Ek Lamhaa Zindagi: Heartfelt theatrical tribute to enduring love and passion at Shoolini University

Solan, November 10
Acclaimed theatre artist Juhi Babbar Soni brought to life a moving and unforgettable love story in her latest theatrical presentation, Ek Lamhaa Zindagi – A Love Story (1938–1979), staged at Shoolini University.
The play, which has also premiered to audiences across India, captivated viewers with its blend of emotion, poetry, patriotism, and human connection, tracing the journey of two extraordinary souls — Sajjad and Razia, the maternal grandparents of Juhi Babbar Soni.
Penned by Nadira Zaheer Babbar, Noor Zaheer, and Juhi Babbar Soni, the play was directed by Makaranda Deshpande and Juhi Babbar Soni, with thoughts beautifully compiled and performed by Juhi herself. Through evocative storytelling and heartfelt performances, the production portrayed a timeless love story between a man deeply devoted to his nation and a woman who loved him for that very passion.
Ek Lamhaa Zindagi stood as a tribute not only to Juhi Babbar Soni’s grandparents but also to the enduring spirit of love that transcends generations. The performance reaffirmed the strength of human emotion and the profound connection between art, memory, and legacy.
At Shoolini University, the play was organised as part of the institution’s commitment to offering a multidisciplinary approach to education. Theatre provides students with a wide range of creative and emotional experiences, nurturing empathy, expression, and cultural understanding. The University’s vibrant theatre culture continues to enrich student life and foster a unique blend of artistic and academic excellence.
