Bhakar further stated that Nickelodeon's campaign 'Khulkebolo' focuses on inspiring not just kids, but also adults. It appeals to them to not let any societal burden affect the child within themselves. As we grow up, we often forget what it's like to think and express like a child. This play helped all of us reminisce our times as a child and Western Railway is happy to have provided a platform for such a performance.
Speaking on this occasion, Rohit Tiwari, founder of Theatrewaalas expressed his happiness on the association with WR and Nickelodeon and stated that the play enacts the innocent observations of a child and how they often blurt out things that they are advised not to due to their incorruptibility. As we are the keepers of our child's innocence, the play encourages parents and youths to celebrate the child within.
