Singer Asha Bhosale has recorded a special song-Thoomka Laga-and
even shot a music video that shows a 16-year old Gauri hailing
from a slum in Bandra East who has lost her leg while sleeping
on a footpath in Mumbai. "I was barely two then," says
Gauri smiling. Gauri's only dream was to dance and she removes
her artificial limb and gracefully dances on one foot. Gauri is
the face of the exihibition that is called Star in The City to
be held in Amsterdam. In fact Annemies Broekgaarden, The Head
of the Tropenmuseum Junior Amsterdam along with Mumbai based Producer/Director,Nameeta
Premkumar Nair have recreated the whole city of Mumbai in Amsterdam
for the exihibition to be showcased for 2.5 years in Amsterdam.
"And Mumbai is incomplete without Bollywood being a part
of it. Thus the music video that Asha Bhosale has sung that tells
that life is all about dreaming big to make it in the city of
Mumbai," said Annemies.
