Mumbai, Rupali Suri seems to have gone bonkers... and the public is loving it. The 20-something actress who played the Indian National Congress President Sonia Gandhi with a difference, in Bharat Dabholkar's directorial comic satire play ‘Bottoms Up’, has now gone burlesque for it.

Burlesque show first became popular in America in the 1860s and evolved to feature lewd jokes and female striptease. By the early 20th century, burlesque was a populist blend of satire, performance art, music and adult entertainment, featuring striptease and broad comedy acts.

Rupali, in Bottoms Up, has kept the nudity in check. Its India, so her burlesque act is what one can say, a bit tamed. However, to balance the 'taming', Rupali is said to have added some cheeky raunchiness, providing light entertainment to her audiences of the play.
