Festive season is on the way, Toronto and the GTA prepared for summer activities like never before. The number of festivals, both indoor and outdoor grows every year to fit our vibrant and diverse city. Canada’s largest South Asian festival, #BollywoodMonster Mashup is pleased to bring the Canadian debut of Bollywood sensation Aakanksha Sharma, the stunning voice of Sunny Leone in "Main Adhoora," to the main stage at Mississauga Celebration Square July 22 as part of the festival’s free programming.
Nominated twice at the 2017 Mirchi Music Awards for Upcoming Female Vocalist of the Year for her songs "Tu Alvida" from the film Traffic and "Dhal Jaun Main" from the film Rustom, Aakanksha Sharma is bringing her international star power to Canada for the first time in an exclusive #BollywoodMonster debut. As a seasoned performer, the young singer is set to deliver an unforgettable show to a crowd of thousands at this year’s #BollywoodMonster Mashup after winning Chhote Ustaad - Do Deshon Ki Ek Awaaz and appearing as a finalist on Jo Jeeta Wohi Superstar on Star Plus, one of India’s most popular television channels.
Aakanksha Sharma shares the Mississauga Celebration Square stage with Jonita Gandhi. Jonita is the first of three surprise Bollywood stars the festival will be revealing. The award-winning singer of "The Breakup Song" has worked with the likes of A.R. Rahman of Slumdog Millionaire fame and recently won the 2017 Mirchi Music Award Best Female Playback Singer for the song "Gilehriyaan" from the film Dangal.
The final Bollywood star to visit us during Monster Mashup is a Zee Cine award-winning singer, Bollywood star Kamal Khan. With over 8 million views on YouTube, his hit song "Ishq Sufiyana" from the film The Dirty Picture has stood the test of time and continues to be a fan favourite. Kamal Khan’s hypnotic vocals paired with the song’s bright melody makes it the perfect single to enjoy the summer air and earned the singer a Zee Cine Award for Fresh New Singing Talent, in addition to Male Vocalist of the Year at the Mirchi Music Awards and Best Music Debut at the Global Indian Music Awards.
Following his award-winning singles, the Punjabi singer continues to release hit after hit. His latest songs, "Barsatan" and "Sach" have over 1 million views on the artist’s YouTube channel. Kamal Khan is bringing his irresistible hits to #BollywoodMonster Mashup as the festival’s Friday night closer in a can’t-miss performance!
