Kupwara, Nov 11 (NVI): Bollywood singer Kumar Sanu, actor-producer Harman Baweja and music composer Dilip Sen were among the prominent personalities who attended the grand finale of ‘Kashmir Got Talent’ in north Kashmir’s Kupwara district, where over 3,000 people gathered to witness performances by emerging artists.
The four-day event, held from November 8 to 11 at Government Degree College, Kupwara, was organised jointly by TAHA Film International, the District Administration Kupwara and Jammu and Kashmir Police to provide a platform to aspiring artists from across North Kashmir.
The competition witnessed an overwhelming response, with more than 700 registrations from different parts of the region. Following auditions held on November 8 and 9 and semi-final rounds on November 10, the top 10 contestants qualified for the grand finale.
Kumar Sanu, Harman Baweja and Dilip Sen were part of the judging panel, giving the participants an opportunity to showcase their talent before established personalities from the entertainment industry.
The grand finale featured a series of performances by the finalists, while Kumar Sanu’s musical presentation emerged as one of the major attractions of the event. Performances by Ishfaq Kawa and comedians Qayoom Badshah and Nazir Josh also entertained the audience.
The release of the song ‘PAMAAL’ was another highlight of the programme.
The initiative was aimed at identifying and promoting grassroots talent, encouraging youth participation and providing aspiring performers from remote areas of North Kashmir with opportunities to showcase their abilities on a wider platform.
The organisers said the event reflected the creative potential of the region’s youth and highlighted the importance of providing opportunities to talented individuals from far-flung areas.
The successful conclusion of the programme was made possible through the coordination of the District Administration Kupwara, Jammu and Kashmir Police, TAHA Film International and other stakeholders.—(NVI)
