Amrita & Karan Bhasin: This sister-brother duo teamed up together to create the film “Basketball Singh”. “Basketball Singh” is an award-winning film at the 2014 Sikhnet Film Festival. They decided to produce this film in order to demonstrate to parents and children that it is possible to strike a healthy balance between religious and familial expectations, and mainstream activities – a topic very relevant to young Sikh Americans. The film shows a young Sikh boy who has a conflict between his basketball practices and Punjabi and Khalsa school classes. He also encounters discouragement from his friends and the media regarding whether or not it is possible to play basketball while wearing a turban. The boy shows uncommon courage in pursuing his dreams, and the film sends a great message out to the Sikh American youth. We are so looking forward to having these gorgeous siblings with us for our December 6th event! Hope to see you there.
Shivpreet Singh: Love to sing? Come meet Shivpreet Singh! He is a leading New Age musician in the United States, and ranks in the top 5 in the US on Reverbnation charts. He is trained in both Indian classical music and Western composition.
