Shabana Azmi and her “Broken Images” theater team grabbed a quick breather in California’s Bay Area, stepping away from their packed tour schedule. The National Award-winning actress shared fun glimpses of the downtime on Instagram, highlighting the ups and downs of life on the road as an actor.
In her post, Shabana wrote: “#Danville Bay Area taking a well deserved break from the hectic tour of our play #Broken Images.” She snapped photos with her close-knit crew—Pearl, her niece Farzi Rizvi, Craig, Prarthana, and Jayesh—enjoying some relaxed moments together before their next big move.
The group heads out tomorrow for a five-hour flight to Raleigh, facing a three-hour time difference. Shabana added a cheeky note: “With my lovely team because of whom we have been able to pull this off so far #Pearl, my niece @farzi_rizvi, #Craig, yours truly, #Prarthana and #Jayesh. Off tmrw on a 5 hr flight to Raleigh with a 3 hr time difference and ready for the show! Whoever thought being an actor is easy.”
The play “Broken Images,” penned by the late Girish Karnad in 2004 and directed by Alyque Padamsee, dives into the story of two sisters sharing a home. One is a sharp-minded paraplegic, the other a struggling writer. They rely on each other but navigate separate emotional worlds, speaking English and Hindi. As they face life’s twists—together and alone—they keep reshaping how they see each other and the world around them. In today’s digital age, the story hits home with constant electronic images bombarding our lives, challenging our sense of self.
Shabana Azmi brings her decades of experience to the stage. She’s starred in over 160 films, shining in independent parallel cinema, mainstream Bollywood hits, and even international projects. Fans love her for tackling bold, unconventional women in all kinds of roles, making her one of India’s top actresses.
