In her latest Hindi play titled Silvatein, theatre personality Shatarupa Bhattacharyya attempts to delve into the complexity of romantic relationships, expressing thoughts on how theatre has provided a unique space for exploring such themes intellectually and emotionally. Drawing on her decade of theatre experience and numerous productions, Shatarupa shares that the process of writing and staging Silvatein has been both cathartic and empowering, offering closure and sparking meaningful conversations. Reflecting on the challenges posed by modern lifestyles, she notes how stress and technological distractions have eroded emotional connections in relationships, leading to a culture of instant gratification and a lack of investment in meaningful connections.The act of investing energy into resolving problems seems less common nowadays, with many opting to simply walk away or ignore them. Our fast-paced lives leave little space for deep emotional connections, as we are constantly caught up in a rush to keep up with everything, making building and nurturing relationships a low priority. Shatarupa's latest theatrical work draws on her personal encounters with relationships, inspired by the challenges and reflections she faced following failed connections. She shares that her play was born from the emotional turmoil of past relationships and the internal dialogues, emphasizing the significance of self-awareness and candid communication. Shatarupa stresses the importance of understanding one's emotions, triggers, and needs, not only for personal well-being but also for establishing and sustaining positive connections. Unhealthy relationships, she notes, often stem from issues of power and control. By recognizing how her past experiences and assumptions influenced her reactions, Shatarupa learned to approach relationships with more patience and empathy. She embraced personal growth, acknowledging the value of learning from mistakes and the importance of embracing vulnerability.
