Actors' Roundtable: Tillotama Shome, Rajshri Deshpande & Kani Kusruti On Acting & Relationships 🎭❤️

Join Editor-In-Chief Jitesh Pillai for an unfiltered conversation on this episode of Filmfare Actors' Roundtable as three of Indian cinema’s most fearless performers - Tillotama Shome, Kani Kusruti, and Rajshri Deshpande come together to speak about their journeys, the joy and vulnerability of performance, and pushing boundaries through their work in cinema and theatre.

Tillotama Shome looks back on her formative years at Delhi University, the lasting impact of working with Mira Nair on Monsoon Wedding, and the valuable lessons she picked up on set as a young actor. She also opens up about navigating intimate scenes, learning to accept her body, and understanding how the camera reshaped her perception of it.

Kani Kusruti opens up about her seamless shift from stage to screen, collaborating with pathbreaking directors like Payal Kapadia and Shuchi Talati, and offers thoughtful insight into the deeply embedded patriarchy and male gaze that female actors still have to navigate in the industry. Kani further talks about her film Biryani and her reservations about the story. She admits that theatre remains her first love as an artist and if given a choice, she’d always pick the stage over the screen.

Rajshri Deshpande shares her inspiring journey of switching from a conventional career path to chasing her passion for acting, the collaborative tension she experienced while filming Trial By Fire, and how her deep-rooted connection with theatre has shaped her voice and vision as a performer. Further she talks about how she had almost made up her mind of leaving Mumbai and not return, yet destiny had other plans for her. She talks about her characters that have affected her emotionally - from Sexy Durga to Sacred Games and to her recent Trial By Fire, each role has impacted her deeply.

Watch the full conversation to hear these incredible artists reflect on their paths, their process, and what drives them as performers.
