During her Times Square performance, Anushka wore an upcycled outfit from a local designer in Jaipur, reflecting her commitment to promoting homegrown brands and sustainability. She paired her attire with a small bindi for a cultural touch. Performing alongside a live band, she delivered her vocals with confidence, representing India on an international stage. This event, set in one of the world’s busiest intersections, emphasized her focus on global education, environmental sustainability, and the betterment of the world.
Reminiscing her experience, Anushka shared “I am so grateful that I got to be the first Indian to perform at Times Square. The fact that there were people from all over the world watching us perform was an exhilarating experience. I am so thankful to AY Young for giving me this opportunity and Ken Lewis who flew in just to support us, it makes me feel like I have a family in America. Also this musical journey is special cause it’s more than just entertainment, it’s for the planet and awareness of what we need to achieve in the coming years for our Mother Earth. The way music connects different people from different cultures and parts of the world is magical. So warm the audience was and super supportive, didn’t feel like it was my first time performing. So many Indian fans were present there who supported me and swayed with me while I performed. I loved what I was wearing cause it was the perfect combo of Indian and American. The bindi was my fav part. This is a new beginning, can’t wait to see what all I will be exploring and experiencing in this new journey of music.”
