New Year Eve Bash -2016, with Bollywood Actress Neha Dhupia, at the Meadows Club in Chicago

Chicago IL: Nick Joshi from Shy Entertainment organized a splendid New Year's Eve celebration on Thursday, December 31, 2015 at Meadows Club, Rolling Meadows, IL. The gorgeous Bollywood actress, Neha Dhupia, set the stage literally on fire with her foot thumping and show stopping dance performance on a medley of songs that left the audience spellbound on the eve of the New Year. Audiences were house full despite awful weather in Chicago.

The spectacular celebrations also brought together the best of entertainment, beverage, fun, food, and festivities into one power-packed evening. Dramatic technical effects, including three-dimensional projection, stereophonic sound, and cold pyrotechnics accentuated the evening.

In addition to the dance performances, Neha played an exciting game, "Kaun Banega Neha Ka Pati". To her pleasant surprise, a large number of her hardcore fans, as young as 8 and as old as 80, took to the stage and staked their serious claim to marry her. Neha got everyone involved, asked them interesting questions and had a great time. And of course, all of them got an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to grove to the music and compliment to the moves of the lovely lady on the dance floor and added a sparkling dash of Neha to their New Year's Eve celebrations.

The action-packed and electrifying dance performance by one of the finest, most talented, and best dance groups of the US, Yeh Cheez Group, on the song "Singh is King", conceptualized by Noman Khan and Farah Khan, uplifted the mood of the audience. Even Neha, who was a part of the song in the film, looked super-excited watching Yeh Cheez Group perform on this medley. The usage of glow swords, formations, and executions were just phenomenal. "One of the best performance that I have ever witnessed; it was really magical", said Neha who was virtually in a state of shock and awe.

Right after "Singh is King", there was another dance performance by Yeh Cheez Group, which was interrupted by Noman Khan in the middle. He requested Neha to join them on stage and shake a leg. Neha was very hesitant, but when the crowd, with their loud scream and applauses, requested her to dance, she could not say "No". She joined Yeh Cheez Group and they did a mind blowing dance performance which got everyone on their feet and the performance literally ended 10 seconds before the countdown for the New Year. It ended on the song "Abhi To Party Shuru Hui Hai".

The versatile trio, Pratibha Jairath, Rinki Talati and SanketMohan Patel rendered hit and happening Bollywood tracks, including "Prem Ratan Dhan Payo", "Chikni Chameli", "Mainu Pyar Na Mile Na Mile To Mar Jawan", "Ram Ji Ki Chal Dekho", and many more and mesmerized the audience.

There was a belly dancing performance by Alexandra Constantinescu and Dimitra Louloudaki, which proved to be a riotously colorful and entertaining spectacle. It offered an intriguing glimpse into the world of belly dance, which was a scintillating mix of myth, history, folklore, and fantasy.

The DJ, Prashant Shah, played hits of yesterday, today, and tomorrow for the audience to dance their feet off into 2016.

There were raffles in between the performances and the organizers gave away a lot of exciting gifts to the raffle winners sponsored by Studio Elite, Holiday Inn (Itasca), Expressions Boutique, etc.

"What an amazing night and what a superb way to bring in 2016! The crowd at the Meadows Club was tremendous, responsive, and supportive. With their fabulous and unstoppable energy, they truly inspired me as a performer", said Neha with sense gratefulness.
