[v] Super Singer audition rocks in Mumbai a day more
MUMABI: Channel [v]’s new quest to seek one voice has brought them to Pula Deshpande Academy, Ravindara Natya Auditorium, Prabhadevi, today, 10 November.
The channel had no plans earlier to extend the audition day, but, the huge response received on the first day of auditions compelled it, informs a media release.
Star’s music arm is currently conducting the last lap of the city auditions of the Samsung [v] Super Singer.
Speaking to indiantelevision.com, Channel [v]’s head honcho Amar K Deb says, “The turn out has been phenomenal. We are currently auditioning over three thousand aspirants.”
When quizzed, Deb states the reason sighted for a large out: “It is nothing but mere faith that the viewers resort in us.”
Although he was loathe giving out the specifics, Deb mentioned that televised version of the audition will air early December.
Although the channel has been relatively low key on the promotion front but in a bid to do some last minute hammering the VJ’s have been doing rounds of the local McDonald’s outlets to publicise the audition.
Additionally, the channel had beefed up the duration of it’s on-air promotions and consistent advertising through VJ activation.
Currently, the aspirants voices are being adjunct strictly on a first come-first serve basis at the auditorium. Adnam Sami along with the other judges at the auditorium are giving the aspirants an opportunity to pitch their voices to attain the throne of the Samsung [v] Super Singer.
The channel officials claim that [v] Super Singer auditioned over 18,500 contenders, who were thronging audition venues in Delhi, Chandigarh, Jaipur, Kolkata, Indore, Hyderabad Cochin, Bangalore and Ahmedabad.
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.
