Bollywood actor and reality television star Ashmit Patel is set to celebrate Christmas 2024 in a uniquely personal way. He will be behind the DJ console, spinning tracks for a festive crowd in Goa on Christmas Eve, fulfilling a teenage dream he secretly nurtured years ago.
From Bollywood Screens to Digital Decks
Ashmit Patel, known for his roles in films like Murder, Nazar, and Inteha, has successfully carved a niche across entertainment mediums. His versatility extended to reality TV, where he participated in Fear Factor India 2 and Power Couple, and also hosted Superdude. Today, his focus is actively shifting towards exploring opportunities in the digital space.
However, a quieter passion has always played a powerful role in his life away from the cameras: music. The actor confesses that he admired DJs from a very young age. This admiration turned into a clandestine practice during his teenage years when he began DJing secretly in Goa.
The Fulfillment of a Long-Standing Dream
In 2024, Ashmit Patel decided to formally return to this early passion. He describes this move as the fulfilment of a long-standing dream, which he is now actively pursuing through live gigs and working on original music releases. This professional dive into music marks a significant new chapter in his career.
"This Christmas is going to be really special because I’ll be in Goa, doing a DJ gig on Christmas Eve," Ashmit shares. He connects his performance directly to the spirit of the festival, stating, "For me, the festival is about joy, togetherness, and creating memories — and I get to do that by bringing people together on the dance floor."
A Different Beat for the Holiday Season
While December is traditionally a time for vacations and family holidays, Ashmit Patel has a different perspective shaped by his new profession. "As DJs, we’re often working while others are vacationing, but I don’t feel like I’m missing out," he explains. For him, the work itself is the celebration.
"My work is my celebration. Making people dance and enjoy themselves during the holidays feels like the best gift I could give and receive," the actor and DJ concludes, highlighting the symbiotic joy between performer and audience. This Christmas Eve in Goa will not just be a performance, but a milestone in Ashmit Patel's journey from a secretive teen DJ to a public performer embracing his musical roots.
