"It has been my good fortune to know Anahita from the commencement of her teaching practice in the late 1980’s. She has come a very long way since, and, in Centre Stage, she has established an institution that provides her the ideal infrastructure to provide the highest standards of drama and communications training in our city. One of Anahita’s invaluable contributions to the performing community in western India is her mentoring and moulding of so many young and aspiring teachers who themselves have started their own practice or worked in schools and institutions in places like Ahmedabad, Pune and Nashik, in addition to Mumbai. I was overwhelmed on my first visit to Centre Stage. I can well imagine the great joy the young and not so young students must experience in attending classes there in English language, communications and performance. May it go from strength to strength."
