Shakila, born in Dhaka (Bangladesh), started singing in concerts
and radio programs at a very tender age of five. She has been an
illustrious pupil of the galaxy of greats - Ustaads Gulam Ambia,
Sanjeev Dey, Ustad Mohammad and Dilshad Khan.
Her versatile singing in classical, light and pop and that too
in several languages like Urdu, Punjabi and Bangla added a new
charm to her singing.
Virani, who has successfully organized other sold-out shows such
as Munni Begum concert last January, appeared pleased with the
turn out. He has more upcoming events including the King of
Comedy Poetry Dr. Kumar Vishwas on May 12 and a full scale

release selected ghazals on his facebook.com/DesiWebShow
Virani promised to bring Shakila Ahmed back again this year for
those who missed the show! His Atlanta Event Hall, with a
capacity from 50-700 is available for private or community
functions.
