“The thought of performing for the 100th time naturally takes me back to the earliest days of visiting Xrong Place. Even during the adversities of the pandemic, I will always remember Gagandeep sir (owner, Xrong Place) sharing words of encouragement and opportunities whenever possible. In times where entertainment often equals loud music, I am glad that soft melodies and compositions could make their way to the audience, who have always been my strength. The entire staff team’s relentless support and care made this threeand-a-half-year journey a smooth one. Audience! What can a performer be without their audience? This 100th show will always be memorable and special for the warmth and support of so many well-wishers and friends,” said Sudip Bera.
