Aetasha on Ahilya's fortitude


Aetashaa believes that not only has she gained a new zeal for life but has also learnt life altering lessons after witnessing the courage, endurance and determination of Ahilyabai Holkar up close. So much so, that every time she learns more about Rani Ahilya’s pioneering tales, she gets goosebumps!

As a performer, I have always believed that one gets to learn a lot from the character they portray. However, being a part of Punyashlok Ahilyabai and playing such an iconic character feels absolutely surreal every day. I’ve learnt how to be more selfless, giving and courageous enough to fight all odds, use our power in the right direction, and pave the way for others. Especially in the upcoming track where emphasis is on widow remarriage, Ahilyabai fearlessly stands up against the society in order to bring in justice for the widows. She is a pillar of strength and hope for many. It’s truly amazing to enact a character like this who fights for her people. Needless to say, it’s been one of the most life altering experiences for me. I get goosebumps during our script reading sessions when I get to learn more about Ahilyabai’s grit, determination, foresight, understanding and compassion. it’s beyond inspiring!”
