Thane has been home to Abhinay Katta-a platform for budding actors- for the last seven years. Abhinay katta has given the film and television industry many talents. Sangeet Katta was started with a similar aim in January this year at Jijamata Garden in Bhaskar Colony near Shivaji Nagar. It began with a few music lovers and now has a fixed audience every Friday along with 25 regular singers.

There are children from the age of 10 till 50 and are open for those who love to play instruments. “There are many different talents with a theme every week. We sometimes get to see unexplored skill in some singers which is commendable. Last week we had somebody from the audience who whistled a few songs so beautifully and in perfect rhythm that we were all in awe of it. This is what draws me to the katta every week despite the long travel hours,” said Nisha Panchal, 43, singer and a regular audience at Sangeet Katta.
