Zee TV organised a mytho fancy dress and quiz competition in Ludhiana to select candidates for the national talent search show, which is to be organised in 10 cities of India during February and March. Yesterday, an elimination round was arranged at Ramgarhia Girls College (RGC) where the participants were divided into two categories: 5-8 years and 9-14 years. There was excitement at the college as the parents of the participants tied the little ones' dhotis, applied make up and adjusted their bows and arrows as the participants had to dress as characters from Ramayana, Mahabharata and Jai Santoshi Maa. The response was excellent. Nirmal Shah of Zee Telefilms said, "This show has been specially arranged to make children familiar with their mythological heroes and their exploits. The modern generation is more aware of Valentine's Day than of their own cultural heritage. We have had a good response to this competition and quiz in four cities, Ahmedabad, Bhopal and Indore. In Ludhiana, too, participation has been enthusiastic. Swapnil Joshi (a TV personality) was the host of the show and the judges of the show were Neenu Vij and Savita Uppal of the RGC. They had a tough time shortlisting the participants as 70 children from the first category and 60 children from the second category participated. Though the choice of characters was wide, but most of the participants chose to dress up as Shiva, Parvati, Gandhari, Rama and other popular figures. The judges screened them on the basis of their costumes, character and presentation. In the category of 5-8 years, 15 participants were selected for the finals to be held at Nehru Sidhant Kendra today. In the 9-14 years category also 15 participants were selected and these children will be participating and working hard to be selected for the national level show.  |
