Girish Karnad shares space with Sharmila Tagore
Undisputably, Girish Karnad was an actor par excellence. He was a natural actor and his dialogue delivery and expression goes beyond description. Here the legendary actor is seen with yet another exceptional
actress Sharmila Tagore. Soha Ali Khan, and Saba Ali Khan.
The lively image was captured amidst the filming or promotion of the 2009 British-Indian drama film
“Life Goes On” a Sangeeta Datta directorial film explores themes of grief, identity, and generational ties, drawing parallels with Shakespeare’s King Lear.
Girish Karnad, a revered Indian actor, playwright, and director, portrayed Sanjay, the widowed patriarch struggling to cope with the death of his wife and the evolving dynamics with his three daughters.
Sharmila Tagore, one of Indian cinema’s most iconic figures, played Manju, his wife, whose presence looms large even after her passing. Soha Ali Khan, real-life daughter of Sharmila Tagore, played one of the central daughters in the film, adding a personal layer to the onscreen family dynamic. Standing beside them is Saba Ali Khan, Soha’s elder sister and a quiet presence in the public eye, possibly visiting amidst the shoot or involved in a non-acting capacity.
This image radiates echoes the emotional core of Life Goes On, where personal loss and cultural intersections are delicately portrayed through a family’s journey toward healing and understanding.
