Anup Jalota Steals Hearts As Bahar-E-Urdu 2025 Concludes In Splendour At Dome SVP Stadium
As the golden lights shimmered inside Dome SVP Stadium, the grand finale of Bahar-E-Urdu 2025 unfolded — marking 50 glorious years of the Maharashtra Urdu Sahitya Academy. The evening was a breathtaking celebration of words, wit, and the warmth of a language that continues to define India’s cultural conscience.
The day began with youthful exuberance at the Inter-Collegiate Bait Baazi, where young poets from across Maharashtra paid tribute to the legends of Urdu through verses that sang of love, longing, and laughter. Hosted by Shamim Iqbal Momin and Mukhlis Madoo, the competition proved that Urdu’s legacy rests safe in the hands — and hearts — of the next generation.
A poignant theatrical presentation, Zameen Ka Ek Tukda by Iqbal Niyazi, followed — its narrative laced with emotion, echoing themes of belonging and humanity.
Laughter found its moment through Hasya Kavi Kaleem Samar, whose humour shone with linguistic brilliance, while Monika Singh, Additional Collector, Solapur, lent grace and gravitas with her evocative shayari.
And then came the night’s divine crescendo.
Anup Jalota, the maestro of melody, took the stage — and with each ghazal, filled the Dome with reverence and nostalgia. His voice was a bridge between the classical and the contemporary, between devotion and desire. Reflecting on Urdu’s essence, he said, “Urdu is not a language you speak — it is the breath you take when your heart begins to sing.”
The celebrations deepened with the Awards Ceremony, hosted by Shekhar Suman and Priya Malik, honouring poets, teachers, journalists, and authors whose words have shaped the course of Urdu literature. Each award was not just a recognition — it was a bow to fifty years of commitment to culture and creativity.
Finally, Shabab Sabri’s powerful Qawwali resonated the Dome, adding the electrifying cresendo to the charged ambience.
And a the National Anthem played and the curtains descended, Bahar-E-Urdu left behind more than applause — it left behind a promise.
A promise that Urdu will continue to breathe through Mumbai’s veins, whisper through its poets, and rise once again — every time a verse is born.

ممبئی : روشنیوں میں جگمگاتے ورلی کے ڈوم ایس وی پی اسٹیڈیم میں مہاراشٹر ساہتیہ اردو اکیڈمی کے 50 سالہ جشن “بہار اردو” کا شاندار اختتام عمل میں آیا ہے۔ سہ روزہ پروگرام کے آخری دن ہندوستانی ثقافت اور اردو زبان و ادب کا ایک حسین امتزاج پیش کیا گیا۔
بہار کا دو کے تیسرے اور آخری دن کا آغاز انٹر کالجیٹ بیت بازی مقابلے سے ہوا جس میں طلبہ نے مختلف راؤنڈس میں شعر و شاعری سے سامعین کو محظوظ کیا۔ یہ جہاں ایک مقابلہ تھا وہیں اس میں اردو کے مشہور شعرا کے ناموں پر بنائی گئی ٹیموں سے ان شعرا کو خراج تحسین بھی پیش کیا گیا۔ بیت بازی کے مقابلے میں شمیم اقبال مومن اور مخلص مدو کی میزبانی نے ثابت کیا کہ اردو کی میراث اگلی نسل کے ہاتھوں اور دلوں میں محفوظ ہے۔
بیت بازی کے بعد “زمین کا ایک ٹکڑا” کے عنوان سے ڈرامہ پیش کیا گیا جس کا بیانیہ جذبات سے لبریز تھا اور اس ڈرامے میں تعلق اور انسانیت کے موضوعات کی بازگشت بھی سنائی دیتی ہے۔ اس ڈرامے کی ہدایات اقبال نیازی نے دی تھی۔
ڈرامے کے بعد طنز و مزاح کے معروف شاعر کلیم ثمر نے اپنے مزاحیہ کلام سے سامعین کو لطف اندوز کیا۔ وہیں سولا پور کی ایڈیشنل کلکٹر مونیکا سنگھ نے اپنی خوبصورت شاعری پیش کی جس پر سامعین نے دل کھول کر دل کھول کر داد دی۔
شام کے اوقات میں معروف غزل گلوکار انوپ جلوٹا نے اسٹیج سنبھالا اور بہترین غزلیں پیش کی۔ انہوں نے کہا کہ “اردو وہ زبان نہیں ہے جسے آپ بولتے ہیں – یہ وہ سانس ہے جو آپ لیتے ہیں جب آپ کا دل گانا شروع کرتا ہے۔”
بعد ازاں شیکھر سمن، امتیاز خلیل اور پریا ملک کی میزبانی میں تقسیم ایوارڈ کی تقریب منعقد ہوئی جس میں اردو، شعرا، ادبا، صحافی، نوآموز قلمکار، لے آؤٹ ڈیزائنر، اساتذہ اور مصنفین کی خدمات کا اعتراف کرتے ہوئے انہیں ایوارڈ سے سرفراز کیا گیا۔
آخر میں معروف گلوکار شباب صابری نے اپنے مشہور کلام اور دیگر فلمی نغموں سے ڈوم ایس وی پی اسٹیڈیم اور اس میں موجود شرکا کو اس سرشار کر دیا۔ شباب صابری کے نغمات پر نوجوان سامعین میں قابل ذکر جوش و خروش نظر آیا۔
آخری میں قومی ترانے کے ساتھ مہاراشٹر ساہتیہ اردو اکیڈمی کے 50 سالہ جشن “بہار اردو” کا اختتام عمل میں آیا۔ بہار اردو کے تینوں دن نہ صرف اہلیان ممبئی بلکہ دیگر شہروں سے آئے ہوئے لوگوں نے نمایاں جوش و خروش نظر آیا ہے۔ یہ ایک وعدہ کہ اردو ممبئی کی رگوں میں سانس لیتی رہے گی، اپنے شاعروں کے ذریعے سرگوشی کرتی رہے گی، اور ایک بار پھر سے اٹھے گی – جب بھی کوئی شعر جنم لے گا۔

