Chronicle Reporter, Bhopal, On Day Two of three-day theater festival Srajan Mahotsav, Young Theater Foundation staged a play Saiyaan Beimaan at Shaheed Bhavan on Sunday.
The play shows how the children start ignoring their parents when they grow old. The children forget their responsibilities towards their parents as they chase dreams of a better life.
The play depicts a couple whose two sons live in different cities due to better salaries. The old couple rent half their house to a young couple, who give them love and respect.

Towards the end of the play, both sons realise their mistake and apologise to their parents after seeing the gesture of Dr Jittan.
