For Indrani Mukerjea, acclaimed media entrepreneur, bestselling author, and performer, playing Manipur's warrior princess in Chitrangada - Ek Sashakt Naari was more than a role; it was the culmination of years of reinvention and a powerful statement of purpose.

Produced by her company Indrani Mukerjea Enterprise (IME), the play, which showcased at Mumbai's Royal Opera House on June 28, placed her at the very heart of Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore's timeless story — allowing her to embody both the vulnerability and indomitable power of Chitrangada. Portraying both Kurupa and Surupa, Mukerjea commanded the stage with a layered performance that captured every shade of the warrior princess. “Chitrangada demanded complete honesty,” Mukerjea shared after the performance. “She taught me that true power lies in embracing every part of who we are — our doubts, our dreams, and our courage. Through this role, I wanted every woman to know her strength can coexist with tenderness.” For IME, Chitrangada - Ek Sashakt Naari is a declaration of intent. With this production, the company made clear its commitment to creating works that amplify women’s stories and challenge traditional narratives.
