In the play "The Play" by Hiren Kavad, the character Megh continues on his journey, feeling exhausted but finds peace in his memories at his birthplace. The scene shifts to Mahānād, who returns to find the news spreading around. He is taken to Shiva Bhavan, where he struggles with his feelings of inadequacy after stepping off the stage, feeling he has not fully embodied his character. Shiva addresses Mahānād, reminding him that truth is the only remedy and that everyone is merely a part of a greater play. He emphasizes that understanding comes from experience, not just listening. This resonates with Mahānād, who approaches Shiva and finds solace in his embrace, realizing his true nature as part of joy itself. Shiva reassures him to not give importance to all events, implying that the confusion he felt was not truly him but part of another character, Megh. The play concludes with themes of self-discovery and the nature of existence as a shared performance.
