Next month, Nandita Das will quit her present tenure as the chairperson of the Children’s Films Society Of India (CFSI). Nandita wants to spend more time with her growing son Vihaan, who will turn two next month and focus on her debut as a director and actor in a play tentatively titled Black & White.

Nandita and her entrepreneur-husband Subodh Maskara will play husband and wife from the educated ‘enlightened’ section of the middle-class questioning their marriage. Says Nandita, “Subodh is making his acting debut with me in my play. It’s the first time I am writing and directing a play. I am relatively new to the medium. So it’s a blessing to have my husband on stage with me.”
