I hadn’t really understood how daunting a task it would be to play the role of Shurupa. When Mou (our all-in-one, one-woman-show behind Chitrangada ) told me that I would be playing Shurupa, I was happy that I have been entrusted with one of the main characters, but never did the thought cross my mind, that playing this role would take so much off me. Shurupa is the essence of a true नारी - a womanly woman possessing all traits of the feminine charm. She is beautiful, she is playful, she is charming, she is attractive, she can make any man swoon for her. She is delicate, she is adorned with graces that are unparalleled. And she is completely aware of these qualities. At the same time, she hides inside that female body, the strength, wit, valor and bravery of a man. And this hidden personality conflicts constantly with the exposed beauty. And that conflict is what I am supposed to bring out through dance and expressions.
So, you see people, the herculean task that is lying in front of me? I am giving it my best, I am working hard to make this character of Shurupa as real and as close to what Tagore envisioned as is Tanvee-ly possible, but I am still going to require all the blessings that you can give me. Wish me luck guys, for this is something that I have never attempted before.

Tanvee, you are portraying Shurupa's character so well at the practices, that I am certain the character will come to life when you go on stage. Go girl!
