Anushka Sen has made history by being the first Indian performer to take the stage live in Times Square, New York City. Through their partnership on AY Young‘s Battery Tour, the multi-talented actor and aspiring singer cemented her place in the western music world. AY Young is the UN Young Leader for SDGs. Anushka and AY performed their song “Graduation” from the album Project 17 as part of the tour, which aims to power 1,000 concerts using clean energy. The album is named after the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations, and the song, which Grammy Award-winning Ken Lewis produced, emphasizes Anushka’s support of education.
The Climate Group planned the event, which took place during Climate Week and marked a pivotal point in Anushka’s career as she represented India internationally. Anushka wore a dress that a local Jaipur designer had repurposed during her Times Square performance, demonstrating not only her vocal prowess but also her commitment to sustainability. The ensemble, worn with a customary bindi, perfectly captured the amalgamation of Indian customs with worldwide representation. Anushka enthralled the crowd with her grace and confidence while performing with a live band, highlighting her message of environmental sustainability and global education.
Anushka expressed her pleasure after her ground-breaking performance by saying, “I’m extremely grateful to be the first Indian to play at Times Square. Seeing people from all over the world watching us was thrilling. I want to express my gratitude to Ken Lewis for flying in to support us and to AY Young for this chance; it truly seems like I have family in America. This voyage is unique because it’s about spreading awareness for the world and the things that need to be done for Mother Earth; it’s about more than just music. People from diverse cultures can magically unite through music, and the friendly atmosphere of the audience makes it feel like home. It was amazing to see so many of my Indian admirers swing with me while I played. I adored my ensemble—the bindi was my favourite piece—and it was the ideal fusion of Indian and American fashions. I can’t wait to continue exploring on this new musical journey—this is just the beginning.”
The most recent accomplishment in Anushka’s brief career is her Times Square debut. She’s also becoming well-known abroad. She’s presently filming Asia, a K-Film, which will be her first foreign movie. In it, she plays the lead in an action thriller that promises to be thrilling, alongside actors from all over the continent.
Even at the age of 21, Anushka breaks down barriers, serving as a global ambassador for India and an inspiration to a new generation of artists. Her incredible performance at Times Square is proof of her commitment and passion, opening doors for even more amazing possibilities down the road.
