Event Description : "No One" Theatre Group presents "The Proposal" Hindi Play. 

The Proposal is a play in Hindi with a flavour of Bollywood adapted from Anton Chekhov's "A marriage Proposal" to Indian setting. It is a fast-paced play of dialogue-based action and situational humour and Satire. Raj, a long time neighbor of Shree Kamlaprasad Varma, has come with a marriage proposal for Varmaji's daughter Simran but gets into an argument with her. Simran is an independent girl who values Job and Financial independence. Raj insists her to leave the job because of his need to feel like the hero of  their relationship. So, a working wife might snatch away the feeling. In our society, the wife's job is considered less important, even if a wife works as much or even more than the husband, the wife itself is expected to do all the household chores. But simran denies all the traditional notions of a woman expected by a patriarchal society.

Watch the play to see if Raj ultimately manages to propose her or not?

Let's see if Raj and Simran will get married or not?
