Ahlan Bollywood Musical Show On December 2 Wowed UAE Residents
Audiences blown away by performances given by Salman Khan, Priyanka Chopra, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan and Omar Sharief
The amazing Ahlan Bollywood concert featuring famous Bollywood stars such as Salman Khan and Priyanka Chopra, ace singer Rahat Fateh Ali Khan and veteran comedian Omar Sharief blew away Dubai residents on Sunday night. The event was organised by Creative Hub Events and though the concert’s amazing visuals and stage designs by Sohail Khan Entertainment were absolutely stunning, it was in fact all about Salman and Rahat’s music! Sophie Chowdhary and Zareen Khan also wowed the audience with their performances.
Talking at a press conference earlier, Raj Sahni, Chairman of Creative Hub Events, said: “As the UAE National Day is one of the biggest event in the country’s calendar, we thought of bringing this remarkable ensemble to enthrall the audience in Dubai. The event is our attempt to salute a nation that has rich history, culture and achievements and is being organised under the theme of ’Spirit of the Union’ that binds the cosmopolitan community of the UAE, while connecting it under one banner.”
Raj Sahni added the Ahlan Bollywood event will not only enthrall the large Asian community that resides in the country but Arabs as well who love Bollywood stars. He maintained: “The event has provided us an opportunity to show the bond we enjoy with our local friends and residents and through this spectacular event wish to create a lasting memory in their hearts and minds.”
Meanwhile, people had lined up since 6pm outside the concert venue to get a glance of their favourite stars especially Salman Khan and could not wait to see him. Two young boys and girls, invited on stage by Salman for a little quiz, were thrilled to be standing next to one of the biggest icons of Indian cinema. Performances given by Priyanka Chopra, Zareen Khan and Sophie Chowdhry also mesmerized the attendees and therefore were worth the wait. On the other hand, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan’s voice enchanted young and old alike and got everyone up dancing. They kept on asking him to stay a little longer and belt out some of his classic hits. Another highlight of the show was the witty complaints and hilarious put-downs by veteran comedian Omar Sharief who had audiences in splits. A short fashion show by luxury brand New Yorker gave Dubaiites an insight into fashion trends this winter. The glamorous show ended on a great note when the last of revelers made a move towards home to catch some sleep and get fresh for work the next day!
