June 5, 2024 – The year started off with an exciting development coming in that Amitabh Bachchan had snapped up a mega deal with The House of Abhinandan Lodha (HoABL) to invest in 10,000 sq ft of land in Ayodhya, very close to the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Temple. A smart real-estate investor, Mr Bachchan realized the potential of the city and prior to the temple’s consecration ceremony, he invested a large sum of money to buy the plot in a 7-star land development – The Sarayu. He celebrated Ayodhya’s legacy and cultural richness by attending the inauguration of the grand Ram Mandir. But that’s not it! It seems that Ayodhya is now being taken to the global stage, and Amitabh Bachchan was a big part of this historic initiative by HoABL, that took over three major cities last night.

With a series of grand events at iconic locations in Dubai, New York, and Delhi NCR, people were presented the immense potential of Ayodhya – the symbol of national pride, inviting global participation in Ayodhya’s promising future. The events highlighted the importance of connecting the Indian diaspora with their heritage and cementing Ayodhya’s rise as the global spiritual capital, with Amitabh Bachchan being a face across these three grand events.

This global activation is in line with the Central and State Government’s plan to transform Ayodhya into a Global spiritual and cultural hub. These events included an immersive Augmented Reality display at the largest frame in the world, Dubai Frame, standing tall at 150 meters. Dubai Frame is one of Dubai’s most iconic structures and it signifies a bridge between the past and the present, so it was a fitting destination to honour Ayodhya’s tradition while heralding its future through an immersive augmented reality display that also showcased Amitabh Bachchan’s investment along with HoABL. In Times Square, New York City, a video display and on-ground activation brought Ayodhya’s heritage to the heart of NYC, connecting a global audience to the splendor of Ayodhya along with Mr Bachchan’s pictures and videos.

But the most significant and eye-catching display was the spectacular drone-show that illuminated the skies of Delhi NCR, celebrating Ayodhya’s historical and spiritual significance. It showcased progress innovation and tradition of the region, as well as brought alive iconic figures and places such as Lord Ram and his wonderful temple. Amitabh Bachchan’s face also lit up the night sky, much to the audience’s delight.

Speaking about his investment and how he looks forward to creating a home in a culturally-rich city like Ayodhya, Mr. Amitabh Bachchan mentioned, “I am looking forward to embark on this journey with The House of Abhinandan Lodha for The Sarayu in Ayodhya, a city that holds a special place in my heart. The timeless spirituality and cultural richness of Ayodhya have forged an emotional connection that transcends geographical boundaries. I am looking forward to building my home in the global spiritual capital.”

Talking about the global initiative, Mr. Abhinandan Lodha, Chairman of The House of Abhinandan Lodha, said, “It is our honor to be able to showcase the glory of Ayodhyaji on a world stage. By showcasing Ayodhyaji’s heritage and spiritual significance at global landmarks we are connecting the Indian diaspora with their roots. This global launch is another opportunity for the Indian Diaspora to buy as a lot of them missed the previous opportunity in January 2024 as the 1.6 million sq ft of plotted land offered was snapped up by customers within 48 hours. We invite Indians worldwide to invest in land at Ayodhya, creating a legacy that honors our past and builds a promising future. Our mission is to elevate Ayodhya to its rightful place as a global spiritual capital, and today, we have taken a significant step in that direction.”

This event was HoABL’s small contribution in the transformation and renaissance of Ayodhya. HoABL and Mr Bachchan are committed to creating a legacy, ensuring Ayodhya’s place as a global spiritual capital is celebrated and preserved.

COVID 19: Bollywood Stars Promoter Rajender Singh Continues To Provide Medical Aide to India

Aug 20, 2021 by Rekha Nair 0 Comments #Aamir Khan, #AishwaryaRai, #Amitabh Bachchan, #Anil Kapoor, #Anupam Kher, #Bollywood Stars Promoter, #Deepika Padukone, #Kapil Sharma, #Katrina Kaif, #Preity Zinta, #Rajender Singh, #Rekha, #Salman Khan, #Shah Rukh Khan

Rajender Singh, a notable bigwig amongst the Bollywood fraternity, is well known as the Bollywood Stars Promoter. In over two decades, he has promoted the Indian culture and heritage by successfully organizing over 125 concerts across the U.S. and about 12 internationally. Some of the high-profile stars that he has collaborated with include Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Anupam Kher, Deepika Padukone, Katrina Kaif, AishwaryaRai, Preity Zinta, Anil Kapoor, Aamir Khan, Salman Khan, Rekha, and Kapil Sharma, among others.

