On this occasion, the office bearers of Chamber of Commerce & Industry honoured Mukesh Rishi and conveyed feeling proud of him for his outstanding achievements in the Bollywood.
Mukesh enlightened the assemblage about the growing significance of art across India and the ever increasing demand for Indian artists abroad. He highlighted the importance of having oneself groomed and trained to cater to an international audience.
Renowned musician from the State, Anmol Amla, sought advice on how Jammuites may up their game in a national arena because they lack the requisite infrastructure and exposure. Mukesh stressed that localites need to retain their folk streak while also working on enhancing their acumen and exploring other cultures.
Internationally acclaimed writer Geetika Kohli Amla, concluded his thoughts by adding that what is imperative at the moment in Jammu and Kashmir is cultivating taste in the minds of local artists, be it musicians, writers or actors. Once acquainted with a broad range of cultures, Jammu artists will be equipped to work not just nationally but also across the globe.
