Mumbai, May 12 (IANS) Actress Rukhsar Rehman is a proud theatre artist, and calls it her first love. She doesn’t care if theatre pays less compared to other formats.
Spilling her love for theatre, Rukhsar said, “Theatre is my first love. I enjoy every moment being on stage. I have been doing theater for ten years; my first play was ‘Nirbhaya’. It was a testimonial play directed by very well-known international theater director Yael Farber. We traveled with that play for three years.”

She shared that her favorite play would be “Mamma Mia”, and she got the opportunity to watch it last year in London. “I was bowled over by the way they have made that production. Everything was just perfect. It’s so far my favorite because I am a fan of ‘Mamma Mia’, the film and its songs, and of course Meryl Streep,” she concluded.
