You can’t take theatre out of stage artistes. When late theatre veteran Dinesh Thakur married fellow actor Preeta Mathur, 16 years his junior, in 1996 at his residence in a modest ceremony, they were up on stage that very evening for rehearsals.
On the 39th anniversary of their theatre group, Ank, on October 1, it’s going to be the same story. Two plays will be staged back to back — one a revived classic; another, fresh.
