Nadira Babbar and Juuhi Babbar Sonii in Ekjute's Begum Jaan

After years of professional theatre in Delhi, why did you start Ekjute in Mumbai?
I've been doing theatre for 48 years. I obtained a Diploma in Direction from National School of Drama, New Delhi under the mentorship of professor Ebrahim Alkazi. (1968–1971). The first 10 years of professional theatre were in Delhi. When I moved to Mumbai, I wanted to start a theatre group. Many of us from National School Of Drama and others who were already in Mumbai before I came here, came together and started the group, Ekjute in 1981.
