Amity students mesmerise the audience with their outstanding performance in the play titled “Sita Vanvas”
Amity School of Film and Drama (ASFD), Amity University Uttar Pradesh, Noida campus, organized a play titled “Sita Vanvas”, presented by the second and third-year acting students of Amity School of Film & Drama. The play portrays the story of Goddess Sita, wife of Lord Shri Ram from the Uttara Kand in Ramayana, taking the audience deep into the final, heart wrenching moments of the Ramayana.
This play has been written by well renowned writer, Shri Agah Hashra Kashmiri which depicts the chronicles and the bittersweet reunion of Luv-Kush with their father Rama after Sita has been separated from him, even after the Agni-Pareeksha. This emotional riveting play captures the pain of loss, the joy of reunion and the ultimate tragedy as Sita allows herself to be taken by Mother Earth.

Goddess Sita is a very prominent and inspiring woman in the Indian mythology and the play was highly inspiring for the audience which depicted Goddess Sita’s exemplary attributes of courage, love, devotion and sacrifice. We all must inculcate these values in our lives and take pride in our Indian mythology, history, culture and heritage.”
The characters of the play were portrayed by the students of ASFD including Shreya Choudhary who played the role of Sita, while another student Atharva Verma essayed the character of Ram. Fardeen Khan played the role of Laxman, Gautam Prakash played Hanuman, Nandini Saini portrayed the role of Kush, Dhairya Taneja played Guru Valmiki. Sanwal Sehgal played Durmukh, Shivansh Raj as Rajak , Namami Rana as Prithvi and Rajaki, Sidhaant Sood as Guru Vashisht, Shivansh Raj as Vibhishan and Arjun as Nagarajan.
