A show of the play 'My Name is Jaan' was organized on Friday at Bal Gandharva Theater in Bandra, Mumbai. Arpita Chatterjee is in the lead role in this drama based on the life of famous dancer and singer Gauhar Jaan. Many dignitaries including famous actor Anupam Kher, TV9 Network MD and CEO Barun Das, actress Juhi Babbar were present to watch the drama.
On this occasion, famous actor Anupam Kher praised the drama and Arpita Chatterjee's acting. He said that today as an actor I can say that I have learned a lot by watching this play. It was an unforgettable evening for Arpita Chatterjee. Anupam Kher and Arpita have played the character of Gauhar Jaan very well.
During this, Anupam Kher became very emotional. He said that I first came here in 1981 to do my work as a teacher. I had come on foot that day and even today due to traffic jam I had to walk. Kher said that if you want to come to the theatre, you will have to walk. Kher threw light on all the nuances of the play. He said that Arpita's performance was good.
It's been a long time since I've seen such a diverse range of emotions. As a fellow artiste, I feel that Arpita has an amazing ability to convey voice and drama. Whatever he sang was amazing. I felt strange sitting in the front row. When I am doing a performance and someone I know is sitting in front, I ask them to go back and sit.
Actress Juhi Babbar also praised Arpita's performance. He said that my old friend Arpita has acted in this play. Anoop (Soni) had done a Bengali film many years ago. Arpita was Anoop's heroine. Their friendship is very old. When she came to Mumbai, she called me so I came to watch the play. Arpita is a very intelligent actress. She looked very different in the drama. His acting has become quite strong. Making something about your culture and your artists is a big thing. it should be done. it need. We have to do something. Juhi Babbar said that we are only running after western.
He said that Arpita acted for one and a half hours. He has done amazing acting. An artist is an artist. Men and women are not like that. I also have a monologue so I know how much work goes into it. I know how to connect with the audience. Juhi said that I think whatever Arpita does will be great.
Barun Das, a writer of the play and CEO and MD of TV9 Network, also expressed his sentiments. Anupam ji, you said that I was sitting in front, so I must have felt a little strange, but while watching all this, I was wondering whether I sit somewhere in all these things? We do business. We look at profit and loss but whenever I come to such programs, I really feel that we are contributing less in some things in the society.
He further said that I have been a part of this drama since day one. I have also suggested changes in the script to the director many times. Arpita Chatterjee's contribution in this drama is really remarkable. Not only Arpita, but everyone from the director of this play to the background artist has worked very hard. Watching this drama will truly be a wonderful experience for the audience.
