JAMMU, Mar 11: As a befitting tribute to womanhood, ‘Pehli Saans Se Pehle’, a poignant play written by Ravikant Mishr and directed by Rahul Singh was presented at Natrang Studio Theatre under Sunday Theatre series, here today. An intriguing performance was given by the actors on a topic which still exists in our society.
Female foeticide is an evil practice which is unfortunately still there and women are forced to kill their foetus by their families. The mental trauma which a female has to go through was depicted in the play in a very significant manner.
The story is based on a nuclear family, husband ‘Nirmal’ and wife ‘Rashmi’ who are happy in their lives and are already blessed with a daughter. A day comes when Rashmi finds out in her reports that she is expecting a baby girl and informs Nirmal about it. He being a very practical man just reminds Rashmi about the plan which they have made of one son and one daughter.
She gets drenched in emotions after knowing that he wants her to abort the baby. This shatters her and she tries hard to make him understand that life doesn’t work on planning’s rather it works on feelings. But he being a rational man ignores her and stays strong headed at his decision and forces her to go to see a doctor and get the baby aborted. This totally shakes her and leaves her torn in emotions. She doesn’t know where to go and what to do. Number of questions smack her mind and the story goes on…..
The actors who performed in the play included Aishwarya Sathe as ‘Rashmi’ and Rahul Singh as ‘Nirmal’ both put sincere efforts to touch the depth of their respective characters. The lights were designed and executed by Gautam Kumar. Music was played by Bhisham Gupta, Sets were designed by Mohit Kaul, the Show was coordinated by Mohd. Yaseen and was presented by Goutam Sharma.
