JAMMU, Mar 7: Theatre group ‘Natrang’ here today staged Hindi play ‘Lamhon Ne Khata Ki Thi’ written by Partap Sehgal and directed by Neeraj Kant. The play focused the theme of AIDS awareness and served as a powerful weapon of its prevention.
A wife is shown betrayed by her husband as she got HIV infection from him.
Geeta got married to Mahesh, her boss 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 started falling ill and weak because of no exact disease.
After consulting a doctor and getting general health tonic, he feels better for few days but his health deteriorates again and he shows the symptoms of being HIV positive.
On getting properly checked, he got diagnosed with HIV positive, moreover he had transmitted the same to his wife and probably to the upcoming child unknowingly. 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 infection from there. This brings a gush of the feeling of repentance and remorse in Mahesh.
‘Dinesh’ requests 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, Diksha Pandita, Khushal Bhat and Kuldeep Angral.
Music of the play was rendered by Sagar Gupta whereas lights were designed and operated by Neeraj Kant. The show was coordinated by Mohd Yaseen.