अनूप जलोटा ने बाँधे सुरों के मनके, बहार-ए-उर्दू 2025 का भव्य समापन डोम एसवीपी स्टेडियम में
जब डोम एसवीपी स्टेडियम की सुनहरी रोशनी शाम की नर्म हवा में घुली, तो बहार-ए-उर्दू 2025 का अंतिम अध्याय खुला — और इसके साथ ही मनाया गया महाराष्ट्र उर्दू साहित्य अकादमी के 50 सुनहरे वर्ष। यह शाम थी शब्दों, शायरी, सुरों और एहसास की — जिसने मुंबई को उर्दू की खुशबू में डुबो दिया।
दिन की शुरुआत हुई जोश और जज़्बे से भरे इंटर-कॉलेजिएट बैतबाज़ी मुकाबले से, जहाँ महाराष्ट्र के विभिन्न कॉलेजों के नौजवान शायरों ने उर्दू के अदीबों को अपने अल्फ़ाज़ से सलाम किया। मेज़बान शमिम इक़बाल मोमिन और मुख़लिस माडू ने इस मुशायरे को ऐसी रवानी दी कि लगा — उर्दू की रूह आज भी इन दिलों में ज़िंदा है।
इसके बाद मंच सजा इक़बाल नियाज़ी के नाट्य प्रस्तुति ज़मीन का एक टुकड़ा के लिए — एक ऐसी कहानी जिसने इंसानियत, दर्द और अपनेपन की दास्तां को संवेदनशीलता से पिरोया।
फिर मुस्कुराहटों की बारी आई, जब हास्य कवि कलीम समर ने अपनी ज़ुबान की नर्मी और लफ़्ज़ों की चमक से सबको हंसी में डुबो दिया। मोनिका सिंह, अतिरिक्त कलेक्टर, सोलापुर, ने अपने अशआर से शाम में नज़ाकत और नूर दोनों भर दिए।
और फिर — हवा में ख़ामोशी उतर आई।
अनूप जलोटा, सुरों के बादशाह, मंच पर आए।
हर ग़ज़ल, हर आलाप के साथ उन्होंने डोम को भक्ति, मोहब्बत और यादों के समुंदर में बदल दिया।
उन्होंने उर्दू की रूह को यूँ बयान किया — “उर्दू कोई ज़ुबान नहीं, वो साँस है जो दिल के गाने के साथ चलती है।”
इसके बाद शेखर सुमन और प्रिया मलिक की मेज़बानी में हुआ अवार्ड सेरेमनी, जहाँ उर्दू के कवियों, शिक्षकों, पत्रकारों और लेखकों को उनके अद्वितीय योगदान के लिए सम्मानित किया गया। हर अवार्ड, उर्दू की आधी सदी की मेहनत और मुहब्बत को सलाम था।
अंत में शबाब सबरी की क़व्वाली ने डोम एसवीपी स्टेडियम को इबादतगाह में बदल दिया — जहाँ सुर दुआ बन गए, ताल सजदा बन गई, और उर्दू फिर अमर हो गई।
जब राष्ट्रगान की गूंज फैली और परदे गिरे, तो बहार-ए-उर्दू अपने पीछे सिर्फ़ तालियाँ नहीं छोड़ गया —
वो छोड़ गया एक वादा।
एक वादा कि उर्दू मुंबई की रगों में बहती रहेगी,
हर शायर की साँस में गूँजती रहेगी,
और हर बार फिर जन्म लेगी — जब भी कोई नया शेर लिखा जाएगा।

This show was inaugurated on 14th October 2025 by Ms. Manju Ramesh Chouhan(Staff member of Jehangir Art Gallery) in the presence of Mr. Padmanabh Bendre(Eminent Artist), Pradeep Chandra(Eminent Photographer & Author), Mr. Uttam Jain(Patron Hindustan Chamber of Commerce), Mr. Snehal N. Muzoomdar(President, Indian Musicological Society), Mr. K.K. Tated(Chairman, committee to monitor Animal Welfare) among others.
VISTHAPAN
The dynamics of separation underlined with an inherent trauma informs Vishwa Sahni’s works that are at once dramatic and purposeful. It may be in the separation of families, lovers or the colossal migrations that the world is presently mired in, that all inspire Sahni to find rendition on canvas. On cursory viewing he appears to bring out only the pain and unhappiness that reflects these separations. However, there is a hopefulness when this artist assures us that deep in the heart and soul there is a binding that even in what seems an adverse situation. The growing fondness in the heart bearing the weight of the separation, stays faithful to the memory. The oils are very expressive as those who inhabit his canvas make their presence felt despite the haze they reside in. The haze they reside in screens them offering a sense of community binding as they huddle together in a shared condition, their existence never diminished.
For more than a decade now artists all over the world have expressed angst and anguish over the growing migration situation. The politics of migration has incessantly inspired all art practioners especially artists and poets. It all began in 2011 when more than 14 million Syrians were forced to flee their homes in search of safety from a violent government that had cracked down on the citizens following public demonstrations in support of teenagers who had been arrested for anti-government graffiti. The intense response to dissent and the heightened tensions surrounding freedom of expression resulted in forced migration, often leading to complex challenges such as mental health issues and the need for new protection frameworks. Historically artists are known to respond naturally to such intense situations using their art to illustrate the degenerating power dynamics of politics, human vulnerability, and border issues.
There is an undeniable arresting power in Sahni’s work. Matured over time Sahni has been exploring themes of exodus, displacement, and separation in his work, using an overriding haze obliterating identity to depict and focus on the hardships and experiences of refugee communities. They seem at times to exist within a discreet existence. Their shared journeys become an intimate binding. Family separations are a significant social feature he delves on. However the decision to re-partner after separation makes his work highlight the complex interplay between displacement and the experience of being separated from one’s homeland and living in a no man’s land situation.
Sixty one year old Sahni moved to Mumbai and has a studio in the northern suburbs. Coming from the bucolic hinterland away from open pastures in the midst of nature to a concrete maze his own migration speaks volumes of adjusting while attempting to establish roots. The route is always lined with the painful paves of yearning and longing. However since 2018 he has to his credit several solo exhibitions across the city, participations in group shows and artists’ camps. Migration toughens the body and soul while burying beneath all the anguish of separation and shielding deep within a warmth of the beginnings.

