Shekhar Suman narrowly escapes deadly accident

Actor and anchor Shekhar Suman had a narrow escape while performing at the 48th show of Saif Hyder Hasan’s play ‘Ek Mulaqaat’ in Gujarat.

The incident took place when Suman was performing the climactic portion of the play at Gujarat University, Convention Centre, Ahmedabad. On stage a light weighing 30 kg toppled off from a height of 30 feet. The light browsed Shekhar Suman’s shoulder, minutely missing his head by a few inches. Shekhar Suman was performing with Deepti Naval when the incident took place.

This incident raises an important question on the set designed for performance.

“The auditorium authorities need to realise that maintenance is the key. The Gujarat Convention Centre has good but ill maintained equipment,” sid the director of the play Saif Hyder Hasan.
