New Delhi: Dreams and
aspirations know no age, they don’t recognize limitations or even one’s
background – they only thrive on pure talent. With the theme of #UthaoSochKiDeewar,
COLORS’ Live singing reality show Rising Star 2 has revolutionized viewer
engagement, taking them on a musical journey that maps the stories of struggle
and shatters prejudiced thought processes. Produced by Optimystix
Entertainment, the show is judged by the uber-talented experts Diljit
Dosanjh, Monali Thakur and Shankar Mahadevan. Hosted by the
charming Ravi Dubey and the small wonder Master
Parth – Rising Star 2 is the No 1 Non-Fiction Show in
the urban markets and airs every Saturday and Sunday at 9.00
PM only on COLORS.
Ravi Dubey along with contestant
Akhtar Brothers (Shehnaz and Sahil) who have performed well thus far
in the competition, are in Delhi today, hoping to interact with the fans of the
show and to thank them for their unconditional love and support.
Speaking about his visit to Delhi,
host Ravi Dubey said, “I have always received a warm
welcome in this city and I am very happy to be visiting today, given that
Rising Star 2 has been accepted so well. Having grown up in Gurgaon,
Delhi has always been like my own city and visiting this city always makes me
nostalgic. My fondest memories come from the yum street food, it’s something
that you don’t get anywhere else in India. Before we leave, I would want
to take Akhtar Brothers for some delicious parathes at Parathe wali galli and
the delicious chaats because it one of the most outstanding ways to enjoy Delhi
food.”
Commenting on the show, Ravi says, “I
always wanted to host a LIVE show and I feel privileged to be part of ‘Rising
Star’, which, besides taking the viewers on a musical ride, gives out a strong
message of breaking barriers. It urges everyone to have the courage to overcome
all obstacles and do what they love. Viewers are showering us with their
support and we cannot thank them enough for it. ”
Among the contestants visiting the
city, Akhtar Brothers - Shehnaz and Sahil Akhtar - hail from
Ludhiana. As music runs in their blood, this duo has arrived with the sole
aim of making a name for themselves in the music industry. Akhtar brothers have
been receiving a lot of love and support from not just the experts on the show
but also audiences who have been saving them week on week. In one of the
episodes, Diljit was so impressed with their singing that he went on the stage
to sing a Punjabi song ‘Panch Tara’ from his own music album with them.
Rising Star 2 is a path breaking
concept where the focus lies entirely on the contestant’s talent. With no
barriers to age or background, the show is open to all for participation - be
it Solo, Duet or Group/ Band performance. It is their voice and their ability
to entertain and engage audiences LIVE which will get them the much coveted
national glory.
