Vashisht, a National School of Drama graduate, has worked in award-winning films including 바카라Drohkaal바카라 (1994), 바카라Dil Se..바카라 (1998), 바카라Ghulam바카라 (1998), and 바카라Taal바카라 (1999) as well as popular soap operas such as 바카라Swabhimaan바카라 (1994), 바카라Hip Hip Hurray바카라 (1998) and 바카라Kahani Ghar Ghar Ki바카라 (2005).
바카라With TV and film, the process has a lot of people in it, there are a lot of elements and now there is social media too. In some strange way, it scatters your inner being, what theatre does is it brings all your many parts together and gives you a sense of rootedness,바카라 Vashisht told PTI in an interview.
After graduating from NSD in 1987, the 55-year-old has remained active in theatre, most notably through her solo play in English and Hindi, 바카라Lal Ded바카라, based on life of the medieval Kashmiri mystic, which is in its 18th year of production.
바카라The kind of response I get from an audience, they don바카라t leave the theatre for almost an hour after watching Lal Ded, they hang around. So theatre is that deep quiet core that sustains me. I think it is also the most democratic medium. Theatre involves your entire body, your mind and your emotional space,바카라 the actor said.
Talking about her journey in films and TV, Vashisht noted that apart from facing a 바카라male dominated바카라 industry, an actor also has to overcome other obstacles too.
바카라It is not just male dominated, it is also dominated by a certain idea of royalty. If you are a mainstream actress, you are treated a little differently. If you have done a Hindi film where you have two three songs to your credit, which have been shown on TV, it helps. But if you have not done that or if you have done a certain type of cinema then there is always a kind of discrimination," the "Kaagaz" actor said.
According to Vashisht, a lot depends on the directors you work with and how they classify the cinema that you have been a part of.
바카라And you have to have a hit song. Then even if you have done two films, you are a star for the rest of your life,바카라 she said.
Vashisht, who has worked with the likes of Govind Nihalani, Priyadarshan, Mani Ratnam, Mani Kaul, and Kumar Shahani, said that she enjoyed the variety and the different types of cinema they made.
바카라I just enjoy the differences of each filmmaker, the fact that they are so different from each other. I have enjoyed the variety of directors I have worked with. Their cinemas are so vastly different and the fact that I could lend myself to each one, it was a new journey and I always loved the variety of that journey,바카라 she said.
