Program Details

Sukhwinder will be performing live with an ensemble of leading Bollywood musicians and is all set to set the stage at the DAR Constitution Hall on fire come June 5, 2010. Bollywood diva Tanushree Dutta will also perform in the show.

Local Impresario, Puneet Ahluwalia who is promoting Singh's show in Washington DC is all excited over the initial response of the
Indian Diaspora living in the Washington DC metropolitan area.

"Sukhwinder Singh is bigger than the limits that are put on him. It all has to do with the individual journey of this great international singer and music director," stated Puneet Ahluwalia.

Ahluwalia is simultaneously promoting a new reality talent show "Your Minutes of Fame" For the first time ever, talented individuals of the South Asian Diaspora are being provided a platform through this ground-breaking new reality phenomenon - "Your Minutes of Fame," informed Ahluwalia.

Many different talents can be exhibited in the series, such as contortionism, juggling, magic tricks, stand-up comedy & beat boxing, aside from singing and dancing acts. The winner will be given the unique opportunity to perform at the Sukhwinder Singh Concert.

Sukhwinder shot to fame with "Chaiyya Chaiyya" for which he won the Filmfare award for the best playback singer in 1999. This song was also featured in the musical Bombay Dreams. This song was so inspiring that noted Hollywood director sent a message of multiculturalism by using the same song for the title credit of his blockbuster film - Inside Man.

Sukhwinder was unstoppable and acquired more international fame for the award winning song 'Jai Ho' from the award winning movie Slumdog Millionaire.

Sukhwinder's other notable hits are:- Chak De India... Dard-e-Disco, Jhoom Barabar Jhoom, Beedi, Jalwa, Aaj Mera Jee Kardaa, Ramta Jogi, Dhan Te Nan and many, many more.  So popular is Sukhwinder that sponsors are clamoring to be a part of this historic concert.
