Neena Gupta has been related to the theatre from her college days. The actor studied at the National School of Drama. Interestingly, Anupam Kher was also a part of the National School of Drama. The duo in June 2019 revisited their days in NSD when they performed in Rakesh Bedi’s much-acclaimed play Mera Who Matlab Nahi Tha. This drama is a story about two long lost lovers who revisit their past after 35 years.
Set in Delhi, the play traces the stories of Preetam Chopra and Hema Roy as they discover the truth about their circumstances, thrash out misunderstandings and re-imagine alternate trajectories. Despite being a year at the National School of Drama (NSD) in the 1970s, the actors never had the chance to perform on stage together until this production, many decades later. The long-running play Mera Woh Matlab Nahi Tha is also a testimony of their artistic journeys that turn a full circle to the theatre.
