Veteran actor Himani Shivpuri has a strong affinity with the stage as she is a National School of Drama alumna. Working in Zee Theatre’s teleplay Rishton Ka Live Telecast was a welcome opportunity for her to reconnect with her roots and to enact a role that is very close to her heart.

The play highlights the story of a middle-class family, which quarrels endlessly but bonds together for the sake of a reality show. Himani says, “I play a strong mother and all women watching the play will identify with her!”

She adds, “We have learnt during the pandemic that only the love of family sustains us in difficult times and yet apps and gadgets have replaced real communication between parents and children. Young people spend so much time on social media and even children are busy playing games on the computer or on their phones.”

Technology, she says, can either be a bane or a boon, depending on how we use it. Himani adds, “During the pandemic, I gave so many virtual lectures at Chandigarh University but still kept wondering if we are losing out on tangible human connection.”
