If it weren’t for money, theatre artistes wouldn’t leave the profession for TV and cinema, says veteran actor Himani Shivpuri.
The National School of Drama (NSD) graduate admitted it was difficult to make ends meet when she and her husband, Gyan Shivpuri, did amateur theatre work during the 1980s.
“We would make Rs 1,000 a month and at times not even that. We had a house to run, children to feed. It was very difficult. I think if theatre had any money, no actor or actress would ever leave the medium,” Shivpuri said.