Sudeshna Sil’s work reflects her sensitivity, influenced by Bengal’s nature and art training. Through watercolour, mixed media, and fabric, she portrays nature’s depth, offering escape from city life.
Sudip Biswas, a notable modern Indian painter, creates stories of quiet feelings, cultural remembrance, and tradition. Benaras and the Ganga influence his paintings, which combine abstraction and figuration. His recent awards highlight the impact of his work.

भारत रत्न लता मंगेशकर, ज्यांना प्रेमाने दीदी म्हणून ओळखले जाते, यांच्या ९६व्या जयंतीनिमित्त यशवंतराव चव्हाण नाट्यगृह, कोथरूड, पुणे येथे भव्य दिदी पुरस्कार प्रदान सोहळा झाला. शिरीष थिएटर आयोजित या कार्यक्रमात संगीत क्षेत्रातील दिग्गज आणि सांस्कृतिक व्यक्तिमत्त्वे एकत्र आली होती.

हा सोहळा पुण्यातील सर्वात हृदयस्पर्शी सांस्कृतिक संध्याकाळींपैकी एक ठरला आणि सिद्ध केले की दीदींचा आवाज जरी शांत झाला असला तरी त्यांचा आत्मा प्रत्येक स्वरात जिवंत आहे.

This show was inaugurated on 8th October 2025 by Honourable Guest – Prakash Bal Joshi(Veteran Visual Artist), in the presence of Dr. Sanjay Bhide ( Founder, Convenor and secretary TACCI), Mukesh Parpiani(Legendary Photojournalist) among others.
A science graduate, a career banker, Sateesh’s creative pursuits have spanned decades, guided in his formative years by veterans such as M. S. Joshi and Prabhakar Kolte. His transition from painting to photography feels seamless; both disciplines share in his intuitive engagement with light, texture, and the quiet drama of surfaces.
Active in the Indian and international art scene since 2003, Sateesh has exhibited in venues such as the Birla Academy (Mumbai), Bajaj Art Gallery, Monalisa Kalagram (Pune), and Jehangir Art Gallery (Mumbai), as well as online juried exhibitions in Dubai and the United States. His interdisciplinary sensibility also extends to publishing, notably, a book of thirty Marathi poems paired with his paintings and photographs, and the design of Aflatoon Mumbai, published by Granthali.
Sateesh’s photography reflects an acute painter’s eye for form and balance. His approach aligns closely with the Japanese Wabi-Sabi aesthetic, valuing impermanence, irregularity, and the marks of time, yet he adapts this sensibility to an Indian urban and material context. The corroded wall, the fractured reflection, or the softened light on a weathered surface become meditations on how time sculpts beauty. Rather than documenting decay, his images transform it into a language of resilience and luminous transformation. Through this disciplined attentiveness, Sateesh positions his work as a contemplative counterpoint to contemporary visual excess, reaffirming that the act of seeing . . . measured . . . patient and perceptive . . . remains one of the most profound artistic gestures.

The show will be hosted by Shekhar Suman and Ali Asgar, closing with a spirited Sufi/Qawwali night led by the legendary Sabri Brothers.
Day Two (7th October) continues the celebration with a Mushaira by young poets, an academic seminar on the Urdu language, a vibrant fashion show, and a dastangoi performance. The evening highlights include a soulful Sufi performance by Jhelum Singh, alongside the distribution of 156 awards across various categories.

The finale will be hosted by Shekhar Suman, culminating in a grand finale by none other than Padma Shri Anup Jalota, whose ghazals have mesmerised audiences worldwide.
A Living Legacy
Urdu has always been more than a language — it is a bridge of cultures, emotions, and shared heritage. For fifty years, the Maharashtra Urdu Sahitya Academy has nurtured this legacy, encouraging poets, writers, artists, and performers to carry forward the flame. Bahar-e-Urdu is not just a celebration of the past but also a promise for the future — reaffirming the Academy’s commitment to preserve and promote Urdu’s beauty for generations to come.

मुंबई, 7 अक्टूबर 2025: बहार-ए-उर्दू का दूसरा दिन, महाराष्ट्र उर्दू साहित्य अकादमी की पचासवीं वर्षगांठ का उत्सव, डोम SVP स्टेडियम, वर्ली में उर्दू की वाक्पटुता, बुद्धि और भावना को समर्पित एक भव्य श्रद्धांजलि के रूप में जगमगा उठा।
दिन की शुरुआत एक ओपन माइक मुशायरा से हुई, जहाँ युवा कवियों कायम शाह, अहमद सईद, पायल पांडे, ज़ैन लखिमपुरी, रियाज़ आसी, शौकत अली, अदनान शेख, मयंक वर्मा, इमरान अताई और मकसूद आफ़ाक़ ने युवा जोश और दिल से निकले शब्दों से माहौल को जीवंत कर दिया।
इसके बाद दो विद्वतापूर्ण सत्र हुए। “महाराष्ट्र में उर्दू अदब” सत्र का संचालन डॉ. तबस्सुम खान ने किया, जिसमें शोधपत्र डॉ. शेख अह़रार अहमद (ठाणे) और डॉ. काज़ी नवीद सिद्दीक़ी (औरंगाबाद) ने प्रस्तुत किए, जबकि डॉ. अब्दुल्ला इम्तियाज़ अहमद (मुंबई) और प्रो. शाहिद नुखेज़ (हैदराबाद) ने विचार साझा किए।
अगला सत्र “आधुनिक प्रौद्योगिकी और उर्दू” मोहम्मद इर्फ़ान रज़ा के संचालन में हुआ, जिसमें डॉ. मोहम्मद तबिश खान (भिवंडी), डॉ. लियाकत अली (दिल्ली), डॉ. परवेज़ अहमद और डॉ. महमूद मिर्ज़ा ने उर्दू की डिजिटल दुनिया में बढ़ती उपस्थिति पर चर्चा की।

