Artistic director and choreographer Sumit Khetan, who holds a Guinness World Record for choreographing 551 varmalas in just 60 seconds, along with choreographing many events for the Government of India, and even for the TV screens with shows like Bigg Boss and The Kapil Sharma Show, choreographed the Independence Day event—for the Indian Navy, Army, and Air Force. Titled Har Kaam Desh Ke Naam, this IP is designed by music maestro Ameya Dabli and the EkamSatt Foundation. The event was held at the Mulla Auditorium in Mumbai on August 17.
Sumit said, “Ameya Ji performed the songs live, while we directed and enhanced the performance by choreographing the acts with our dancers, props, costumes, and more.” For him, it was an honor to celebrate the spirit of freedom and patriotism. He said, “I love to support such causes. I have choreographed multiple patriotic songs and have shot videos in the past as well. I have a deep sense of patriotism, and whenever it involves the Tricolor, it is an honor to contribute.”
The event saw over 1200 members of the military forces and their families attended the gathering. Sumit Khetan Entertainment’s visually stunning choreography and a 25-piece orchestra supported the musical genius of Ameya Dabli as he took to the stage. The event was supported by the Shrimati Taradevi Foundation charity. Ekam Satt Foundation aims to reach out to over 100 million individuals across India and the global Indian diaspora, promoting patriotism and mental wellness through music and outreach programs over the next 24 months.
Over the past nine years, EkamSatt Foundation has held over 161 music therapy concerts and mental wellness workshops across 65+ cantonments, benefiting 25 lakh soldiers and their families. The foundation’s ‘Mission for Nation’ initiative focuses on the mental health of armed forces personnel, offering a unique 90-120 minute musical experience designed to relieve stress and rejuvenate soldiers, incorporating India’s diverse cultural heritage.
