In her latest Hindi play "Silvatein," theatre personality Shatarupa Bhattacharyya explores the complexity of romantic relationships. With over a decade of experience in theatre and being involved in about 20 productions as an actor, director, and production manager, Shatarupa shares her insights on crafting plays and understanding modern relationships. She believes that theatre provides a unique platform to delve into intellectual and emotional explorations, allowing abstract ideas to come to life in a visceral manner. Through the cathartic process of dramatizing these issues, she has found healing and empowerment, leading to meaningful conversations that she hopes will inspire others. Shatarupa emphasizes how modern, fast-paced lifestyles often hinder emotional connections in relationships, with stress, distractions, and the expectation of constant fulfillment shaping people's dynamics with their partners.The energy spent on solving problems can sometimes be minimized by choosing to walk away or let go. Modern fast-paced lifestyles often prioritize tasks over fostering deep emotional connections, making relationships an afterthought. Shatarupa drew inspiration from her own struggles with relationships for her latest play. She emphasizes the significance of self-awareness and honest communication in both personal well-being and healthy relationships. Recognizing the impact of past experiences on her responses has led Shatarupa to approach relationships with greater understanding and empathy, embracing vulnerability and learning from mistakes.
