Radio City to play the magic of Kishore Kumar
MUMBAI: Radio City 91FM is paying tribute to the legendary singer Kishore Kumar on the occasion of his birth anniversary on 4 August.
Radio City will play the magic of Kishore Kumar under the theme Hafta Band for an entire week.
At the Radio City studio, Kishore Kumar’s wife Leena Chandarvarkar and son Sumit Kumar interacted with listeners live on-air while Babul Supriyo took in requests from the listeners and sung Kishore Kumar’s legendary songs in his own unique way, informs an official release.
Radio City CEO Apurva Purohit said, “Inviting Kishore Kumar’s wife and son to the studio to share some special moments of his life with the listeners was Radio City’s way of paying tribute to the legend. Every music lover holds Kishore Kumar very close to his heart and so is the case with Radio City. Kishoreji’s timeless melodies are immortalized in the minds of million of his fans and Babul Supriyo along with his troop re-created the magic by performing live on-air some of his songs.”
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.
