ANGELS OF ROCK
MTV had set out to score another big win for woman power with
the youth brand launching its brand new show, Sunsilk & MTV
present Angels of Rock. The idea is to give viewers some major
woman - power punch as four Angels of Rock, Shalmali Kholgade,
Jasmine Sandlas, Akasa Singh and Anusha Mani ride across
the country to draw inspiration from extraordinary women
across cities, towns and villages of incredible India. Be privy to
a musical road trip of a lifetime, as these women on a mission.
This show will see four rockstars journeying across the country
with an aim to bring women power to the fore. The angels, who
have each picked their own stories which have inspired them,
will kick- start the action- packed journey from Mumbai, pit
stopping at various destinations meeting ordinary women who
have made extraordinary contributions to the society through
their work with the journey culminating at the Wagah Border.
The angels will meet inspiring women such as the female fire-
fighters of Jaipur, the women running an all-woman radio
station in a village in Gujarat, the female rickshaw drivers of
Haryana in their famed Gulabi Autos, an inspiring young lady
sarpanch, and many more incredible women with extraordinary
stories and present to us original songs in each episode which
capture the spirit of these stories. Sunsilk & MTV present Angels
of Rock is unique in more ways than one, as it’s a one-of-a-kind-
show made of an entirely female led cast and crew filming it. A
show made by women with love for everyone. Promoting female
solidarity and honoring fierce women, present Angels of Rock
will bring with it an amazing concoction of music, adventure
and women power through an exploratory bike road trip by four
rockstars. MTV puts Angels Of Rock at the forefront of a new
generation of females who know their worth and know who run
the world – GIRLS!
