Isn’t it wonderful when celebrities use their clout to give a platform to talented musicians who still haven’t gotten their big break? We hope just like Rakesh, these two talented individuals also make their mark in the media and the music industry!

Also, Shankar’s knack for finding talent in the unlikeliest of places deserves a roaring applause. We hope he continues to discover these gems and share them with the rest of the world.
