Distressed2010 ...
Glad that you are feeling a bit better about your decision.
Just to clarify for my understanding, you are based out of India, correct? If so, I don't really know much about the theatrical "scene" there other than the huge "Bollywood" film industry. Plus, I've been to India many, many years ago as a kid, so I know how popular the cinema is in Indo-Asian culture. 
Would being involved in Bollywood-associated theater / film be of interest to you? Or are you looking for something slightly less entertainment industry based such as local community theaters, etc.?
Also, your feeling disappointed about your other investigation into the second theatrical group, in comparison to the "cultish" group, is to be expected. Totally normal. Don't worry yourself over it ... what counts is your self-worth, and from what you previously wrote, it sounds like they didn't care too much about you other than your dues and being sort of a number / body present for their use. Forget 'em. 
Once again, my lack of knowledge based upon where you are located in India, or how much experience you may have with regard to the performing arts, or your age and personal goals, limits me in trying to suggest possible alternatives for you. I'd think that a local school may have some possiblities (i.e. they may have a high school performing arts class), or a local college / advanced learning school may provide some imput to you with regard to "networking" your interests / talents.
Sort of akin to seeking a job. You have to both know what suits your interests, and how to "sell" yourself and your unique abilities. The catch is knowing what the other person / company / group is looking for as well. That way, you can adapt your "selling points" to what they are interested in. Not in a misleading manner, but sort of putting a spotlight upon what your strengths are rather than what you may be lacking (but are willing to improve upon).
OK, gonna scoot here. Stay well and I do hope that you continue foward in your quest.
Peace,
