The world’s her stage

Trishla Patel loves to get theatrical

She bubbles with effervescence off stage. But on stage chirpy Trishla Patel transforms into Jhankana, a realist who is bitter about life, in End of Season. The family drama with comic undertones reflects the inner conflicts of two sisters. Even after nine years of acting, Trishla still gets a high facing a live audience. Her love for the stage dates back all the way to kindergarten, when she appeared as the monkey who speaks no evil in See No Evil, Hear No Evil. Feroz Khan’s Mahatma Vs Gandhi, where she was involved back stage, was her first professional project. A slew of plays followed – Magic Pill, Man of La Mancha, Cyclewallah, Laila, Irani café, Bansuri, Black with Equal. “While portraying a role, I usually try to look for shades of the character in everyday life.” The actor nurtures a desire to be a playwright and director at some point. Right now, she wants to explore interesting characters like Anne Frank and Jhansi ki Rani on stage.
