terrorist

etimes.in / Sep 05, 2019, 13.06 PM IST

A unique storytelling session titled Framed As a Terrorist was recently staged at Bhartendu Natya Akademi in Gomti Nagar. The event was unique as it was based on a true story of a boy named Mohd Aamir Khan, who was framed as a terrorist and was jailed for 14 years before he was set free by the court. His whole journey was depicted beautifully by Lucknow-based actor Vijit Singh, through his story telling session. "It was really difficult for me to prepare this act. More so because whatever I was narrating on stage was real. It actually gave me goosebumps," shared Vijit. And, it wasn't Vijit alone, even the keen audience sat in pin drop silence throught the one and a half hour act. The one-man show by Vijit took the audience through different phases of Aamir's life -- from a carefree teenager to the time he was framed as a terrorist by the police to the time he lost his dad and how his then girl friend and now wife helped him come out of jail. When Vijit quoted Aamir's words from his biography where his dad advised him to look for good people in the jail had everyone moved to tears. And the moving act came to a surprise end, when the audience was asked to sit back, and from the audience came the man on whose life the story was based -- Amir! "What? He was there between us all this while?" exclaimed someone from the audience. Aamir was welcomed on stage with a thunderous applause. When asked to share his experience, he said, "More than being nervous, I was excited to see how a theatrical representation of my life would look like. The only thing that I would like to urge people is that one should not declare someone a criminal until the final verdict comes."