शाम ने कवियों, लेखकों, पत्रकारों, शिक्षकों और डिज़ाइनरों को उनके योगदान के लिए सम्मानित किया, और समापन हुआ साबरी ब्रदर्स की मनमोहक कव्वाली के साथ।
बहार-ए-उर्दू का दूसरा दिन केवल एक आयोजन नहीं था; यह विरासत, बुद्धि और कला का जीवंत उत्सव था — यह याद दिलाने वाला कि उर्दू केवल इतिहास का हिस्सा नहीं, बल्कि हर उस आवाज़ की धरोहर है जो उसके तरन्नुम में बोलने, गाने और सपने देखने की हिम्मत रखती है। जैसे-जैसे यह महोत्सव अपने अंतिम दिन की ओर बढ़ता है, एक सच्चाई हर ग़ज़ल, हर शब्द और हर तालियों में गूंजती है — उर्दू ज़िंदा है, और हमेशा की तरह उज्ज्वल, उन दिलों में जो इसे प्रेम करते हैं।

Mumbai, October 7, 2025:
The second day of Bahar-e-Urdu, celebrating fifty years of the Maharashtra Urdu Sahitya Academy, lit up the Dome SVP Stadium, Worli, with a grand tribute to Urdu’s eloquence, intellect, and emotion.
The day began with an Open Mic Mushaira, where young poets Kayam Shah, Ahad Saeed, Payal Pandey, Zain Lakhimpuri, Riyaz Aasi, Shaukat Ali, Adnan Shaikh, Mayank Verma, Imran Ataai and Maqsood Aafaque filled the hall with youthful passion and heartfelt verse.
Two scholarly sessions followed. In “Maharashtra Mein Urdu Adab,” moderated by Dr. Tabassum Khan, papers were presented by Dr. Shaikh Ahrar Ahmad (Thane) and Dr. Quazi Naveed Siddiqui (Aurangabad), with insights from Dr. Abdullah Imteyaz Ahmad (Mumbai) and Prof. Shahid Naukhez (Hyderabad). The next, “Modern Technology and Urdu,” moderated by Mohammad Irfan Raza, featured Dr. Mohd. Tabish Khan (Bhiwandi), Dr. Liaqat Ali (Delhi), Dr. Parvez Ahmad, and Dr. Mahmood Mirza, highlighting Urdu’s growing digital presence.
The evening’s Tamseeli Mushaira brought poetic icons to life, with Zahid Ali Sayyed, Manzoor Islam, Sajid A. Hameed, Raziya Baig, Noman Khan, Nuzhat Parveen Akil Kagzi, Talha Bi Saver Hashmi, Mohsin Husnuddin Shaikh, and Khan Shadab Mohammed portraying legendary poets including Mirza Ghalib, Tahir Faraz, Anjum Rehbar and Obaid Azam Azmi.
A mesmerizing Dastangoi by Fouzia Dastango and a soulful Sufi performance by Jhelum Singh — featuring “Nitt Khair Manga,” “Mere Dholna,” and “Dama Dam Mast Qalandar” — enchanted the audience.
The evening celebrated those who continue to serve Urdu through literature, education, and creativity. Awards were presented in the following categories:
Award for Emerging Writers, Layout Designing Award, Award for Urdu Journalism, Special Award, Educational Service Award, University and Degree College Level Award, School Level Award and Best Book Award.
Each award was a reminder of the many different ways Urdu is being nurtured—on the page, in the classroom, and in the community.
The evening also honoured poets, writers, journalists, educators, and designers for their contributions to Urdu, culminating in a spellbinding Qawwali by the Sabri Brothers.
Bahar-e-Urdu’s second day was not merely an event; it was a living celebration of heritage, intellect, and artistry — a reminder that Urdu does not just belong to history books, but to every voice that dares to sing, speak, and dream in its melody. As the festival prepares for its final day, one truth resounds through every ghazal, every word, and every applause — Urdu lives on, radiant as ever, in the hearts of those who love it.

