In this episode, Timothy Franklyn speaks with Mikhail Sen, who plays a major role in Mira Nair’s TV series adaptation of Vikram Seth's A Suitable Boy. We talk to Mikhail about how theatre moved from being a hobby while at St. Stephens to a career that has taken him around the world. He talks about his struggles in Mumbai as a young actor, his big break in Taj Express, playing the role of Indra Lal Roy (the only Indian flying ace in World War I), bartending at the National Theatre, and how a cricket match in England triggered a sequence of events leading up to being spotted by Mira Nair. Pull out an umbrella and hear Mikhail take us through his impressive journey from Bangalore to the world stage.
