POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Habiba Nosheen spent years on stories most cameras never reach. With The Gymnasts of Fisherman Colony, she takes us to Machar Colony in Karachi, where many families live without citizenship in their own country, and where a handful of teenage girls found joy, confidence and a little rebellion on a gymnastics mat.

Pakistani-born, three-time Emmy and Peabody Award-winning journalist and filmmaker Habiba Nosheen sits down with Sammy Chand on The Bridge to talk about the girls, the community, and the story that found her.

Amaalians, this one’s for you ⚡️🖤⚡️
Tomorrow on The Bridge with Sammy Chand, Amaal Mallik sits down for a real, authentic,, long-form conversation. It ran so long that it became two parts: Part 1 airs this week, and Part 2 follows next week.

He’s the composer, singer and producer behind “Sooraj Dooba Hain,” “Bol Do Na Zara” and “Main Rahoon Ya Na Rahoon.” He scored M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story and Kabir Singh, and this year he gave us “Yeh Awarapan.” He has Filmfare and IIFA wins, and millions watched him be unapologetically himself on Bigg Boss 19.

Few artists have a fanbase this loyal, and few stay this honest and real.

Today on The Bridge with Sammy Chand is Yelhomie (Thiyam James Luwang), a rapper from Imphal, Manipur, whose name comes from “Yelhoumee,” the Manipuri word for Indigenous people.

He lived through the violence in Manipur: the killings, the curfews, the internet shutdowns, and the silence while his home went missing from the headlines. So he picked up the mic. Tracks like “We Outside” and “Is India My Home?” came out of that time, written for his people and his community so the world couldn’t look away.

Tonight he opens up about what he witnessed, and how music became the way he carried the pain, processed it, and turned it into something that could shine a light.✊🏽

Before the music, there was kabaddi.
@mahlanwala59 left Punjab at 17 and built a life in Auckland. He worked and played the sport for years. Then a knee injury took the game away, and he started writing songs. He’d been writing lyrics for friends all along. Once he started writing for himself, he couldn’t stop.
During Corona he began posting freestyles on Instagram from New Zealand. People found them and kept sharing them. A few sessions later, “Scenario” took him from the internet to the charts.
He tells the whole story to Sammy Chand, including the moment he realized the music was meant to be his.

A girl from Sri Ganganagar, Rajasthan, left a steady engineering career to follow a feeling. Hindi poetry, a microphone, and a lot of faith.

Today, Nayab Midha is the voice behind Rajkumari, the show that took spoken word from small rooms to a sold-out stadium in Delhi, and now across North America. Her message to every woman in the room: you were never waiting to be rescued. You are your own Rajkumari. 👑

On The Bridge, Sammy Chand goes beyond the stage with her: the poem that changed everything overnight, the conversation with her father that set her free, and what it means to open doors for every poet coming up behind her.
