Deepal Shaw of the famous music video kabhi aar kabhi paar recently paid a visit to the Byculla Jail to interact with the inmates. It was a part of the program organized by the Mumbai based organization AVITOKO, which works for the welfare of underprivileged children and prison inmates using theatre and art as a medium of change.
Deepal was quite amazed looking at the cells. She claimed that they looked more like hostel rather than jail, a sight that relieved her a lot. She interacted mainly with the women inmates there who were waiting to greet her with smiles on their faces.
Deepal spent lot of time with the inmates talking about their problems and also organized an acting workshop for them. She was quite impressed with their enthusiasm as the inmates prepared scripts on social issues like AIDS awareness and female infanticide.
Deepal Shaw who went there to add color into dull lives of the prisoners herself came out enlightened from this whole experience. Besides due to her lovely behavior with the jail inmates, they no longer refer to her ‘Deepal Shaw’ but just Deepal.
