A crowd of over 1,000 blue collar workers sang, danced and celebrated as their colleagues and contestants performed at a talent show organsied at a workers' accommodation in Al Qouz on Friday night.
Talent knew no bounds as office boys, electricians and other workers put their best foot forward as they displayed their singing and dancing skills at the show that saw Javed Jaffrey, the Bollywood actor, dancer and performer, as the guest of honour.
Two office boys and a car mechanic won Dh10,000, Dh5000, and Dh2,000 respectively in the 'Colors Ka Sartaj' contests.
The event was a talent hunt organised for the welfare of UAE's hardworking blue-collar community. The contestants were judged for their singing, dancing and entertaining skills.
IndiaCast has introduced this event aimed at unearthing the talent hidden in this community while providing a platform to these unsung heroes of the UAE to showcase their exceptional capabilities.
The event has reached out to around 60,000 blue collar workers across the UAE, and conducted auditions in over 60 workers' accommodations from which 14 most- talented candidates performed at the finale on Friday.
"Such talent shows are a service to the community and we should have more such events for these workers. We have to realise that these workers have left their families and are doing extreme physical labour here.
"So it is both physical and mental challenges that they are braving. So let's look at ways to bring them happiness by helping them hone their talent, make them self confident.
"We should plan more events and celebrations for them throughout the year and make them feel good about themselves," said Javed Jaffrey, who made his presence felt by his witty one-liners at the event.
