At Abhivyakti, Dhrunad presents Like Share Subscribe, a play about Kirti, a young woman pulled into the strange economy of social media validation. What begins as a simple profile soon becomes an addictive game of performance and pretence, until her online persona confronts her directly. Inspired by Gogol’s The Nose, the play reflects on how easily identity can fracture under the pressure of digital life.

For Dhrunad, this story is both observation and experience. Conversations with young people, his own encounters with online culture and insights from his wife’s work in digital marketing - all shaped the narrative. He hopes the audience leaves with a simple truth: social media validation is not real validation.
