- A scene from play ‘Miss World Undeclared’ directed by Neeraj Kant at Natrang’s Sunday Theatre series.
JAMMU, Apr 14: ‘Miss World Undeclared’, a new play in Hindi, written by Satyender Shrivastav and directed by Neeraj Kant, was staged here today at Natrang’s Studio Theatre Kachi Chawni in its Weekly Theatre Series, Sunday Theatre.
The play ‘Miss World Undeclared’ unfolds the sad saga of all the those people, particularly Asians who reside in the developed European countries and are subject to racial discrimination and hatred from the natives as they think their resources are shared and reduced by them.
This was showed from the point of view of a school going girl, ‘Noorie’ who is regularly bullied by her classmates who have fair complexion. They tease her for not being as beautiful as them to the extent that she decides to discontinue her education. But her mother, a very wise lady makes her realize that the criteria for being beautiful is not being fair or having external beauty, the real beauty is internal beauty and anyone with good heart and calm mind is much more beautiful than those people who are just externally good looking. Motivated by her mother, she goes to the school and comes back very happy as on that day the result of Miss World Pageant had been declared and the winner was an Indian girl. The play ends with a positive and inspirational note that “it does not matter how we look but it really matters what we are” and that is the key to real and eternal happiness.
Natrang’s young artists who presented a remarkable performance included Vineet Sharma as ‘Noorie’, Subha Rajput as ‘Mother’, Sanjana Singh and Sakshi Prakash. Lights were designed and operated by Neeraj Kant. Sumeet Sharma coordinated the show and also did the presentations.
