Navjot Singh Narula

Assistant Artistic Director

A Techie by my mind and my profession but an artist by heart and passion, I always had deep interest in different forms of art & literature. During my time in college and university I started writing, acting in and directing the short skits, sketches and one act plays and I try to keep pursuing the same whenever I get a chance. Since last year I have worked with PAA as an Assistant Director and Director on different productions and they encouraged me to stage one of the stories I was working on, at the Sawitri Shorts Festival which you will see in Punjabi Shorts.
