Career

Alpana started her career as an announcer on the All India Radio network and worked there for almost 18 years. While she was studying in college, she debuted as a theatre artist with the theatre play ‘Taak Dhina Dhin.’ She then performed in various Gujarati and Hindi theatre plays such as Saalmubarak, Jaanta Ajaanta, Ek Selfie Sajode, Thodu Logic Thodu Magic, and Rupiya Ni Rani Dollario Raja. After working in a few theatre plays, she got married and subsequently, took a break from acting. In an interview, while talking about starting her career in acting, she said,

In 1990 people never encouraged girls to act. Though my father was an art director my mother never wanted me to become an actor. The acting was always considered a second option. In fact, people were not willing to let their daughters get into theatre, forget serials and films. I too kept it that way. I went on to study a lot and did my M.Com and diploma in Financial Management. All I wanted to do then was take up a good job and then get married. But it so happened that when I was in college I did some Inter-collegiate plays and got noticed by directors. I went on to do a few commercial plays after which I got married (to actor Mehul Buch) and took a long break from acting.”
