creativity
you

in
such
circumstances,
is
a
source
of
inspiration
for
artists
like
us.
We'll
keep
entertaining
you
at
our
best
and
we
hope
all
of
you
get
out
of
here
as
soon
as
possible," Richa

Thanking
the
stars
for
their
kind
gesture
and
for
accepting
the
invitation
to
be
a
part
of
the

in

Jail

welcome
these
artists
here
today
who
have
come
all
the
way
form
Mumbai
on
our
request."
Tihar
jail
DIG
Mukesh
Prsad
also
thanked
the
actors
and
appreciated
the
enthusiasm
of
the
inmates
on
the
occasion.
"It
was
an
attempt
to
reduce
the
depression
among
the
inmates
and
the
dullness
in
their
lives.
These
events
help
in
creating
a
better,
positive
and
joyous
environment
for
the
inmates," Chauhan

Nikhil,
who
is
playing
the
male

in
the

said,
"We
would
look
forward
to
visit
this
amazing
place
again,
but
we
hope
we
don't
see
all
of
you
here
again.
We
pray
to
god
that
you
get
back
with
your
families
as
soon
as
possible.
It
is
easy
to
portray
life
of
an
inmate
on
screen
but
I
can
feel
how
difficult
it
is
for
you
people
to
stay
away
from
your
loved
ones."
DIG
Mukesh
Prasad
and
jail
superintendent
Rajesh
Chuhan
also
felicitated
the
stars
