Reshammiya joins jury on [V] ‘Super Singer’
MUMBAI: Lots more with musical notes and singing happening with Channel [V] Super Singer. The channel has announced the arrival of acclaimed music director Himesh Reshammiya for the final phase of auditions of Samsung [v] Super Singer.
Reshammiya joins the band-wagon to judge alongside Adnan Sami and A. R Rahman. According to a company release, Reshammiya will also be composing one of the songs for the Super Singer album. The album will be launched by the five finalists at the end of the nationwide quest.
Himesh Reshammiya has composed some melodious music for Bollywood films such as Aitraaz, Bardaasht, Dil Maange More, Humraaz, Pyar Kiya To Darna Kya, Kahin Pyaar Na Ho Jaaye and Tere Naam.
The 30 short-listed participants from the zonal round will be flown into Mumbai. Out of these 30 participants five would be short-listed by Adnan, Rahman and Himesh.
MUMBAI: Mumbai is about to witness something it has never seen before. The Global Youth Festival arrives on 6-7 December at Jio World Garden with 15,000 attendees and 60-plus experiences sprawled across six sprawling arenas. On its sixth edition, this is no ordinary jamboree—it is a carefully orchestrated collision of wellness, adventure, arts, music, yoga and social change.
Chief Minister of Maharashtra Devendra Fadnavis will throw open the proceedings with a landmark ceremony, signalling the state’s backing for a movement that has already mobilised youth across 20-plus countries and 170-plus cities. The sheer scale is staggering: 500-plus volunteers powering the machine, 600,000-plus volunteer hours logged across previous editions, and millions of lives touched annually.
The speaker roster is formidable. Diipa Büller-Khosla and Dipali Goenka, chief executive of Welspun India, will share the stage with Malaika Arora in conversations spanning leadership, creativity and culture. Union Minister for Sports and Youth Affairs Mansukhbhai Mandaviya will also attend, reinforcing GYF’s reach into the corridors of power.
But this is not mere talk. The Solaris Mainstage promises concerts from renowned Indian artists. Innerverse delivers a 360-degree LED spectacle of art, technology and sound. The Love and Care Arena houses hands-on projects spanning women’s empowerment, child education, rural upliftment and animal welfare. India’s largest outdoor sound-healing experience awaits. An inflatable obstacle course, neon drifter karts and open-sky bouldering cater to thrill-seekers.
Some have branded GYF the “Coachella of Consciousness.” Others call it “India’s Largest Sober Festival.” Spiritual visionary Pujya Gurudevshri Rakeshji, who inspired the festival, will deliver the Wisdom Masterclass. Every rupee goes to charity.
After Mumbai comes Kolkata on 14 December. New York looms next year. For one weekend in December, Mumbai becomes the epicentre of youth-driven change—and nothing will be quite the same after.
