| | Heidi lives beyond
feminism, remains a dream |  GINA Gionfriddo is the author
of six plays, including the
Pulitzer Prize finalist Becky
Shaw. The day after my new
play, Rapture, Blister, Burn,
began previews off-Broadway I received a

Wendy were here to see me "taking up
where The Heidi Chronicles left off."
Wasserstein´s Heidi Chronicles had its
premiere in 1988 at Playwrights

filmdom, considering
his father-in-law is veteran
artist Prem
Chopra and his sister
Mansi Joshi is an actress and is
married to actor-filmmaker Rohit
Roy. But Sharman Joshi says connections
don´t work in showbiz and
everyone has to prove his or her
mettle to get recognition.
"You are at the mercy of people.
No connections really help here
(filmdom). You have to prove yourself.
No one can fight the battle for
you. It has been a lonely journey,"
Sharman Joshi said.
After having been part of the
industry for 13 years and having
worked in 19 films, Sharman says
there is no particular formula to
