Senior Citizens celebrate Valentine’s Day at Fortis

DATE14th February 2020 - 14th February 2020

About 200 members of Mohali Senior Citizens Association celebrated Valentine’s Day at Fortis Hospital Mohali here today. The auditorium of the hospital was well decorated with heart-shaped red balloons and the senior citizens were in symbolic red attire. The program started with the short one-act, ‘The Proposal’. The older people were reminded of their youth and college life. A scene was created ‘Prem Dhaba’ where the senior couples came bubbling with valentine spirits, in which five couples participated.

It was a candlelight dinner scene where the senior citizens opened up their hearts for proposing their loved ones. Every dialogue was properly chiseled & striking. When the proposals materialized, ‘newly-wed’ couples sang love songs to mark the occasion. All participants were given prizes by Fortis Mohali.

The whole event was anchored by Secretary of the association, Harjinder Singh & President Mr. S. Chaudhary. Celebrations concluded with everyone dancing to the latest Bollywood tunes. Fortis & Mohali Senior Citizens Association have been organizing such lively events for the last 11 years.
