Welcome back to Chai Time! Today we feature the one and only Shahrukh Khan. Never ever did I imagine myself getting starstruck, but on July 4th I was at the airport, saw a commotion, and in the next moment found myself face to face with THE SHAHRUKH KHAN! He held my hand and we walked together for a few steps. Still awe struck. Today’s chai is for you, Shahrukh.

Aaye Tum Yaad Mujhe - Celebrating Amitabh Bachchan’s Birthday - October 11, 2014

What an absolute blissful afternoon it was at the Stanford campus, immersed in the vibrant world of Nautanki—the rich folk theater tradition of North India. It was an honor to spend time with not just great artists, but also remarkable human beings who are preserving and innovating this beautiful art form.
We had the privilege of engaging with Padma Shri Pandit Ram Dayal Sharma Ji, a living legend and Sangeet Natak Akademi awardee, whose dedication to keeping Nautanki alive is awe-inspiring. Adding to this enriching experience was his son, Professor Dr. Devendra Sharma, a prolific artist and scholar in his own right, and Shubhra Prakash, a familiar voice on Chai Time and a celebrated theater artist from the Bay Area, now making waves in New York.
Don’t miss this special episode of Chai Time, where we dive deep into the world of Nautanki, exploring its timeless charm, evolving narratives, and the passion that fuels these extraordinary artists.
