They recently hosted the performance of Aamir Raza and Virat Hussain’s play Mehernama.
The hotel played a perfect host to theatre doyens and impresarios Aamir Raza Husain and his wife Virat Husain and the guests enjoyed the splendid performance and rounded off the lovely evening with cocktails and scrumptious delicacies.
A close knit group of theatre lovers sat mesmerized as each scene unfolded and took
everyone down the lanes of history. The gathering of 400 guests were completely in awe of the magnificent set depicting the emperor’s palace that reflected exquisite craftsmanship.
The fine performance by the artists and the witty one liners in between added to the richness of the experience. The play took the audience back in history where they got a chance to witness the story of Empress Nur Jahan unfold in front of their eyes on stage.
It was not just a lesson in history, it was an artistic celebration of the rich Mughal culture and opulence the country once witnessed.
This play is an extravagant drama on the life of Nur Jahan. born as Mehr-un-Nissa, was Empress of the Mughal Empire as the chief consort of Emperor Jahangir. A strong, charismatic and well-educated woman, she is considered to be one of the most powerful and influential women of the 17th century Mughal Empire.
Nur Jahan remains the only empress of india whose name appears on the coinage and currency of Hindu stan. For eighteen years she ruled this country without fear or favor, and became a model of powerful medieval womanhood. Mehernama is a Love saga between Emperor Jahangir and Empress Nur Jahan and is beautifully directed and designed by the Husains.
