A Quote by Vir Das

I did theatre in the U.S. because there, content-wise, it's very light. In India, theatre tends to get preachy.

Before I worked on film, I studied the theatre, and I expected that I would spend my whole career in theatre. Gradually, I started writing for the cinema.

As my passion is theatre when I do a film I'm taking time out from my theatre career. So, I'm desperate to get back into the theatre.

It is hard but it matters so much to me that it's just something that's going to be necessary and people will have to deal with it.
