Abhishek Saha
Abhishek Saha has often been described as an imp by his favourite directors. He has been successfully annoying the leading directors of Bombay theatre for the last fourteen years. It is a great mystery how he has worked with powerhouses like Satyadev Dubey, Arghya, Pushan, Quasar, Akarsh, Faezeh, and more, despite his lack of formal training. It is in rehearsal rooms that he received all his education, and eventually went on to direct kids in school plays. Kids seem to gel with him, which is why he is a regular director for schools like Riverside and Hasanat High School. He enjoys being pushed creatively to the realms far outside his comfort zone and pushing directors to saying his favourite line – “Not today, Saha!"

Muskkaan Jaferi
Muskkaan Jaferi has been putting words in people's mouths since she was 15 years old; mostly hindi words, into the mouths of actors in many feature-films and Netflix shows. While she doesn't consider herself a princess, she sounds like 3 Disney ones: Moana, Vanellope (from Ralph breaks the internet) and Jasmine, Aladdin's Queen. She once decided that dubbing wasn't enough and then acted in QTP's Mother Courage and her Children, became a part of A Farming Story, and most recently acted in What Planet Are You On? Her first feature film, Noblemen, released earlier this year. She now frets over whether this bio makes her look cool enough to win your approval.
