"Humbled to be recognized in THE ANOKHI LIST 2015 for work that one does without any expectation of accolades and a privilege to be sharing the evening with such leading personalities of the South Asian community at ANOKHI MEDIA’s 12^th Anniversary Award Show here in Toronto."- Zaib Shaikh

“On television, Zaib has portrayed a spiritual leader. "Today, he assumes the real-life role of industry leader and champion. He will use his vast knowledge and experience to build upon Toronto's legacy as a film and television hub, with a focus on engaging and expanding partnerships in our city's evolving media and entertainment landscape."

– Chair of Toronto's Economic Development and Culture Committee, Councillor Michael Thompson.

Bollywood Celebrity Fashion Designer

“I am extremely thrilled for the North American showcase of my collection at theANOKHI event in Toronto on March 28, 2015. The collection that I will be showcasing is an exclusive range of evening wear.”—Archana Kochhar

“It is always a pleasure to wear an Archana Kochhar ensemble as it always complements my femininity in every sense of the way. I think a saree-gown is an amazing introduction of our traditional saree to the west and not only is it stunning but it drapes sensuously over every feminine curve, the outcome being bewitching.”

– Celina Jaitley

Rishi Rich
Music Producer

"I am very humbled to be honoured by the prestigious ANOKHI awards and am very much looking forward to attending the event.”—Rishi Rich

“If I had to choose one musician who I think was responsible for putting the Indian sound out there in the international market, it would without a doubt, be Rishi. He’s been a beacon for all the young musicians and a pioneer in making Desi cool.”

– Bollywood Actor Abhishek Bachchan

Manj Musik
Formally of RDB

“I'd like to thank ANOKHI for inviting me to their amazing awards show and I’m very excited to give them a little exclusive Manj Musik performance. Thank you for including me in the 2015 Coffee Table Book and for acknowledging my accomplishments. At the end of the day, I do this for the fans and it’s my passion to entertain…. Thank you!”- Manj Musik

“Manj is a mastermind! I love what he made for me,”

– Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan.

DJ Rekha
Cultural Icon & Founder Of Basement Bhangra

“I have been a fan of ANOKHI since its inception. Raj Girn has created a platform that recognizes all that our South Asian community accomplished. I am humbled to be recognized and part of this historically esteemed list of exceptional South Asians. Toronto is an amazing musical town and it’s an honour to headline the after-party. Toronto, can’t wait to party with you!”- DJ Rekha

“Rekha is not only a masterful and accomplished DJ, she is also unpretentious, humble and generous. Her commitment to social justice and education is integral to her artistic practice. Whether it’s a secret dance club in Brooklyn or a reception hosted by Barack Obama, she always makes people dance.”

– Padma Lakshmi, Author & Host of Top Chef

Karen David
Actress ABC's Galavant

“It’s such a tickling thought that I’ll be included amongst several talented people in ANOKHI’s first ever book. Good company to be in and I’m very honoured and thankful for the continued support ANOKHI have blessed me with throughout my career. It’ll be wonderful to perform some new songs of mine from my forthcoming EP and from Galavant at ANOKHI’s 12th Anniversary!”– Karen David

“Karen is one of those people who, when you first meet her, you are instantly wary of, because you find it hard to believe that someone can really be so nice. But then, you spend more time with her and you realize it’s not an act – that she’s just genuine and kind in the way most of us pretend to be genuine and kind. It doesn't hurt that she's insanely talented, and the camera loves her, and her face photographs so expressively that even the slightest look from her can save you six pages of expositional dialogue. I adore her."

– Dan Fogelman, Creator of ABC’s Hit TV Show, Galavant

Vinay Virmani
Actor-Writer, Breakaway & Dr. Cabbie

"ANOKHI has always been a leader in showcasing South Asian talent to mainstream audiences. They celebrate being unique and our unity as South Asian artists. I'm very honoured to be included in THE ANOKHI LIST 2015 and also to take part in their exciting Award Show this year." – Vinay Virmani

“He’s polite, he’s respectful and he’s a damn good actor.”

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan

Zameer Rizvi
Singer-Songwriter

“ANOKHI MEDIA put me on the map back in 2009 when they awarded me their 'Most Promising Musical Artist' award. Now, five years later, I’m honoured to be invited back to put on a kick-ass show as a testament to ANOKHI’s faith in me from the beginning. I can’t wait for this event, which has quickly become the South Asian Oscars.”
– Zameer Rizvi

“Zameer is larger than life and is an incredibly authentic artist. Producing his upcoming album “Her” was an epic journey for all of us, as I’m sure it will be for its listeners”

13 Times Juno Winner & Grammy Nominated Music Producer, Gavin Brown

Ali Hassan
Comedian-Actor

“There is no greater joy than having your hard work recognized, especially when it’s by the leading South Asian Lifestyle & Entertainment media brand. Thank you, ANOKHI!”- Ali Hassan

“Ali Hassan is ANOKHI because there’s no other man in the world that can tell a funny joke, cook a gourmet meal, change two sets of diapers, tell another joke, tape an audition, aaaand beat you at scrabble, all at the same friggin’ time!”

– Rup Magon, JoSH the BaND

Danish Anwar
