Anushka Sen has created history by performing live on stage at Times Square in New York City, becoming the first Indian artist to do so. The talented actor has also made her debut as a singer in the West, joining hands with AY Young, the United Nation's Young Leader for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Together, they performed on AY Young's Battery Tour, which aims to power 1,000 concerts using clean energy. Anushka along with AY Young performed the song “Graduation” from “Project 17”, a music album inspired by the United Nation's 17 Sustainable Development Goals. Composed by Grammy Award winner Ken Lewis, the song “Graduation” shows Anushka's strong support for education. The event in Times Square, New York was a part of Climate Week organised by the Climate Group. This special moment is a big step in Anushka's career and showcases her talent to the world.
During her performance at Times Square, Anushka looked confident in a beautiful outfit designed by a local designer from Jaipur, showing her support for Indian brands and sustainability. She wore a small bindi with her outfit which gave a cultural touch to her look. Performing with a live band, she represented India proudly on the international stage with great confidence in her voice. Held at one of the busiest places in the world, the event showcased commitment to global education, environmental protection and making the world a better place.
Recalling her experience, Anushka shared, “I am so grateful that I got the chance to be the first Indian to perform at Times Square. The fact that people from all over the world were watching us perform was an amazing experience. I am so grateful to AY Young for giving me this opportunity and Ken Lewis who came here just to support us, it makes me feel like I have a family in America. This musical journey is special because it is more than just entertainment; it is about the planet and helps people understand what we need to do for our Mother Earth in the years to come. Music has a magical way of bringing people together from different cultures and places across the world.”
She further shared, “The audience was so warm and supportive, so I didn’t feel like it was my first performance. There were so many Indian fans cheering for me and dancing to the song with me. I loved my outfit as it was a perfect mix of Indian and American style. The bindi was my favorite part. It’s a new beginning, and I’m excited to see what I get to explore and experience in this new musical journey.”
We couldn't have thought of a better place than Times Square for Anushka to give a live performance at such a young age. Apart from her performance, Anushka is also heading to Korea. Anushka is shooting for her first international project, a Kfilm “Asia” in Korea. The actress is playing a pivotal role in this action thriller which stars actors from different countries. As she is facing new opportunities, she is leaving behind each obstacle at a young age and making way for another.
