Debut performance by actress Poonam Panddey in the play “Kali Salwar”, staged by director Atul Satya Koushik.
The play is an adaptation of Saadat Hasan Manto’s iconic story, attracting a seasoned theatre‑going audience.
Multiple moments of “held‑breath” silence occurred as the audience responded to Panddey’s stillness, textured dialogue delivery, and authentic emotional exposure.
The press release notes the announcement was made under an arrangement with NRDPL, and PTI disclaims editorial responsibility.
