Top Indian fashion designers will feature their work on Friday, 2 December. The likes of Vikram Phadnis, Joy Mitra, Krishna Mehtra and Pawan & Pranav will showcase their latest collections, paired with incredible local musicians, dancers and comedians in the Blu Blood Bollywood Variety Show.
Comedic relief
Comedy lovers can look forward to a local line-up on Saturday, 3 December, with the very best of South Africa’s Indian comedians as they take laughter and hilarity to the next level in Kings & Queens of Comedy And All’. The royal line-up includes the likes of Riaad Moosa, Yaaseen Barnes, Simmi Arreff and Leeanda Reddy.
Sonu Nigam and Atif Aslam
The event culminates on Sunday, 4 December with two of the biggest powerhouses in the Bollywood music industry – Sonu Nigam and Atif Aslam live in concert.
