It is common knowledge that social media is but a gallery of meticulously picked happy memories, emphasised by filters and catchy AI-generated captions. At times when access to a celebrity’s life seems like it’s a click away; we fall for publicity stunts like the perfect sun-kissed posts, fairytale-like marriages and love stories, no make-up looks, and flawless airport captures. Shattering this world of rose-tinted glasses, three actors — Shikha Talsania, Adhaar Khurana and Rohini Ramnathan — offer a peek into their lives in Life Itself, a storytelling session by Akvarious Productions.

It will be part of an ongoing series of plays that includes The F Word, Dekh Behen 2, Go With The Flow and This Time. Director and writer Akarsh Khurana shares, “Whenever our production house hosts a chain of plays at a venue, we like to have other fringe performances that people can enjoy in between the plays.” Life Itself is one such performance that promises to draw crowds. “There are many who drop by just for this monologue session by the trio,” he adds.
