This triggers the part of her that is struggling with life without her husband being around and kicks starts a rollercoaster of banter,bickering, frustration, her love for theBollywood star and other nonsense through her story from childhood to now, until a phone call from her husband who’s in the gulf tells her about an opportunity where she can meet her idol, her love Salman Khan.
Across this, almost one-hour play, Salma details out her shenanigans as a young girl and then how her life is caught up in the daily grind of household chores She finds a joyful escape in her love for Salman Khan, who she supports strongly and fiercely defends him against all the allegations that might have been hurled at him.
The play comes across as a satire about the difficulties of early marriages, loneliness, fan following and ignorance. In its core, it is political and gender conscious.
