Security guard becomes overnight singing sensation

Kolkata: There is an enormous pool of unidentified talent in India, although young people have been astonishing crowds with their abilities. But people who did not get access to popular media, have found a platform in social media, to go ahead and show their talent to the world.

While there have been fruit sellers becoming overnight singing sensations and a tea vendor going on to charm women across borders, a watchman has now joined the list of talented people making waves on the digital space.

In a video doing the rounds on Facebook, the security guard at a Kolkata mall can be seen singing a song from Khamoshiyan originally popularised in Arijit Singh’s voice, and it cannot be ruled out that the man gave tough competition to the Bollywood singing sensation.

While many fail to achieve their dreams due to lack of recognition, such videos are increasingly giving a chance to people who want to take their talent from the streets to a wider audience.
