The actor who stars in this Zee Theatre teleplay says Vijay Tendulkar's writing never failed to question entrenched societal biases In 1977, iconic playwright Vijay Tendulkar wrote a Marathi play, 'Pahije Jatiche' about widespread caste-based discrimination in academic circles and society at large and its theme does not seem dated even today.  Zee Theatre's teleplay, 'Typecaste,' is the Hindi adaptation of the play and will soon be aired on Tata Play Theatre.

Actor Aaditi Pohankar who stars in the teleplay feels that Tendulkar's writing unfailingly exposed societal fault lines. She says, "Typecaste' reveals the prejudices that are still prevalent in society and it is unfortunate that we still read headlines about caste-based discrimination and oppression every day. Good art reflects society, and Tendulkar always held up a mirror to entrenched biases. This is an unsettling and yet important story that must be told again and again."
