“Every great show has two stages — one where the artist performs, and another where friendship, trust, and support quietly make the magic possible.”
When Jay-Ho! brought the legendary Abhijeet Bhattacharya to Boston for “Relive the Romance, Reignite the Magic,” it wasn’t just another concert — it was a night that celebrated music, community, and heartfelt relationships. As the auditorium filled with timeless melodies and cheering fans, there was an equally powerful story unfolding behind the stage — one of teamwork, trust, and the unwavering support of people who believe in Jay-Ho!’s mission to connect cultures through entertainment.
During the evening, Jay Kumar took a special moment to acknowledge those whose contributions went far beyond sponsorship. At the heart of that gratitude were Sanjeev and Babita Sood of Sood Realty Trust, whose generosity and encouragement formed a cornerstone of the event’s success. The Soods have long supported community initiatives, and their belief in Jay-Ho!’s vision of cultural exchange continues to inspire confidence and momentum.
And then there’s Dev Patil of Treasury Restaurant, a name that resonates across the Boston area’s dining and cultural circles. Dev owns and operates three renowned restaurants, each known for its quality, warmth, and welcoming spirit. His extraordinary support, humility, and generosity go far beyond business. Dev is not just a partner but a pure gem — someone who embodies friendship, sincerity, and community spirit in every sense. His constant encouragement and leadership ensured that the concert carried the signature flavor of hospitality and heart that Jay-Ho! has become known for. A respected entrepreneur with strong influence in the region, Dev’s connection to Jay-Ho! reflects how art, business, and community can beautifully come together.
Standing alongside them was Romi Salhi, a well-known and trusted name within both the Jay-Ho! and broader community circle. Romi’s quiet yet consistent support has been instrumental in many of Jay-Ho!’s landmark events, and his belief in the platform’s ability to bridge entertainment and community spirit remains unshakable. From promoting Jay-Ho! initiatives online to personally helping the Jay-Ho! Tickets team at Apna Bazar set up the booth and standee, his thoughtful gestures truly reflect his hands-on spirit, humility, and camaraderie.
Sunil Kapoor, who manages Apna Bazar Lowell, has always offered his support in the most personal way — as if every Jay-Ho! event were his own. As Jay Kumar fondly puts it, “There are a few things you can’t buy with money — genuine care, loyalty, and friendship. Sunil has them all.” Sunil goes the extra mile to promote every event with dedication and warmth, bringing a remarkable personal touch that adds heart to the Jay-Ho! experience. His enthusiasm and positivity infused energy into every stage of preparation, making him a true pillar of strength. Sunil Kapoor, Jay says, “is a friend and support you can count on — a blessing indeed.” His brother Naveen Kapoor shares the same spirit of appreciation and encouragement, making the Kapoor family’s contribution a shining example of friendship and community pride.
Adding to this circle of strength were Sanjeev Khosla, Sumit of Apna Bazar, and Sandeep Bajaj of Esplanda, each playing a quiet yet meaningful role in the event’s success. Their steady encouragement and trust reflect a shared belief in promoting community connection and supporting creative endeavors. Whether through thoughtful guidance, operational help, or simply standing by the Jay-Ho! team, their involvement embodies the values of reliability and shared purpose that keep this platform moving forward.
Sandeep Asija of Asija Properties has supported Jay-Ho! since the very beginning. He attended the show with his mother Puran Asija and close friend Daria, adding a warm personal touch to the evening. It was truly special to have the blessings of Sandeep’s mother present at the event — as Jay Kumar beautifully puts it, “When elders join an occasion, they don’t just witness it — they bless it. Their presence turns an event into a memory.” Sandeep once again extended his faith and goodwill, both as a professional and as a personal well-wisher, reinforcing how genuine trust and relationships continue to power Jay-Ho!’s journey.
Surinder Ahluwalia of Ahluwalia Law Firm was another pillar of support whose presence added credibility and reassurance. Known for his community-minded approach, Surinder’s guidance and generosity reflect the very essence of partnership that Jay-Ho! values so deeply.
The acknowledgment continued with heartfelt appreciation for Raj Gupta and Dr. Raju Singla, two individuals whose encouragement and thoughtfulness behind the scenes helped the Jay-Ho! team execute this grand concert flawlessly. Their belief in the mission of promoting meaningful, high-quality entertainment within the community made a genuine difference.
No Jay-Ho! concert feels complete without the participation of community leaders like Nilesh Agrawal of IAGB, whose support and goodwill bridged the event’s connection to Boston’s cultural heartbeat.
Photography for the evening was handled by Ronnie Saini and Tulan Kantesaria, two talented professionals who together captured the energy, elegance, and emotion of the event. Ronnie, who has covered most of Jay-Ho!’s major concerts, once again brought his signature precision and style, while Tulan’s creative eye added depth and spontaneity to every frame. It was wonderful to have both of them covering the show from different angles, ensuring that no special moment went unnoticed. Their combined efforts beautifully preserved the spirit of the night and the essence of Jay-Ho!’s celebration of music and community.
Together, these friends, supporters, and partners turned the Abhijeet Bhattacharya concert into more than just a show — they transformed it into a collective celebration of art, relationships, and community pride. Their belief and backing remind us that while melodies may echo for a night, true harmony is created by people who come together to make dreams happen.
As Jay Kumar beautifully summed it up on stage: “Music connects hearts, but it’s people like these who make the connection last.”
