<div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify; "><span style="font-size: 1rem;"><b>A natural human instinct, "Abdar" (or indulgence) is something that often occurs between people. It is a common trait that people usually ask from others, especially those close to them. In this context, "Jamai Abdar", a special Drama directed by Naznin Hasan Khan and written by playwright Rajib Moni Das, explores the nuances of indulgence within the family dynamics.</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The story revolves around Nadim, a successful businessman whose greed seems insatiable. His constant desire for more goes beyond the usual cravings, leading him to frequently demand various things from his in-laws. Whenever possible, he asks about the items brought from abroad. However, he cannot seem to learn what has been brought, which fuels his suspicions. Nadim begins to believe that his in-laws are hiding things from him, wondering why he hasn’t received anything. His brother-in-law tells him that he has arrived in the country with only one shirt and has nothing to give. Nadim refuses to believe this and accuses him of joking. Later, Nadim shares his dream of owning an expensive bike with his wife, asking her to buy him a Bike worth 4 to 5 lakh. Despite his wife’s refusal to tell her brother about this request, Nadim openly insists on his desire, which brings shame and discomfort to the family.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">In the end, Nadim threatens his wife with divorce if she doesn’t give him the money for the bike. Whether Nadim’s strange and unreasonable demands will be met by his brother-in-law, Zakir, is a question that the audience will find out by watching the play.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">When asked about the story, Rajib Moni Das explained, “The indulgence of a son-in-law in a father-in-law's home has almost become a routine, as if it’s a property owed to him. This Drama, while fictional, is a reflection of society. This type of thoughtless demand has become common in every neighborhood, and it is something we must move beyond.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Naznin Hasan Khan, the director, discussed the message behind the play, saying, “Indulgence may be natural, but it should always be discussed and agreed upon. A son-in-law may receive help from his in-laws in times of need, but making demands, exerting pressure, or even mistreating one’s wife is totally unacceptable. These are issues seen in many homes today, and this Drama was made to address such behavior. We hope that the audience will take a strong message from it.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify; ">The role of the greedy son-in-law, Nadim, is played by popular actor A.K.M. Hasan. His wife is portrayed by Punam Hasan Jui. Other notable cast members include Tarik Swapan, Sahela Akter, and Farid Hossain. Through their performances, the Drama aims to highlight the negative impacts of such behavior in modern families, while also delivering a meaningful social message.</div>
