Abha Sharma

Ever since childhood, Abha Sharma dreamed of becoming an actor. Her family's disapproval led her to pursue a teaching career instead. She started acting at the age of 54, and is winning hearts as 'Ammaji' in the web series 'Panchayat'.

The wonderful tradition of village women gathering around a common oven to make rotis may have become a thing of the past in that state. But the 'sanjha chulha' (community kitchen) has been rekindled in the villages of the Shekhawati region of Rajasthan, albeit with a small modification. Keeping up with the changing times, instead of the earthen oven, it is the sanjha gas that the Shekhawati women are sharing today. There are many advantages of a sanjha gas facility.
