JAMMU, Dec 6: Theatre organization ‘Natrang’ here today staged Hindi play ‘Lamhon Ne Khata Ki Thi’ written by Partap Sehgal and directed by Neeraj Kant. The play focuses on the theme of AIDS awareness and serves as a powerful weapon for its prevention.
A wife is shown betrayed by her husband as she got HIV infection from him. The story of the play appeared happy in the beginning but turned a grim tragedy at end.
Geeta got married to her boss Mahesh as they liked each other.
Their married life was smooth and happy and after years of wait, Geeta got pregnant. But rather than bringing happiness, this much awaited good news brings gloom to the family as Mahesh fell ill and turned weak.
After consulting a doctor and getting general health tonic, he feels better for a few days but his health deters and he shows the symptoms of being HIV positive.
On getting properly checked, he was diagnosed HIV positive and in the meantime he unknowingly transmitted the infection to his wife and probably to the upcoming child.
This brings shock and sorrow to the family and the couple starts blaming each other. Finally, ‘Dinesh’ a good friend of ‘Mahesh’ reminds him that during his college days, Mahesh went to a brothel and must have got infected from there.
This brings a gush of the feeling of repentance and remorse in Mahesh but to no use as a mistake of a few moments had spoilt his entire life and also that of his family.
‘Dinesh’ advices him to not feel dejected as even after being affected with the virus, he is still part of the society and may live a healthy life after following the treatment strictly.
Actors who performed in the play were Brijesh Avtar Sharma, Kananpreet Kaur, Sushant Singh, Riya Sharma, Chirag Anand and Kuldeep Angral.
The music of the play was rendered by Kushal Bhat whereas the lights were designed and operated by Neeraj Kant.
