It has been long since the last time we saw the talented Shweta Tiwari entertaining us with her acting chops.
But there is a good news for all the fans and followers of the actress!
Shweta is returning to the stage with Jab We Separated, a production penned and directed by veteran Rakesh Bedi.
Bigg Boss fame Shweta is very excited about performing for a live audience.
In a statement, she was quoted by India Today as saying, "Many years ago, I did a play at Prithvi Theatre and there a director spotted me and offered me Rishtey. That's how my TV career started and after Kasautii Zindagii Kay, there has been been no looking back."
A major draw for her theatre comeback was Rakesh.
"After a long hiatus, I am returning to theatre with Jab We Separated and it is especially since it was Rakeshji who offered me this challenging role. Every actor has their limitations and weaknesses, but not every actor is capable of rectifying their mistakes, and that's exactly what Rakeshji taught me," she added.
Shweta also went on to say that working with Rakesh brings out the best in an actor and that impressing him is a task.
Presented by Felicity Theatre, the play depicts the mindset of modern day couples whose lives are woven in the fragile thread of mistrust. It's also a reflection of a contemporary society that when confronted with infidelity or regular nagging, resort to divorce.
The play will also feature Rakesh himself and Rahul Bhuchar.
While talking about the play's subject, Rakesh told the website, "Divorce today is one of the most burning social issues in our society. The play explores discord in matrimony and how young couples today have lost faith in the concept of love, compassion and forgiveness. The court gives the warring couples six months to reconcile. But do they really work on it? In this play we try to find answers to such questions."
He also went on to say that working with, both Shweta and Rahul was an enriching experience.
Jab We Separated will be staged in New Delhi on September 8 and September 9.
