On 29 May, Colors hosted its second edition of Talent Hunt Australia in collaboration with Elegant Creations, the idea behind the show being to give Australian talent an opportunity to be showcased around the globe.
More than 400 people cheered as talented contestants from Melbourne, Brisbane and Adelaide showed off their expertise in everything from magic shows to dancing at the event held at Parra Villa Function Lounge in Parramatta.
There were twenty nine shortlisted participants who sang, danced, played instruments, but it was young Australian Jasmine Khan, who stole the show – and won the competition with her rendition of Alexandra Burke’s ‘Hallelujah’. Jasmine will be flying to India to participate in the popular reality TV show India’s Got Talent, her entire journey organised by Elegant Creations and Colors. “There are many more competitions and events which the Australian community can look forward to in the coming months,” said Dr Madhvi Mohindra, founder of Elegant Creations, and who also oversees marketing and advertising for Colors.
Celebrity judges for the evening included Director of Mindblowing Films-Melbourne Mitu Bhowmick-Lange; actor-singer-songwriter Nicholas Brown; and CEO of MultiConnexions, and National Vice Chair Australia India Business Council Sheba Nandkeolyar.
“The uniqueness of this show is that it is absolutely free of charge for the audience and the participants. That is not usually the case with competitions organised within the Australian-Indian community,” said Madhvi.
Support Independent Community Journalism
Dear Reader,The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability. We publish in print and online, send regular newsletters and produce video content. We also run media training programs to help community organisations share their own stories.
We operate independently.
Community journalism does not have the backing of large media corporations. Advertising revenue fluctuates. Platform algorithms change. Costs continue to rise. Yet the need for credible, grounded reporting in a multicultural Australia has never been greater.

• Independent reporting on issues affecting migrant communities
• Coverage of local and state decisions that shape daily life
