IRA DUBEY
A Tryst With Drama
Even though her parents encouraged her to follow her own dreams, the younger daughter of theatre personalities, Lillete and Ravi Dubey, never entertained doubts that she would do anything beyond it. "My sister, Neha and I were always given our private spaces and allowed to do what really inspired us. Although I was a terribly academic conscious student and an all-rounder at Cathedral School," states 22-year-old Ira, "for me, choosing my calling was a natural progression, as drama is ingrained in my blood." Having recently returned from an undergraduate stint at Yale University - "New Haven was very cold and not really what I expected it to be, so it was an overwhelming experience" - Ira will now complete her formal education in Mumbai.
