While Mukti is known for her moves, not many know that she has been actively involved in theater for years.  “I have always been passionate about acting and mediums don’t bother me at all. Since childhood, I have grown up watching some really rich content on television. So I have never wanted to do usual stuff and thus was concentrating on rich content, be it on theatre, Digital, feature films, television or anything. I have done a lot of web series, plays and recently when people saw me perform have they realized that acting is my passion”, she said with a smile.

The play unfolds through the conversations and journey of seven passengers traveling together in a Mumbai train. The 80 minute- long play has been produced by Patchworks theatre and jointly directed by Puja Swarup and Sheena Khalid.

ILA is playing at Prithvi Theatre, Juhu, on 14th & 15th June 2018 at 7 and 9:30 pm.
