Shweta Tripathi Sharma and SlowCheeta Return Together to Theatre
Shweta Tripathi Sharma and SlowCheeta are a real-life couple who are acting together in a play.
They met through theatre 13 years ago.
Their new play is called External Affairs.
In the play, they act like two people meeting and learning about each other for the first time.
This was difficult because they already know each other very well.
They practiced by thinking about stories from their single friends.
The audience is close to the actors and becomes part of the show.
Shweta also talked about returning as Golu Gupta in Mirzapur: The Movie.
She and SlowCheeta say they help each other learn, stay healthy and grow.
