The Sabhā No Longer Stands 

by Punya Rajput

“In a heartfelt dialogue with Krishna, Draupadi sheds the weight of performativity, seeking not glory but the quiet grace of simply being”.

About Puya:

Punya is a freelance creative who believes in the power of stories—on stage, on screen, and on the page. A proud member and ambassador of the National Youth Theatre, she’s brought her love for performance to short films, ads, and creative spaces in both India and the UK.

With a background in sociology and a master’s in education policy, her work weaves together research and creativity. Her dissertation explored drama-based pedagogy and how emotion, imagination, and connection shape how we learn about gender.

She hopes to tell stories that spark something—joy, reflection, maybe even a little magic.

Big feelings, big laughs, and a strong belief that everything’s better with a little chaos and a lot of Brooklyn Nine-Nine.
