Known for her stellar
performances in films such as Virasat, Haseena Maan Jayegi, Kahin Pyaar Na Ho
Jaaye and Chandralekha (Malayalam) and Kandukondain Kandukondain among others,
former Miss India and acclaimed Bollywood actress Pooja Batra has donned the
entrepreneurial cap yet again.
Currently settled in Los Angeles
for the past few years, the actor has founded and launched USA’s new Bollywood
favorite radio station called Mera Sangeet. Albeit, being launched recently,
the stream station already boasts of massive listeners.
“I wanted to provide the Indian
diaspora in US and Canada with something that takes them closer to home. We
have an iPhone app and an android phone app and now people living here can
listen to their favorite music for free.” Says Batra, CEO Glowbellinc.
In addition to running the
operations of the radio station, Batra will also play RJ, engaging with
listeners. Additionally Indian actors such as Deepti Bhatnagar, international
photographer Ash Gupta and acclaimed writer, director Ghalib Shiraz Dhalla have
also been roped in by Batra to be celebrity Radio Jockeys for the fast growing
radio station.
“I picked up the phone on my friends Deepti
and Ash and they graciously agreed. I am thankful to them. It is going to be a
wonderful journey that I am most excited about. We have some amazing RJ's Sahil
and Karan who have a fan following you can't imagine,” adds Batra.
Anshu Vijay Rode of Anjaney
Entertainment and Opie Singh, with whom Batra has collaborated on this venture,
also will look into the operations of the venture.
In the recent past Batra
introduced numerous Indian filmmakers to Hollywood A-listers for their upcoming
projects, in addition to heading an LA based casting agency. With the various hats donned by
the supermodel-actress, Batra certainly seems to flying the Indian flag high
internationally.
