The performances can also be viewed later on IIFA’s official Instagram handle.
Coinciding with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s initiative #JantaCurfew, the incredibly talented Indian singers, Harshdeep Kaur, Sukhbir Singh and Arjun Kanungo kickstarted the concert series #IIFAHumSabSaathHain making use of the online platform to both educate and entertain their fans. Providing a much-needed reprise from the fatigue and isolation of staying home on the weekend and serenading their viewers with popular chart-topping music.
The Concert series began with "Sufi Ki Sultana" Harshdeep Kaur’s melodious performance of the prayer ‘Ek Onkar’ as she urged everyone to stay safe and indoors. The "Prince of Bhangra", Sukhbir Singh’s energetic power-packed performance of his popular tracks, such as ‘Oh Ho’, ‘Sauda Khara Khara’ and ‘Punjabi Munde’ entertained the audience. Multi-talented singer and musician Arjun Kanungo offered a beautiful rendition of ‘Tu hi re’ and played acoustics to tracks like ‘Aaya na tu’, ‘Fursat’ and covered Atif Aslam’s ‘Woh Lamhein’. He ended his set with ‘Applause for a cause’ urging everyone to show gratitude for the unsung heroes of the community at 5 pm, #JantaCurfewMarch22. Today, the digital concert series will feature a voice to reckon with, Shilpa Rao at 5 pm.