Read MoreFrom Survivor To Innovator: How Fia Inamdar Is Building A Safer Internet For The Next Generation
In an era where technology connects the world but also amplifies its darkest corners, 17-year-old Fia Inamdar is showing how compassion and innovation can reclaim digital spaces. A student at Kodaikanal International School, Fia has turned her own painful experience with cyberbullying into a nationwide movement for mental health and online safety.
In 2022, she co-founded Mind Over Matter, India, a youth-led organization that dismantles the stigma surrounding mental health and creates safe spaces for young people to speak openly. The initiative has already touched more than a thousand lives through walkathons, gratitude journals, art competitions, and peer-dialogue programs. It’s a movement rooted in empathy and powered by action.
Her latest venture, CyBud, is a natural extension of that mission. CyBud is an AI-powered chatbot that serves as a digital friend to students facing cyberbullying or emotional distress. It listens, guides, and when necessary, connects users to professional mental health resources — ensuring that no young person has to navigate online trauma alone. “CyBud isn’t just a chatbot,” says Fia. “It’s a reminder that technology can care, too.”
The urgency of her work was underscored recently when actor Akshay Kumar revealed that his 13-year-old daughter had been targeted during an online game — a shocking incident that reminded the nation how unsafe the internet can be for children. Kumar’s call for cyber safety education in schools aligns perfectly with what Fia has been championing for years: that digital literacy must include emotional intelligence and mental well-being.
But Fia’s story isn’t limited to her advocacy. She’s a powerhouse of talent and resilience. A 4th Dan Black Belt in Taekwondo, she has represented India in national and international tournaments. She also represented the country in speed skating from 2012 to 2018 and continues to excel in track and field. Off the field, her creativity takes flight through aerial dance, cultural performances, and art therapy projects. She is also a certified PADI open-water scuba diver, embracing challenges above and below the surface.
Her commitment to service extends beyond digital spaces. Fia has taught Math and English to underprivileged children, helped install sustainable stoves in rural India through the Smokeless Stove Initiative, and collected over 100 pairs of shoes for her Barefoot Project. Her campaigns against female foeticide and the sexualization of women in media reflect her deep commitment to social justice and equality.
A 4th Dan Black Belt in Taekwondo, Fia has represented India on international platforms with remarkable consistency. She competed in Korea (2016), Thailand (2018), and again in 2023, bringing home multiple accolades and embodying discipline, resilience, and leadership through sport. These experiences, she says, taught her “the importance of balance — between strength and empathy, focus and compassion,” qualities that now define both her activism and her innovation through CyBud.
As Fia prepares to pursue psychology and technology at university, her goal is clear — to design interventions that merge science, empathy, and innovation. Through CyBud, she envisions a world where artificial intelligence becomes an ally in emotional healing.
In a time when online threats are becoming alarmingly real, Fia Inamdar’s journey is a reminder that courage and compassion can rewrite the code of the internet — making it safer, kinder, and deeply human once again.

Read MoreActress Sonia Sharma Shines As Adhura Khuaab Movie Gets International Recognition!
Transitions have never been easy. They aren’t meant to be. It’s not impossible either.
From being news channel anchor to acting in tv serials (Vignaharta Ganesha, Veer Shivaji in a lead, Kabhi Kabhi Ittefaq Sey, latest being Tenalirama) to doing music video albums to acting in movies (recent being in a lead role), the vivacious and supremely talented Sonia Sharma seems to have traversed a full circle!
Now comes the heartwarming news of her newest movie, Adhura Khuaab (where she’s the lead heroine and protagonist with Ali Merchant, former tv star) produced by Faizuddin Siddique (brother of Bollywood’s master actor Nawazuddin Siddique) and Sabba Siddique and directed by former supermodel and actor Shadab Khan, hitting international movie headlines. Not only has the masterpiece movie been nominated and honoured in various prestigious international film festivals in various categories, the biggest news that has catapulted Sonia to the proverbial cloud nine is that she has been nominated not once but two times as Best Actress (from India) by two separate reputed film festivals in Canada namely ALTFF Film Festival, and Couch Film Festival,Toronto along with high caliber actresses like Monica Keena – How To Survive Hollywood (Netherlands) and
Marie France Louis – Howl Of The Blue Moon (USA).
“It has been an amazing journey! Well, I have been in acting field for quite some time. But there was always one role I was craving, until Adhura Khuaab (Incomplete Dream) happened to me,” says an excited Sonia whose recent movie Riwaj with actor Aftab Shivdasani released on Zee5 had received mixed reviews. Sonia also had played a cameo role in Akshay Kumar starrer hit movie OMG.
Sonia adds, “When Faiz sir narrated the script to me, I was instantly drawn to it. I knew I could not miss the chance to play Rubi — a small-town Muslim girl deeply in love with her husband but unable to conceive, facing the suffocating pressure of the people around her. It was a heart-wrenching story that touched me deeply.”
Later, when Faiz brought in Shadab, himself an award-winning director, he too connected strongly with the story. “Together, we poured our hearts and souls into it, and I am so proud of the result. Not a single frame of the film feels fake — and it’s not just me saying it, the kind of response it is receiving at festivals and from audiences around the world speaks for itself,” tells Sonia even as Shadab, Faiz and Saba are all praise for Sonia’s unforgettable acting in the movie.
“I am truly grateful to Faiz sir for trusting me with Rubi, and to Shadab sir for guiding me in bringing this complex role to life so effortlessly,” says the beautiful Sonia with gratitude.
Visibly overjoyed for her nomination as Best Actress at the prestigious Canada film festivals, Sonia terms the movie Adhura Khuaab movie as “a film that, in many ways, seems to have fulfilled my own khuaab.”
Great going Sonia! Keep scaling bigger and brighter heights in Bollywood landscape..!!

