The special episode will welcome Namrata Kumari Ojha, the wife of Galwan Martyr Sepoy Kundan Ojha along with her daughter Diksha Ojha. While an emotional yet proud Namrata Ojha spoke about her husband’s honourable duty toward his country. Listening to such brave tales of Martyr Kundan Ojha and how he eager he was to meet his daughter, the entire team of Superstar Singer 2 was left teary eyed. Judge Alka Yagnik Alka Yagnik will go on stage to give Namrata a tight hug and told her that, “We can’t even imagine the level of sacrifice Namrata ji has made for the safeguard of our country. The country has lost one soldier, but she lost her whole world. Just the thought of such selfless sacrifice moves me deeply. Even though Kundan ji could not see his daughter’s face but I am sure his blessings are always on Diksha. The great sacrifice he made for his country will return as a blessing to her and she will have a beautiful future. Salute to Namrata ji and her family.”

Deeply touched by this, host Aditya Narayan who has just become a father will also be seen getting emotional. He shares, “I feel immensely happy to see Namrata ji that you are so strong and have not lost hope and working along with taking care of your beautiful daughter. I too have a daughter, she is nearly as young as Diksha. Your daughter is really sweet and so as a small token of love, I would like to sponsor Diksha’s education. I want her future to be bright, I want her to study well and be whatever she dreams of being. I would really like it if you and Diksha could come home to meet my parents, my wife and my daughter. They will be really privileged to meet you and your daughter.”

He will also reveal his childhood desire to join the Indian Army, he added saying, “As a child, I was very passionate about the Indian Army and I wanted to be a part of it. But being the only son of my parents, it could not be possible. But whenever my country will need me, I will be the first one to be ready.”

#ZeeTheatre #presents a few #thought-provoking and #entertainingteleplays to mark the #specialoccasion of #IndependenceDay and to #celebratethespiritofIndia. On the #75thanniversary of #IndianIndependence, as we grow #introspective about our #journey as a #nation, Zee Theatre presents a few thought-provoking and entertaining teleplays to mark the special occasion. #Enacted and created by #theatreluminaries, the plays will be aired from August 13th to 15th and will showcase the #indomitable spirit of India and its #citizens.

_An overview of the plays_:

Tadbeer: Filmed by Saahil Saple, this story unfolds in the grey area between right and wrong. Starring Raj Arjun and Siddharth Menon in pivotal roles, the story revolves around P.K, a highly placed commander from a politically supported right wing group who is all set to carry out the assassination of an activist fighting for equality and freedom of speech. A young foot soldier Somu and an ex-army recruit Darshan are also entrusted with a mission that they know very little about. Once they come to know about the details of the task they are supposed to finish, will they be able to pull it off?

The teleplay also features Manoj Kolhatka and Jayant Gadekar. It will be aired on Airtel Spotlight and Dish and D2H Rangmanch Active on 13th August at 2 pm and 6 pm.

Shobha Yatra: Have we as citizens lost the ideals that won us our freedom? This teleplay directed for stage by Ganesh Yadav and for the screen by Attar Singh Saini offers an answer as it provides us an unsettling peek into the lives of six working professionals, all set to play the roles of Gandhi, Bose, Tilak, Nehru, Rani Laxmibai and Babu Genu for an Independence Day ceremony. The teleplay stars Anand Alkunte, Ayaz Khan, Chirag Vohra, Mansi Multani, Nikhil Ratnaparakhi and Sumukha S. As the story develops, we see the distance between reality and the idealism of the past. Will playing the roles of historic legends rekindle patriotism, integrity and honesty among the protagonists?

To know the answer, watch this satire that reveals multiple social ills even as it raises laughter, only on TataPlay Theatre. It will be aired on 13th August at 2 pm and 8 pm.

State vs Malti Mhaske: This adaptation of Gary Earl Ross’ award-winning courtroom drama, ‘Matter of Intent’ is directed by Nikhil Mahajan. Starring Divya Menon as the protagonist, the teleplay revolves around a 20-year-old Dalit housekeeper Malti who is accused of murdering her high-caste employer. She has little chance of proving her innocence in a system where she has been condemned even before the trial has begun. Hope comes in the form of Tara, a lawyer, who takes on rampant caste discrimination and with the help of a renowned psychiatrist puts up a brave fight to defend not just Malti but others of her kind.

The teleplay also features Divya Menon, Sagar Deshmukh, Smita Tambe and Vikram Kochhar and will be aired on Airtel Spotlight, and Dish and D2H Rangmanch Active on 14th August at 2 pm and 6 pm.

Final Solutions: Mahesh Dattani’s acclaimed play ‘Final Solutions’ examines communal conflicts through the filter of human relationships and shows us that hate is just an expression of ignorance. If we only stopped ‘othering’ people and made an effort to understand them, we would feel empathy and kinship rather than hate. The depiction of a communal riot also shows how women are undermined and subjugated regardless of the milieu they belong to. Through the voices and stories of Ramanik, Hardika, Aruna, Bobby, Javed, Tasneem and Smita, we learn how similar all human lives are and that we are more than the labels we are known by. Dattani won a Sahitya Akademi Award for the book, ‘Final Solutions and Other Plays.’

The play stars Uttara Baokar, Vipin Sharma, Samta Sagar, Lyra Dutt, Srishti Shrivastava, Alok Kumar and Niketan Sharma. It will be aired on Tata Play Theatre on 15th August at 2 pm and 8 pm.

In the ‘Independence Day’ special episode, Desh Ka Raja Beta, contestant Mani from Mohali will give a befitting tribute to his country as he performs on the soulful songs ‘Mera Rang De Basanti’ and ‘Teri Mitti’. This magical patriotic act by Mani will not only receive accolades but will also move everyone deeply leaving them teary eyed as it evoked a feeling of pride amongst everybody present there. Impressed by Mani’s performance, writer of the song ‘Teri Mitti’, Manoj Muntashir shared, “Ihad written this song 3 years ago and since then I have been listening to various versions of this song. But, today the way you sang ‘Teri Mitti’, I have never heard or seen something like this before. It was filled with so much of innocence and simplicity. You have sang this song with so much purity just like the purity our soldiers have in them when they give their life or fight for their country . Your country will truly proud of you.”

Making this moment extra special for Mani will be Ret. Paratrooper Army Chief Gurmail Singh and his wife who will be coming to cheer for Mani. Not only this, the couple will give a special blessing to Mani as they get Kada prasad for this little wonder. Truly a memorable moment for Mani.
