Sudesh said that purpose of this event is to spearhead a Dogra Movement in Delhi-NCR keeping political parties, leaders of all the hues and VIPs away.
Each and every participant of Dogra ‘Mel-Malaap’ expressed himself through singing and dancing, but prominent singer Dheeraj Sharma and dancer Neha Sharma, Pallavi Sharma, Manya Dogra, Bhumakshi Sharma and Nidhi Sharma stole the show.
