Like Mondays, Mumbai even has karaoke nights on Wednesday, as many people go to beat their mid-week blues with some song and dance to English and Hindi karaoke nights. While traditionally people may imagine Friday, Saturday and Sunday to be the days to party, these karaoke nights tell a different story.
Glynis Simoes (left), who is a professional singer now, started hosting karaoke in 2013 and has seen more people pick the mic confidently these days than before.
Having always been passionate about singing, Nicole Ann Pereira used to go for karaoke nights with her friends since she was 18, instead of going out dancing.
Juhu-based Mario Andrade has been a karaoke jockey for two decades now and hosts karaoke nights almost every day of the week in Mumbai
Meldan D'Cunha, owner of Soul Fry in Bandra, started karaoke nights in 2001 and has managed to have a packed night every Monday, apart from other days of the week.
