All forms of performance that can be captured by the human eye excite me, says Umashree
Actress, theatre veteran, and politician Umashree is set to return to the stage later this month, taking on the titular role in the acclaimed play Sharmishte. Theatre, she says, is a space she cherishes deeply, especially since her artistic roots lie in rangabhoomi (the stage). So what excites her more: stage or screen? 'Any kind of acting — street plays, stage performances, impromptu acts, films… all forms of performance that can be captured by the camera called the human eye,' explains Umashree. 'I'M A HUMANIST; I BELIEVE THAT LIFE IS TO BE LIVED TO THE FULLEST' 'I've known life in all its colours and facets. I've seen the toughest times and embraced every high it's brought. But never have I thrown my hands up in despair when life got hard, nor have I lost myself in the highs. Life is to be lived in equal measure at all times. Irrespective of gender, everyone faces troubles — and it's the inner ability to overcome them that matters. I've dealt with my share of blows, and they've helped me develop the heft to face whatever comes. As a woman, I've learned that tolerance and patience are among the greatest assets one can possess. That's how one builds a life. And one should live it well. As an actor and as an individual, that's always been my motto,' says Umashree. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Mensualités: Bonne nouvelle pour les propriétaires étouffés par les crédits Bons plans propriétaires En savoir plus Undo 'SHARMISHTE IS A ROLE THAT IS CLOSE TO MY HEART BECAUSE SHE EMBODIES MY OWN OUTLOOK TOWARDS LIFE' A one-woman act directed by Chidambara Jambe, Sharmishte is a part Umashree sees herself in. 'She is not just a character from mythology, but one whose predicament is relatable not just to me, but to most women. She is a princess turned servant, a mother, and a silent witness—her journey is one of inner strength and unwavering truth,' she shares. Presented in the unfold format, the play sees Sharmishte lapse into the past, dive into the future, reflect on the present, and enter a space of deep introspection. 'What's commendable about her is her ability to acknowledge her mistakes and correct herself,' she says.
