TV Asia, the first 24/7 coast-to-coast infotainment channel especially produced in America for Indian Americans since 1993, and Boston-based Juju Productions, announced the launch of “Jukebox with Juju,” a 30-minute music show that will air every Monday at 8:00 PM and will be repeated on Wednesdays at 7:30 PM and Fridays at 1230pM (All EST), starting from July 4, 2022.

In 2021, Ms. Palakurthi produced the first-ever Bollywood-Hollywood online concert for Covid relief support in India with noted celebrities like Sting, Andrea Boccelli, Shabana Azmi, Anil Kapoor and others.
“We are pleased to have Anuradha Juju host this new show on TV Asia. Mrs. Palakurthi’s music productions are amongst the best. Our viewers will further enjoy the presentation of leading Bollywood composers, singers and musicians with whom she has already worked,” said Padma Shri Dr H. R. Shah, Chairman and CEO of TV Asia. “Mrs. Palakurthi’s philanthropic work has driven significant change, and I am particularly gratified that she will use part of the show’s time to highlight exceptional work being done by non-profits by the Indian diaspora.”
Added Ms. Palakurthi: “I am delighted to work with TV Asia. I was touched by their approach and commitment to the content as well as longstanding engagement with the Indian American community. I am hopeful that we will produce shows that will help families sit together and watch.”
Ms. Palakurthi is known for her versatility, as no genre is beyond her vocal range- be it a Film Song, Classical, Bhajan, Sufi, Ghazal, or Pop. She has sung in numerous Indian languages and has performed with many Bollywood singers across the United States and in India.