Read Moreविश्व हिंदू सेवा संघ के राष्ट्रीय अध्यक्ष एडवोकेट रविंद्र के द्विवेदी का देशवासियों से भावुक अपील “देश संकट में है, अब मौन रहने का समय नहीं”
नई दिल्ली, 24 सितंबर 2025 — नवरात्रि के पावन पर्व पर जहां देशभर में श्रद्धा और भक्ति का वातावरण है, वहीं विश्व हिंदू सेवा संघ के राष्ट्रीय अध्यक्ष एडवोकेट रविंद्र के द्विवेदी ने एक गंभीर और भावुक बयान जारी करते हुए देशवासियों, विशेषकर सनातन धर्म के अनुयायियों से एकजुट होने की अपील की है।
उन्होंने कहा:
“मैं आज बड़े ही दुख और भारी मन से यह कहना चाहता हूं कि देश एक संकटपूर्ण दौर से गुजर रहा है। कुछ राजनीतिक शक्तियाँ सत्ता की लालसा में देश को अस्थिर करने के प्रयास कर रही हैं। ‘आई लव मोहम्मद’ के नाम पर मुस्लिम युवाओं का संगठित होकर सड़कों पर उतरना एक सोची-समझी रणनीति का हिस्सा प्रतीत होता है। जबकि ऐसी कोई घटना ही नहीं हुई है जिसमें हजरत मोहम्मद का अपमान किया गया हो।”
एडवोकेट द्विवेदी ने इस बात पर चिंता जताई कि एक ओर जहाँ देश में सामाजिक सौहार्द को तोड़ने की साजिशें चल रही हैं, वहीं सनातन धर्म के आचार्य, साधु-संत और शंकराचार्य आपसी मतभेदों में उलझे हैं। उन्होंने कहा कि यह समय आरोप-प्रत्यारोप का नहीं, बल्कि एकजुट होकर सनातन संस्कृति और भारत माता की रक्षा करने का है।
“हमें इस समय किसी को छोटा-बड़ा, ज्ञानी-मूर्ख दिखाने की लड़ाई नहीं लड़नी चाहिए। यह समय देश को बचाने का है।”
उन्होंने देश के साधु-संतों, धर्माचार्यों और सभी हिंदू संगठनों से एक मंच पर आने की अपील की, ताकि राष्ट्र के सभी वर्गों को जोड़कर एकता का सशक्त संदेश दिया जा सके।
राजनीतिक तुष्टिकरण पर कड़ा प्रहार
एडवोकेट द्विवेदी ने कहा कि अधिकतर राजनेता आज मुस्लिम तुष्टिकरण की राजनीति कर रहे हैं, जिससे देश की कानून व्यवस्था और सामाजिक संतुलन दोनों खतरे में हैं।
“देश की न्याय व्यवस्था या तो जातिवादी मानसिकता से ग्रस्त है, या भ्रष्टाचार में लिप्त है। ऐसे समय में हमें बहुत सोच-समझकर किसी भी नेता का समर्थन करना चाहिए — ना जातिवादी, ना भाषावादी, केवल राष्ट्रवादी।”
जनसंख्या नियंत्रण कानून की मांग
उन्होंने केंद्र सरकार से कड़ा जनसंख्या नियंत्रण कानून लाने की मांग करते हुए चेतावनी दी कि यदि समय रहते कठोर कदम नहीं उठाए गए, तो यह देश, इसका संविधान और सनातन संस्कृति तीनों संकट में पड़ सकते हैं।
निष्कर्ष में उनकी अपील:
“देश और सनातन धर्म की रक्षा के लिए अब हमें केवल सरकार के भरोसे नहीं रहना चाहिए। अब समय है जागने का, एक होने का, और राष्ट्र हित में कार्य करने का।”

The Sarangi, one of the most expressive instruments of Indian classical music, has been nurtured and protected for centuries by a handful of legendary families. Among them, the Moradabad Gharana shines as a custodian of this instrument’s soul, giving the world some of its finest exponents.
From Sarangi Samrat Ustad Sabri Khansahb revered as one of the greatest sarangi legends of the 20th century, to his son Ustad Kamal Sabri, (aka Sarangi Sultan of todays generation) celebrated worldwide for his artistry and innovations, the gharana’s legacy has remained unbroken.
Today, this proud lineage finds new life in the hands of Abdul Ahad Sabri and Asad Sabri—the grandsons of Ustad Sabri Khan and sons of Ustad Kamal Sabri—both of whom have chosen to dedicate themselves to the sarangi
Born into a Legacy
For Abdul Ahad and Asad, music is not merely a profession but a way of life. Surrounded by the sound of sarangi since childhood, they naturally gravitated toward the instrument. Their earliest lessons came from observing their father, Ustad Kamal Sabri, during his practice and performances. Soon, formal training followed under his strict but nurturing guidance, shaping their ears, fingers, and hearts to the demanding yet rewarding path of the sarangi.
To be part of the eighth generation of the Moradabad Gharana is both an honor and a challenge. The boys grew up with the understanding that they were heirs to not only a family tradition but also a national treasure. The sarangi requires extraordinary discipline and patience; its technique is among the most complex in Indian classical music. Yet, both brothers embraced this challenge wholeheartedly, determined to carry the legacy forward.
Abdul Ahad Sabri – Carrying Grace and Depth
The elder son, Abdul Ahad, has developed a style marked by grace, depth, and lyrical sweetness reminiscent of his grandfather, Ustad Sabri Khan. His playing reflects a remarkable maturity, with the ability to bring out the subtle microtones and emotional nuances that define the sarangi. Audiences have been deeply moved by his ability to make the instrument “sing” with soulful precision.
Beyond solo performances, Abdul Ahad also accompanies vocalists, where his sensitive playing enhances the raga’s mood without overshadowing the main artist. Like his father, he is also open to cross-cultural collaborations, keen to introduce the sarangi to audiences outside the traditional classical circuit.
Asad Sabri – Energy and Experimentation
The younger son, Asad, has carved his own artistic identity while staying true to the gharana’s discipline. His style is marked by energy, confident improvisations, and rhythmic playfulness.
He often experiments with new ways of presenting the sarangi, exploring dialogues between classical tradition and contemporary sounds.
Asad enjoys connecting with younger audiences, demonstrating that the sarangi is not only a historical instrument but also a living voice relevant today. His performances reveal both technical brilliance and a desire to keep the art form dynamic and evolving.
United by the Sarangi
Though each has a distinct style, what unites Abdul Ahad and Asad is their shared passion for the sarangi and their deep respect for their family’s legacy. Together, they represent the future of the instrument. Watching them perform side by side is to witness tradition and renewal at once—the lyrical sweetness of Abdul Ahad complementing the vibrant energy of Asad.
Their joint appearances showcase the strength of a gharana that has never allowed the sarangi to fade into obscurity. Instead, through every generation, it has adapted, expanded, and reasserted its place at the heart of Indian classical music.
Looking Ahead
As the eighth generation of the Moradabad Gharana, Abdul Ahad and Asad Sabri face the responsibility of continuing what their grandfather and father devoted their lives to. They understand that their journey is not only about personal success but also about ensuring the sarangi’s voice reaches new audiences across India and the world.
Through rigorous riyaaz (daily practice), dedication to classical tradition, and openness to innovation, both brothers are preparing to carry the sarangi into the future. Their efforts ensure that this instrument—once feared to be in decline—will continue to resonate with the same intensity and beauty that has captivated listeners for centuries.
Conclusion
Abdul Ahad and Asad Sabri are more than just young musicians; they are the custodians of a living tradition. Grandsons of the legendary Ustad Sabri Khan and sons of the internationally renowned Ustad Kamal Sabri, they are committed to keeping the sarangi alive with dignity, depth, and innovation. Together, they symbolize the continuity of a priceless heritage and the promise of a bright future for the sarangi on global stages.

