- JEDDAH: A charity event was held here with Indian and Pakistani artists helping to raise funds for the sick and needy.
- The event dubbed “Summer Bonanza” was successful as it collected a goodly sum that would go toward the treatment of some needy people.
The charity had two lead performers, with up and coming Indian playback singer Saheb Khan and Pakistan comedian Javed Shaikh stealing the show. The event was organized on the initiatives of Altaf Khan, Javed Shaikh and Shehzad Khan.
Chief guest Shafkat Chaudhry lauded the efforts of the organizers and called for more such charity work, especially with Ramadan starting soon.
Saudi actors Hani Nazer, and Kamaliya, Saudi actor, producer and director Naji Tantawi, poet Shaikh Fuad Yanbawi, Al-Tamayyuz's Ayessha Fallata, Saudi poet Naji Batesh and top Saudi singer Hasan Iskandarani were the main guests.
Shaikh entertained the guests with his unique set comedy pieces, but it was Bollywood's live performer Saheb who stole the thunder with a fine performance, rendering songs in five different languages.
Iskandarani, after the show, recorded an Arabic song with Saheb and hoped the latter would be a part of "The Saudi Fair."
Saheb received accolades after this charity event.
He was featured in the popular channel "Rotana" for his capacity to sing in different languages, and then feted at The Mall of Arabia by the Saudi Aramco Company, at Al-Harithy Exhibition Center by Electronic Media Company "Al-Tamayyuz" and by the SSP Group. He also performed at the Ramada Inn Festival in the Taif Festival.
Saheb, however, is hopeful that in his singing journey he would get to meet the famous Saudi Singer Mohammed Abdu.
