Today The True Showcase by True School Of Music has lined up a special performance that will celebrate two visually impaired musicians, Nitesh Sonawane and Sarfaraz Qureshi. Prateik Babbar will also be present, ready to showcase a four-minute video he features in, made with NGO Human Touch, to stress that talent comes from anywhere and it needs to be spotted and nurtured. Excerpts from an interview with the actor:

Q.Why did you choose to get associated with this project?
A. The director of the video, Aatish Dabral and I have been friends for a long time. We started as interns in the same production house about 10 to 12 years ago and have kept in touch since. He’s now associated with The Human Touch that makes movies about humanity and sacrifice. In terms of reaching out to the public, you cannot go wrong with this. That’s one of the reasons I wanted to do this. I wanted to get back on the map, in terms of being visible in the public eye again and this was a great way to get back. It (the video) carries a beautiful message.
