Eating out, poor hand hygiene and erratic weather may be among causes, say medics
I really didn't think I would be making a career in movies after my studies. And because of that I think I wasn't really mentally prepared. If I had to do things differently I would say I would have definitely wanted to train myself a little more and be better equipped to handle all the requirements which the film industry has like voice, language, dancing and all of that.
I sometimes joke about how normally people do theatre and then struggle and come into television and then struggle to achieve movies and I've kind of done things in reverse; I did movies first and then I wanted to change my lifestyle. With movies you have absolutely no time boundaries; you could have a night shoot and you could be required to travel. So I started television at that time and with television I could control my timings.
After my first play, The Perfect Husband, people were constantly asking me, "You've done The Perfect Husband. Now when will you be doing The Perfect Wife?" It was initially a joke but after being asked that a couple of times I thought it was something we could actually do.
It's a romantic comedy with a lot of humour. It's about a husband and wife where she's the perfect wife who's actually educated but somehow her husband always wants her to look pretty, wear nice clothes and look after the house.
We have definitely evolved over time but theatre still has its own place and a live performance has its own kind of audience. Web series and television series need your attention for weeks and months if you really need to get to the crux of the matter. When you're in the comfort of your house you have distractions and interruptions whereas in live theatre you have the concentration of people and they get very engrossed in the whole performance.
That's what our play slightly focuses on. Women are really capable of doing that because God has given them that intrinsic multitasking skill. Most of the women have that and because they are a little more sensitive and I would say aware of what goes on around them they are able to do a better job even at work with their sincerity and meticulousness and dedication. In today's time most of the woman are trained to be professionals from the time they're in school. So they are very well versed and able to manage their work as well as their home. I think God has given women a little edge of tolerance and a little more of multitasking skill.
Make sure your family supports you. Because as women we tend to be more sacrificial. So we need to draw our boundaries and ask for help when we need it. Most women don't ask for help and they get stressed which reflects on their behaviour and moods as the stress factor becomes way higher. And I think that affects relationships and marriages.
I love Dubai for so many reasons! Every time I visit there's something new to see. It keeps evolving and growing. Of course I love the restaurants there and I look forward to eating from nice places. I'm also looking forward to meeting my friends, but most of all I'm looking forward to a good show which people will enjoy. For me that is of primary importance right now.
The Perfect Wife will be staged at Jumeirah Beach Hotel on October 11 at 6:30pm. Tickets on platinumlist.net
