Naseeruddin Shah yelled at me after people applauded my back-to-back performances, says Amruta Subhash: ‘He said I would rather see you fail than…'
Amruta Subhash, the daughter of notable Marathi actress Jyoti Subhash, is known for her roles in projects like Lust Stories 2, Sacred Games, and Gully Boy, among others. A graduate from National School of Drama, Amruta often takes part is several plays. Once, when she performed at NSD, actor Naseeruddin Shah, an alumni of the drama school was present in the audience to watch the play. Amruta was proud as her scenes garnered much praise and applause. When she performed for the second time, she noticed, this time too the veteran actor was sitting in the audience watching her performance. A proud Amruta believed she was up for great compliments from the actor. However, that was not the case. Speaking to Lallantop, Amruta shared, 'I was doing a play called Trishna. I had a scene where I had to cry, and people would applaud that scene. That sort of gave me this feeling that 'Wow, I am doing wonders.' I was too proud of myself. Ahankaar hogaya tha (I was full of pride). Naseeruddin sir came, he watched two of my shows. He noticed people clapping for me. I was under the impression that sir is going to praise me a lot. After the show, we were all standing at a tea stall outside NSD. I saw Naseer sir walking towards me but I pretended as though I didn't see him coming at all. He came to me, and he was like, 'Amruta', I was like, 'Yes sir', and he then said, 'I watched your play' and the proud me was like, 'Okay and?' and he then said, 'Beta, I am concerned.' I was shocked. I was like I received so much applause for my work, why is he so concerned?'

He was very angry. He said in a higher tone, 'I would rather see you failing doing something new rather than doing the same thing again and again for claps, okay?' I was like, 'Okay sir, sorry'. He then gave me a lot of gyaan. He said you're forcing yourself on the character and not letting it explore anything new. You will be repetitive person. Your career will be over. That incident changed things in me. I understood where I went wrong.' Amruta and Naseeruddin shared screens in Nandita Das' directorial debut film Firaaq (2008). Naseeruddin Shah, originally a theatre artiste, is also the founder of theatre group Motley Productions. The production house stages plays in English, Hindi and Urdu around the world.

Trishna
Forget the elevated chains, the Michelin magnets, the Desi pubs and the Indian-Irish fusion joints (alright, there's only one of those). Trishna in Marylebone pre-dates and outshines them all, a graceful doyenne, gliding across the hectic ballroom of London's high-end Indian restaurant scene. There's nothing particularly flash about Trishna's baby-blue panelling and simple wooden furniture. It doesn't scream 'design consultancy has been here' or 'immersive dining concept'. Instead the vibe is straightforward and friendly. This is a 'normal' neighbourhood restaurant that achieved (well earned) city-wide fame, jacked up the prices (understandably) and lived happily ever after. It's your talented and hard-working grandmother, happily remarried to a millionaire. If you can accept the cost, Trishna will deliver every time The considerable cost of eating at Trishna is reflected in the food's quality. Everything bar a few starters is top notch, the kind of delicate-yet-punchy south Asian cuisine you'd be mad to try replicating at home. A perfect example of a 'Trish dish' is the bream: jade-like slices of fish, marinated with coriander and green chilli, served with a floral tomato salad. Not only is it as eye-catching as a David Hockney still life, the bream has a high-wire balance of flavours, cooked with expert precision in the tandoor. Another signature offering is the legendary aloo chat, a lip-smacking lattice of chutney and sev, crowning a chickpea and potato nest. It's almost as if the folks at Trishna saw Gymkhana's famous aloo chaat, had a taste, rolled up their sleeves and said 'hold my (Cobra) beer'. The hits don't end there. Pray silence for Trishna's Dorset brown crab - a dish that staff bring out with a silent-yet-discernible pride, like a Soviet leader on parade day, watching his troops roll out a nuclear missile. It's a nourishing bowl of chive-and-chilli-topped crab meat, imbued with a truly shocking (in a good way) depth of flavour. Not only the best thing we ate at Trishna, it's one of the best things we've eaten all year. Hot on its heels in the tasty stakes was the beef shortrib, a hockey puck of stewed and shredded meat, atop a chickpea dosa raft floating on a pulsating bed of coconut and shallots. Meanwhile, the Goan prawn biriyani - served with a cute pink-peppercorn raita - is a delicate delight, the shining antithesis of claggy, heavy curried rice dishes the world over. Some of the starters are comparatively one-note. And the desserts, as you'd expect, aren't really the point. But if you can accept the cost, Trishna will deliver every time. The vibe Quietly confident south Indian fine-dining establishment, masquerading as a 'normal restaurant'. The food South Indian cooking that packs flavour and nuance into every dish.

Both were exceptionally well made and balanced.
