theatreperson

A gender-neutral term, used predominantly in Indian English, for any individual working in the media industry — journalists, reporters, broadcasters, or media professionals broadly. It functions as a handy alternative to 'journalist' when the exact role isn't known, or to 'newsman/newswoman' for those who prefer non-gendered language. In Indian journalism and public affairs, mediaperson is entirely standard and unremarkable.

(mostly, India) A member of the media.

An Indian and South Asian term for a theatrical play or dramatic production, from Sanskrit. In informal usage it can also describe someone putting on a dramatic performance or making a scene — the drama sense is a common colloquial extension. Used across Hindi, Urdu, and related languages.

(Canada, South Asia, rarely, _, Australia, New Zealand) A cinema; movie theatre.
