Summary:
Leader of Opposition Vijender Gupta was Rishi Atri, while Hoshiarpur MP Vijay Sampla played the role of Himavat, Parvati’s father. As soon as Angad walked on stage, murmurs went through the crowd, while several minutes were spent discussing who was playing the role of Rishi Atri. Vijender Gupta said: “I played some characters in Ramlila when I was in college and school, but since then, it was my first performance on a stage like this. This is not the first time that big names were seen on stage during Ramlila — but it is usually film and TV stars who play these roles. The Luv Kush Ramlila, one of the oldest in the city, roped in politicians to be part of the 10-day affair..
