Actress Shreya Chaudhry took to social media to share a heartwarming throwback of her childhood, delighting fans with pictures of her dressed as Charlie Chaplin and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. The post, shared on the occasion of World Theatre Day, captured the essence of Shreya’s long-standing love for Theatre.
In a series of nostalgic images, Shreya can be seen as a little girl as the iconic star Charlie Chaplin, and as Truly Scrumptious from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Both looks resonate deeply with the magic of theatre.
Expressing her thoughts on World Theatre Day, Shreya said , “Theatre is one of the oldest and most powerful art forms that humanity has ever known. Watching a live performance—whether it’s an actor emoting on stage or an orchestra playing music—creates an irreplaceable experience. I was fortunate to grow up watching plays, and that experience left an indelible mark on me. Growing up, I would enact characters like Charlie Chaplin and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, I never knew then how these playful moments would shape my love for the stage.
I attribute every single thing that I do today in my life to theater because that’s where it began for me. Before movies and shows entered my life, it was theater that made me realise my love for performing arts. It was the first time I set foot on a stage when I was in school is when I can recollect as the happiest day of my life. I remember feeling very alive, and being an introverted girl, this was the first time I actually felt confident.”
Her recent projects, Bandish Bandits 2 and The Mehta Boys, have garnered praises for her nuanced performances in both roles.
Shreya also shared a post on her social media captioned “Some childhood dreams never fade, they just find a bigger stage. ❤️
Happy #WorldTheatreDay!”
