INTERNATIONAL Promoter Ramjodha from New York and his local representative Dave Danny, owner of the Triple ‘D’ Fashion Store, have revealed plans for the local hosting of a Bollywood show.

At a press conference held at the SleepIn Hotel on Brickdam in downtown Georgetown, Ramjodha divulged that the show would include the Indian television and theatre actress Surbhi Jyoti. She is the female lead of the soap opera ‘Qubool Hai’, which has won her Zee Gold Awards for Gold Debut in Lead Role (Female) and Best Celebrity Jodi.

The show would include three international singers. Chintan Bakiwala, first runner up in the “K For Kishore” (Indian television popular singing contest) is expected to perform as well.

“We decided to bring “Zoya” since she is from a popular Indian series that is viewed in Guyana. She has assured us that we can expect much from her, but patrons can also look forward to excellent entertainment from the international singers, including Chintan Bakiwala, Shaiez Willu and Sangeeta from shows such as Indian Idol and K for Kishore,” he said.

The show is intended to be a “cultural event which promises good, healthy entertainment, particularly for the older folks”, according to Ramjodha. “It will also showcase local bands and local dance groups”, he said.

“Part of the proceeds from the shows will be donated to youth organizations, as there will be youth groups participating in the organising of the event,” Dave Danny said.

ZOYA
Surbhi was first paired opposite Karan Singh Grover playing the role of Zoya, a female protagonist in the Muslim backdrop show where she represented the educated progressive youth of today. After the show’s recent 20-year leap, Surbhi is now seen in her new character of ‘Sanam’.

Three shows are expected to be held: in Berbice on October 10, in Georgetown at the Everest Ground on October 11, and in Essequibo at the Anna Regina ground on October 12. Tickets will begin at a price of $2000 and will soon be available at Triple “D’ Fashion on Robb Street.
