To stage lovers, she is known for her delightful work in Piya Behrupiya, Atul Kumar’s acclaimed musical take on the Bard’s Twelfth Night. Her performance as Viola in it would lead to the breakthrough role as a lawyer in Chaitanya Tamhane’s sublime debut Court. For most, though, she is Gullak’s Shanti Mishra/‘Annu Ki Mummy’, the much-loved mother of the web series. This week, viewers couldn’t escape Geetanjali Kulkarni on OTT. SonyLIV released season five of the popular slice-of-life family dramedy, Gullak, while Kulkarni has a key supporting part in Netflix’s Maa Behen, the dark comedy that also stars Madhuri Dixit Nene and Tripti Dimri.
