Salim brought his trademark intensity, while Gino\u2019s rhythmic brilliance anchored the jam with infectious energy. As the night progressed, the stage became a revolving door of talent. Akriti Kakar joined in with her signature verve, while Shivan Mahadevan added youthful fire to the mix, turning the celebration into a multi-generational musical moment. Laughter, hugs and playful musical banter flowed as freely as the melodies.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"17\"\/>More than the star power, it was the warmth in the room that stood out.
