Nina Chhibber Williams, whose play Om Shaadi Om is being staged at the Edinburgh Fringe, talks about love in the time of multiculturalism
Nina Chhibber Williams bounces around various New York City stages performing sketch shows and short-form comedy, among others.
Nina Chhibber Williams plays herself in Om Shaadi Om — a 30-year-old unmarried woman of mixed cultures, colours and continents. The multiculturalism has played a role in Nina’s unfinished journey to matrimony. While she is waiting for a wedding, and peace in her family, Williams is performing a play on her experience of immigrant families and relationships. Told through the sacred steps of the Hindu wedding ceremony, it is being staged at the Edinburgh Fringe, one of the largest arts festivals in the world, till August 10. “Although my story is personal, the themes of acceptance and wishes to make your parents happy are universal. As my generation continues to intermarry or have other previously unconventional relationships, we are pushing our parents out of their comfort zones while navigating through our own personal demons and emotions,” she says.
