Hema Malini thrills Nobel Laureates at IIIT Allahabad Science Conclave

Allahabad: Padmasri Hema Malini and her talented-troupe's scintillating performance thrilled all the Nobel Laureates attending the Nobel Laureates' Science Conclave at the Indian Institute of Information Technology, Allahabad (IIIT-A).

Hema Malini, who flew into Allahabad on Tuesday morning with a troupe of over 40 performers, got a grand welcome and a standing ovation for her terrific performance that held the entire audience spell-bound for almost two hours.

Most Nobel Laureates were seen busy clicking photographs and videos of the performance.

In a performance on the second day of the Conclave that lasted more than an hour, Hema Malini's troupe performed various acts in continuity using different Indian dance forms and styles. While the main performance was a ballet that talked about Krishna's love for Radha, there were other theatrical and musical depictions of how Krishna overcomes and fights with a demon and so on.

Her performance was attended and watched with rapt attention by more than 2000 students and scientists from all over the country and even abroad.

Other artistes like Peenaz Masani, Shradha Sharma, Anoop Jalota, Shovana Narayan and Bhupinder and Mitali will also perform during the week-long science conclave.
