Shabana Azmi Takes A Break In CA With ‘Broken Images’ Team

DANVILLE, CA -National Award-winning actress Shabana Azmi and her “Broken Images” team took a brief break in the Bay Area here, taking a bit of a relaxing time from their hectic tour schedule.

Shabana shared glimpses from her downtime on Instagram, writing about the challenges of an actor’s life as the troupe prepared for a 5-hour flight to Raleigh, adjusting to a three-hour time difference.

The team, including Pearl, Shabana’s niece Farzi Rizvi, Craig, Prarthana, and Jayesh, spent some downtime together before their next performance.

‘Broken Images’, written by the late Girish Karnad in 2004 and directed by Alyque Padamsee, is about two sisters. One is an intellectually brilliant paraplegic, the other a plodding writer. They live under the same roof, dependent on each other, but inhabiting different emotional as well as linguistic worlds, English and Hindi.

One of India’s most acclaimed actresses, Azmi is known for her portrayals of distinctive, often unconventional female characters across several genres. (IANS)
