Even as Pratik Gandhi is working on his web series, Gandhi, with director Hansal Mehta and geared up for his Friday release, Do Aur Do Pyaar, with Vidya Balan, the actor continues to strike a balance with theatre. Today evening at NMACC, he will perform his play, Mohan No Masalo, in which he essays Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. Admitting that his heart lies in theatre, Pratik says, “There is nothing like the rush of performing in front of a live audience. Each applause fuels my gratitude towards the audience, while every criticism fuels my determination to better my performance.” The play delves into Gandhiji’s life before he became a Mahatma, offering audiences a unique perspective. Interestingly, actor-wife Bhamini Oza, who portrays his reel-life wife Kasturba in the upcoming web series, also has her stage commitments this weekend. Coincidentally, she essays the historical character Rattanbai Petit, wife of Mohammed Ali Jinnah, in the bio-drama Bombay Flower at Prithvi Theatre. Terming being on stage as “pure fulfilment,” Bhamini says, “It is like feeding my soul, embodying characters, and captivating audiences for those precious hours. Each performance fuels my growth and deepens my passion for the craft.” She believes that theatre is Pratik and her sanctuary, as their love story blossomed within its walls and strengthened their bond through their shared devotion to the stage. She adds, “It is where we thrive, constantly evolving as actors and gain insights.”
