Siddharth

Siddharth Instagram – Spent the evening with my favourite teacher. Keval Arora, English professor extraordinaire (he never taught me. I did Commerce) has been a student of Kirori Mal College, Delhi University, then came back to teach English here but also became the staff advisor of our precious theater society #ThePlayers and has been here his whole adult, teaching life.

In many ways, what I do as an actor today and how I approach performance art, I owe entirely to Keval.

I was privileged to train under him in a very challenging play called “Gum & Goo” by Howard Brenton. Tonight 25 years later, we read lines on stage from the play for him in the audience. It was surreal.

Keval Arora is retiring today.
I feel very lucky that I got to spend an evening with him and hundreds of players aged 17-♾ and had the most remarkable celebration in Delhi, one I will never forget.

I will always love you Keval. Thank you for being you. Thank you for everything. You will always be my favourite learning experience. Go well great man and let’s do this again soon. ❤️