The President of Star Promotions Inc.is now on a noteworthy mission of providing medical assistance to as many as possible in India. When India was battling against the devastating second wave of the coronavirus, Indian-American entrepreneur Rajender Singh began offering relief for Indians struggling with this deadly disease.

In his efforts to save lives, Rajenderhas been consistently providing help in India by shipping over 200 oxygen concentrators, 50 oxygen cylinders and several oximeters to the country.

1. Tell us about your incredible experience of being a Bollywood stars promoter?

Ans.I am a proud Indian and this is what I love the most about what I do. Through my work as a Bollywood stars promoter, I get to promote Indian culture and heritage internationally. I have organized over 95 major Bollywood events across the US and my incredible journey of organizing events in US began in 1996 with superstar Dharmendra, Sonu Nigam and Mamata Kulkerni. My journey has been fabulous as I have had an honour of working with legends like Amitabh Bachchan, Anupam Kher, Shah Rukh Khan, and Amir Khan.

2. Memories that stand out?

Working with Amitabh Sir has been really inspirational. I remember once, there was a show in Houston, Texas which was obviously sold-out following Amitabh Sir’s stardom. Usually, the star of the show approaches the organizers if they need any tickets for personal use but Amitabh sir is so humble that he bought over a 100 tickets for his friends himself for his own show. He is an inspiration.

3. You have been a great inspiration for many as you have shown how help can be provided anywhere irrespective of your own location. How did it all begin?

Ans. The second wave of the Coronavirus was an overwhelming period for us all. My phone was flooded with messages from relatives, friends in India seeking his help. Seeing Americans walking around without masks and dining indoors at restaurants, I felt like I was betraying my country by being here. I felt paralyzed by powerlessness and I knew something has to be done for those in need.I was getting calls from many states in India for help. Once the momentum picked up and the process got streamlined, one lead led to another since the need was so great.

4. How did you manage to send the help across India?

Ans.My routine had gone for a toss. After sleepless nights, I was compulsively following headlines about what is happening in India, tweeting requests for help, and video conferencing with my friends and family.

Whenever I get a call from someone in distress, I tell them ‘Don’t worry. It’ll be alright.’ That’s half the battle won.

I got in touch with my contacts in the Health Ministry, both at the central and state level, the Indian Medical Association, local consulate, doctors, bureaucrats, politicians, and celebrities, to make it easy for many patients who needed help during this crisis.

I am also thankful to Bollywood actor Sonu Sood, who helped me in procuring several oxygen concentrators in the shortest time when needed critically.

At times, it took 50 calls to get a single bed in a hospital. Every life saved gave me fresh energy to help more. I am constantly in touch with Rajasthan health minister Raghu Sharma, Union Minister ArjunMeghwal, BMC Commissioner IS Chahal, and several others who have helped me help the people in crisis during these testing times.

5. How was the situation in Houston?

Well, a lot many Indian-American families in Houston metropolitan area, are mourning the deaths of family members, checking on relatives with growing alarm. I worked with a panel of COVID-19 experts in Houston to provide free consultations to patients and overwhelmed doctors in India.

6. What is the current scenario?

Ans. In a good sign, the frantic calls for help have become less. Now the needs have also changed as the demand is grown for the black fungus medication.

7. What are your thoughts about the vaccination?

Ans. The fight against Covid seems to be a long one and we can’t win this battle without vaccination. I hope people understand how crucially important it is to get vaccinated.

Rajender, who grew up in the state of Rajasthan, India, moved to the United States to begin his career in event management. He gradually gained popularity and now he is widely recognized as the man who brings the entire Bollywood industry together. He has led the promotion of the celebrity of Hindi cinema not only in the country but even internationally. He has promoted the very Indian culture and heritage internationally.
