Today marks the 50th anniversary of this icon's debut in cinema, and I'm sure her presence in theatre dates even further back to childhood. She has been an incredible inspiration, a mentor, and a true champion. To merely label her as such would be an understatement. Achieving such a remarkable career and continuously evolving as an artist and individual is a feat in itself. It was a genuine honour for me to have directed her, and I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to do so again soon. Thank you for elevating us, and now it's our turn to lift you up and celebrate you. Shabana Azmi, our lead patron and our inspiration, we salute you. - Pravesh Kumar MBE, Artistic Director 🙏🏽❤️
