Cultivate Talents Unlimited LLC Brings Community Together with Successful "Dosti Special Jamming Night" in New Jersey
NEW JERSEY — August 13, 2026 —
Cultivate Talents Unlimited LLC (CTU) marked Friendship Day with a first-of-its-kind musical production, the "Dosti Special Jamming Night," hosted at the iconic Royal Albert’s Palace. Drawing a vibrant crowd of 250 attendees, the event was a heartfelt celebration of friendship, community, and timeless music.

Curated by CTU founders Jyotsna and Tarun Sharma—the creative minds behind the popular "Bhajan Clubbing Nights" in the U.S.—the evening featured an ensemble of 15 professional Bollywood vocalists and musicians. Guests enjoyed a three-hour journey through classic and contemporary Bollywood hits, singing along and reminiscing about lifelong bonds before enjoying a lavish three-course dinner. As the team performed, guests took to the open dance floor to sway and dance along, while the dynamic sister dancing duo, Tarika and Tanvika, further amplified the lively energy with vibrant routines to peppy numbers.

Beyond the music and dance, CTU highlighted community spirit by honoring prominent leaders and supporters with special awards: Community Icon Awards: Indian Business Association, Inc.; Dr. H.R. Shah (Padma Shri, Chairman of TV Asia); Dr. Sudhir Parikh (Padma Shri, Chairman of Parikh Worldwide Media); Piyush J. Patel (Philanthropist & Founder, Unity4Cause); Dr. Avinash Gupta (Chairman, Siddhivinayak Temple, Toms River); Dr. Puneet Misra (Professor, AIIMS New Delhi); and Albert Jasani (Philanthropist & Owner, Royal Albert’s Palace).

Friendship Icon Awards: Anu & Surinder Kumar (Grand Sponsors, Suhag Jewelers); Simran & Harman Ahuja (Ahuja Perfumes / Gift Express); Sweety Shah (Sweety Shah Events); Dr. Garima Jain (President, Healing Handz Physical Therapy); Shalini Jain (Reiki Healer & Founder, Palmarott); and Anita Chadha (Founder, Saraswati Cultural Association).
The event also featured a poignant tribute honoring late community members, paying special homage to the late Mrs. Shobhana Patel, Philanthropist and Partner of Royal Albert’s Palace, for her lasting contributions and dedicated friendship to the community.

"While there are many events for festivals or Valentine's Day, true friendship rarely gets its own spotlight," said founders Jyotsna and Tarun Sharma. "Friends are our biggest support system outside of family, and we wanted to create an evening dedicated entirely to celebrating those irreplaceable bonds."

The evening’s lineup of featured artists included:
Vocalists: Aanchal Sinha Shrivastava, Aparna Oak, Ankur Vyas, Ishaan Manurker, Manish Bhattacharya, Nidhi Mishra, Dr. Rajeev Sharma, Venkat Krishnan and Vidyut P. Hitnalikar
Musicians: Anil Sachdeva (Djambe & Harmonica), Hemant Sharma (Dholak & Octopad), Monty Lalani (Handsonic & Percussions), Ram Sekar & Chaitanya Shelar (Guitars), Sushant Yadav (Keyboards), and Clezani (Saxophone).
Dancers: Tarika & Tanvika.

Attendees widely praised the unique event, encouraging CTU to continue producing similar cultural gatherings in the future.
