Kumar Sanu offers to collaborate with Kashmiri singers
Kupwara, Nov 11: Legendary Bollywood singer Kumar Sanu has expressed his willingness to collaborate with Kashmiri singers and record songs with local talent, while urging the government to establish dedicated music and art academies to provide young artists with opportunities to develop their skills. Sanu was speaking on the sidelines of the 'Kashmir Got Talent' event organised in North Kashmir's Kupwara, where he also delivered a live performance, drawing appreciation from the audience. Expressing happiness over his visit, the celebrated singer said Kashmir was full of incredible talent and that he would be interested in working with local singers. He also mentioned Qazi Touqeer, Bigg Boss contestant, while speaking about the Valley's artistic potential. Appreciating the organisers, particularly Suhail Saeed Lone, Sanu said providing a platform to local artists was an encouraging initiative. He stressed that such talent-hunt programmes should be organised regularly every year so that more youngsters get an opportunity to showcase their abilities. He also called for taking these initiatives beyond major towns and into remote areas, pointing out that many talented young people live in far-flung places but often cannot travel elsewhere to participate in such events. Sanu urged the government and the local District Magistrate to establish dedicated music and art academies in the valley. He said institutional support would help young people pursue their interests and develop their abilities in music and other creative fields. Reflecting on his visit, the singer said he had been unable to come to Kashmir for decades because of the prevailing circumstances in the past. He said a positive atmosphere was now developing and appreciated the younger generation for channelising their energy towards art rather than wasting their time. He also thanked the Army and others for encouraging his visit and supporting the initiative. Addressing fellow celebrities, Sanu urged them to visit Kashmir personally rather than forming opinions based on misconceptions. He asked them to experience the Valley, interact with its people and extend support to local youth. Describing Kashmir as Heaven on Earth, the singer said its natural beauty should be protected and preserved.