Read MoreGovinda’s Heroine Anupma Agnihotri Ready For Her Next Big Movie!
It’s said there’s a lull before the storm! If the pretty and hugely talented Anupma Agnihotri is quiet for some time after making her dream Bollywood debut as the leading lady opposite Govinda in noted Producer Pahlaj Nihalani’s movie Rangeela Raja (Incidentally, Nihalani had given Govinda his first break in the movie Ilzam after which Govinda never looked back!), Anupma is actually working on her plans for the next big movie. “Wait for the announcement,” Anupma quips with her infectious smile. In-between she’s also doing modelling shoots, brand promotions et al.
So, how has been Anupma’s career journey so far?
“Well, my career journey so far has been an exciting mix of growth, challenges, and memorable experiences. I started out in modeling, where I worked on various fashion shows and commercial shoots. It helped me build confidence in front of the camera and understand how to express different moods and styles.
From there, I transitioned into acting, which opened up a whole new creative world for me. I’ve taken on roles in films, commercials, and a few stage performances, each of which pushed me to explore new emotions and connect with audiences in deeper ways.
Overall, my journey so far has been incredibly rewarding, and I’m excited for the new opportunities and challenges ahead,” told Anupma with positivity.
So, did Anupma ever expect to make a name in the ever competitive Bollywood?
“No, I never even dreamed that I would come to Mumbai in the first place or work in the film industry,” said Anupma.
What about Anupma’s early days? Was she interested in acting from her childhood?
“That’s a really interesting way to ask (she smiles)! But to clarify honestly:
Yes, I never had anything like this since childhood. When I came to Mumbai, I did modelling and then I got interested in acting,” Anupma said adding, “Writing about childhood memories allows me to relive those moments and appreciate how they’ve influenced my life.”
How did Anupma come to Mumbai?
“I came to Mumbai to visit a friend of mine. I really liked Mumbai and it’s safe for girls as compared to the other cities,” said Anupma gratefully.
Rangeela Raja may have come as a big shocker for Anupma and that too in a lead role opposite a top-ranking actor like Govinda. Incidentally, the producer of Rangeela Raja Pahlaj Nihalani was the person who had given Govinda his first Bollywood break in Ilzam. How did you Anupma get the role.
And what’s Anupma’s strategy to overcome the competion as there are lots of newcomers trying their luck in the film industry?
“Well, well..Since I don’t personally compete, I don’t have a strategy for myself ” Anupma said quickly adding, “Just focus on continuous learning. To stand out, I believe in constantly improving my craft — whether it’s acting workshops, dance classes, voice training or learning new skills that can add depth to my performances.”
Anupma elaborates practically, “Build strong networking and genuine connections
The film industry runs on relationships.
Stay consistent and patient. Many newcomers give up too early which is not right, said the strong-willed Anupma with great conviction as she went on to add, “Rejection is part of the journey. Each ‘No’ helps me grow and refine my skills.”
Let’s find out Anupma’s idol in Bollywood and why.
“My idol in Bollywood is Shah Rukh Khan. I admire him not just for his incredible acting range and iconic performances, but also for his journey — coming from a middle-class background with no film connections and becoming a global star through sheer hard work, charisma, and intelligence. His ability to reinvent himself and stay relevant over decades is truly inspiring.”
Or, if you prefer a different example:
“I look up to Deepika Padukone because she’s shown remarkable versatility, from intense roles like in Chhapaak to commercial blockbusters.”
What are Anupma’s hobbies? How does she relax herself?
“In my free time, I love reading books and exploring different characters and stories — it helps me grow as an actor. I also enjoy watching old movies and doing yoga, which keeps me fit and helps me relax mentally. Spending time with close friends or going for long walks by the sea always recharges me,” Anupma concluded with a note of positivity and optimism.
Way to go, Anupma..!!

