(Shreya Ghoshal)
After
performing to sold-out audiences in 2016, the internationally acclaimed and
award-winning ‘Queen of Bollywood’, Shreya Ghoshal, returns, by popular demand,
to serenade South African fans with yet another night of soulful melody and
music.
Shreya
will be accompanied by popular Indian vocalist, Kinjal Chattopadhyay, with
support performances by the stars of Sony Entertainment TV, Shaheer Sheikh and
Kushal Tandon. Shreya
Ghoshal Live in Concert will head to the Durban ICC on August 19,
2017.
Fans can
expect to be taken on an unforgettable musical journey as Shreya performs all
her biggest chart-toppers, fan favourites and classics including her recent hit
from the movie Half Girlfriend, Deewani Mastani (Bajiro
Mastani), Ooh La La Ooh La La (Dirty Picture), Radha on the Dancefloor
(Student of the Year), Teri Meri (Bodyguard), Manwa Laaga (Happy New Year) and
Sun Raha Hai Na Tu (Aashiqui 2), as well as the evergreen songs of Lata
Mangeshkar. Ghoshal’s production quality of her live shows are renowned
worldwide and this show will be no different.
With
Twitter fans exceeding 4.6 million and over 28 million Facebook followers,
there seems to be no end to Shreya’s success. Having entered the music industry
17 years ago, she continues to lead the Bollywood playback pack and continues
to enjoy sweeping wins at the major award shows. Aside from her illustrious
Bollywood career and being the first Indian singer to be waxed at Madame
Tussauds, Ghoshal has a pretty impressive track record. She has released
over 16 studio albums; has sung around 1500 songs in 11 Indian languages; has
over 275 nominations and 116 awards including four national awards and 15
filmfare awards and her music has seen her travel across the globe performing
in prestigious venues such as Wembley Arena in London, Rosemont Theatre in
Chicago and the Sydney Opera House in Australia.
“I am so fortunate that my music takes me around
the world, and I’m absolutely delighted that I get to return to the beautiful
South Africa,” says Ghoshal.
Rising
star (and Law Graduate from Calcutta University), Kinjal Chattopadhyay makes
his debut stage performance in South Africa alongside Shreya Ghoshal. With a
promising musical career ahead of him, Kinjal is widely recognised for
appearing on shows such as Idea Rocks India, Tara Muzik, Akash Bangla and
Zee Bangla Sa Re Ga Ma Pa.
Eagerly
awaiting their debut appearances in South Africa, Sony TV stars, Shaheer Sheik
(Dev) and Kushal Tandon (Arjun) will be the supporting acts on stage and are
sure to have their fans captivated with their performances. Maybe it’s his
droopy eyes or his infectious smile that has fans glued to Sony TV daily but the
lawyer-turned-actor, Shaheer Sheik, who fans will know as Dev from the series Kuch
Rang Pyar Ke Aise Bhi, has already bagged the Star of the Year and Most
Popular Actor for 2016 and has been stealing millions of hearts since. Kushal
Tandon, who plays opposite Jennifer Winget and Aneri Vajani on the romantic
thriller, Beyhadh, was recently voted as one of Asia’s top 50 sexiest
men and received Best Actor at the 2017 Lions Gold Awards.
