New Delhi: On the occasion of Christmas Eve, the Press Club of India organised a special musical programme, ‘Aao Tumhein Chaand Pe Le Jaayein’, bringing together members of the media fraternity and their families for an evening of cultural celebration.

The event featured live performances by Ankita Pathak, Shahid, Neeraj Thakur, Amit and Ravinder Kumar. Music was arranged by Kamal Rai and his band, with sound support by Jeetu Sound. IPS Bawa anchored and directed the programme.

Neeraj Thakur, who earlier served as General Secretary of the Press Club of India, said the evening reflected the collective spirit of the Club. “Christmas Eve at the Press Club is about togetherness. Performing here feels like being with family, people with whom one has shared years of professional life, conversations and camaraderie,” he said.

PCI President Sangeeta Barooah Pisharoty, on the occasion, said cultural events play an important role in sustaining the Club’s community ethos.
“The Press Club is not confined to professional engagement alone. Programmes like this strengthen camaraderie and keep the sense of community alive,” she said.
