappling with paranoid schizophrenia â€” a soul-shattering performance that ran for over 800 shows across the globe.

Now, her latest venture, "Ssujata Rangrangili" shows Ssujata portraying various shades of womanhood in this one-woman play. The play has been receiving a positive response from the critics.

Her performance in Chitkar was absolutely mind-blowing! Saw it in Delhi back in 2010. If she brings that kind of intensity to OTT, it will be a game-changer. More power to artists who choose substance over glamour.

As someone who recently discovered Indian cinema, it's fascinating to learn about these veteran actors. The depth she mentions about OTT is exactly what international audiences appreciate about Indian content. Looking forward to seeing her work!

While I admire her work, I hope OTT platforms actually give meaningful roles to senior actors instead of just token appearances. Many great actors get sidelined for younger stars even on streaming. Hope she gets the substantial roles she deserves.
