Actress Shilpa Navalkar , who had turned a playwright with her Marathi play ‘Selfie‘ , has proved successful as a writer, as her play has presented 100 shows.

The English version of this play will be staged soon, which will be directed by Tanaaz Irani and will star Tanaaz Irani, Dimple Shah, Shweta Gulati, Priya Malik & Kiswar Merchant.
