About the Play:
Ananya is the inspiring journey of an ordinary girl with extraordinary courage. A brilliant student, full of life and dreams, Ananya seemed to have everything, a promising career, a loving fiancé, and a future filled with possibilities. But a tragic accident changed her world overnight. Hope faded, relationships crumbled, and the applause turned into silence.
Yet, when life took everything from her, she chose not to surrender.From despair to determination, from pain to power. Ananya rises again, proving that strength is not what the world gives you, but what you discover within yourself. Ananya reminds audiences that no matter how dark the tunnel gets, the light within us can lead the way. Ananya is directed by Pratap Phad, Produced by Sejal Dipak Painter and presented by Paritosh Painter & Ideas Entertainment