Read Moreगोविंदा की हीरोइन अनुपमा अग्निहोत्री अपनी अगली बड़ी फिल्म के लिए हैं तैयार!
मुम्बई. कहते हैं तूफ़ान से पहले एक खामोशी होती है. खूबसूरत और बेहद प्रतिभाशाली अनुपमा अग्निहोत्री जाने-माने निर्माता पहलाज निहलानी की फिल्म रंगीला राजा में गोविंदा के साथ अपनी ड्रीम बॉलीवुड शुरुआत की थी उस के बाद वह कुछ समय के लिए शांत हैं, तो अनुपमा असल में अगली बड़ी फिल्म की योजना पर काम कर रही हैं। बता दें कि संयोग से पहलाज निहलानी ने गोविंदा को फिल्म इल्ज़ाम में पहला ब्रेक दिया था जिसके बाद गोविंदा ने कभी पीछे मुड़कर नहीं देखा.
अनुपमा हँसते-हँसते कहती हैं, “ऑफिशियल एनाउंसमेंट का इंतज़ार करें।” इस बीच, वह मॉडलिंग शूट और ब्रांड प्रमोशन भी कर रही हैं।
अनुपमा का अब तक का करियर कैसा रहा है? वह कहती है “अब तक मेरा करियर विकास, चुनौतियों और यादगार अनुभवों का एक रोमांचक मिश्रण रहा है। मैंने मॉडलिंग से शुरुआत की, जहाँ मैंने कई फ़ैशन शो और विज्ञापनों की शूटिंग में काम किया। इससे मुझे कैमरे के सामने आत्मविश्वास बढ़ाने और अलग-अलग मूड और स्टाइल को व्यक्त करने का तरीका समझने में मदद मिली।
वहाँ से, मैंने अभिनय की ओर रुख किया, जिसने मेरे लिए एक बिल्कुल नई रचनात्मक दुनिया खोल दी। मैंने फिल्मों, विज्ञापनों और कुछ स्टेज परफॉर्मेंस में काम किया, जिससे मुझे दर्शकों से गहराई से जुड़ने के लिए प्रेरित किया। कुल मिलाकर, अब तक मेरा सफर अविश्वसनीय रूप से अच्छा रहा है, और मैं आगे आने वाले नए अवसरों और चुनौतियों के लिए उत्साहित हूँ।
क्या अनुपमा ने कभी मुंबई में नाम कमाने की उम्मीद की थी? वह कहती हैं “नहीं, मैंने कभी सपने में भी नहीं सोचा था कि मैं मुंबई आऊँगी या फिल्म इंडस्ट्री में काम करूँगी. बचपन से मुझे फ़िल्मों मे अभिनय का शौक नहीं था। जब मैं मुंबई आई, तो मैंने मॉडलिंग की और फिर मुझे अभिनय में रुचि हो गई. मैं अपनी एक दोस्त से मिलने मुंबई आई थी। मुझे मुंबई बहुत पसंद आया और यह दूसरे शहरों की तुलना में लड़कियों के लिए सुरक्षित है।”
रंगीला राजा अनुपमा के लिए एक बड़ा ब्रेक साबित हुआ और वह भी गोविंदा जैसे शीर्ष अभिनेता के साथ मुख्य भूमिका में। संयोग से, रंगीला राजा के निर्माता पहलाज निहलानी ही वह व्यक्ति थे जिन्होंने गोविंदा को इल्ज़ाम में बॉलीवुड में पहला ब्रेक दिया था। अनुपमा को यह भूमिका कैसे मिली? और फिल्म उद्योग में कई नए कलाकार अपनी किस्मत आजमा रहे हैं, ऐसे में मुकाबले से पार पाने के लिए अनुपमा की क्या रणनीति है?
वह कहती है “व्यक्तिगत रूप से मुकाबला करने के लिए, मेरे पास अपने लिए कोई रणनीति नहीं है। बस लगातार सीखने पर ध्यान केंद्रित करें। अलग दिखने के लिए, मैं अपने हुनर को लगातार निखारने में विश्वास रखती हूँ—चाहे वह एक्टिंग वर्कशॉप हो, डांस क्लासेस हो, आवाज़ की ट्रेनिंग हो या नए हुनर सीखना हो जो मेरे अभिनय में गहराई ला सकें।”
अनुपमा आगे बताती हैं, “मज़बूत नेटवर्किंग और सच्चे संबंध बनाएँ।
फिल्म इंडस्ट्री रिश्तों पर चलती है। निरंतर और धैर्यवान रहें। कई नए लोग बहुत जल्दी हार मान लेते हैं जो सही नहीं है. अस्वीकृति इस सफ़र का हिस्सा है। हर ‘ना’ मुझे आगे बढ़ने और अपने हुनर को निखारने में मदद करती है.
आइए जानें कि बॉलीवुड में अनुपमा के आदर्श कौन हैं और क्यों?
“बॉलीवुड में मेरे आदर्श शाहरुख खान हैं। मैं न केवल उनके शानदार अभिनय के लिए, बल्कि उनके सफ़र के लिए भी उनकी प्रशंसा करती हूँ—बिना किसी फिल्मी कनेक्शन के एक मध्यमवर्गीय पृष्ठभूमि से आने और कड़ी मेहनत, करिश्मा और बुद्धिमत्ता से एक ग्लोबल स्टार बनने के उनके सफ़र के लिए भी। खुद को फिर से गढ़ने और दशकों तक प्रासंगिक बने रहने की उनकी क्षमता वाकई प्रेरणादायक है।”
“मैं दीपिका पादुकोण को इसलिए अपना आदर्श मानती हूँ क्योंकि उन्होंने छपाक जैसी गंभीर भूमिकाओं से लेकर व्यावसायिक ब्लॉकबस्टर फिल्मों तक, अद्भुत बहुमुखी प्रतिभा दिखाई है।”
अनुपमा के शौक क्या हैं? “अपने खाली समय में, मुझे किताबें पढ़ना और अलग-अलग किरदारों और कहानियों को तलाशना बहुत पसंद है—इससे मुझे एक कलाकार के रूप में निखरने में मदद मिलती है। मुझे पुरानी फ़िल्में देखना और योग करना भी पसंद है, जिससे मैं फिट रहती हूँ और मानसिक रूप से आराम महसूस करती हूँ। करीबी दोस्तों के साथ समय बिताना या समुद्र के किनारे लंबी सैर पर जाना मुझे हमेशा तरोताज़ा कर देता है.”
