For actor Maadhavi Nemkar, acting has always been about performance first. The look, and length of the character always comes secondary. Currently seen in Maharathi, the theatre actor feels blessed to be playing a grey shade on stage. “I have played negative character before but never in theatre.
It is very different when on stage. This is what I find absolutely challenging,” says the actor.
She adds that being directed by veteran director Vijay Kenkre is an honour and blessing. “I have always wanted to work with him and with Maharathi, I finally got a chance. I love that he is a director’s actor.
He is very lenient and lets the actor explore. He is very calm and understanding and I don’t remember him yelling or getting angry at all.”
