Under a velvet sky strewn with stars, music and mysticism entwined at Bonne Foi 65 in East of Kailash, where celebrated Sufi songstress Heer Walia delivered a transcendent live performance that left Delhi breathless.

Eminent singer from the Sufi world, Heer Walia, performing under the stars at Bonne Foi 65, East of Kailash

The rooftop oasis, already renowned for its chic ambiance and gourmet offerings, transformed into a sanctum of sound and spirit this past Saturday night. As the city’s skyline shimmered in the distance, Walia’s haunting vocals soared above the din of daily life, weaving together the poetry of Bulleh Shah, the ecstasy of Amir Khusrau, and her own hypnotic interpretations of folk traditions passed down through generations.

Every verse was a prayer, every note a thread in a rich tapestry of emotion that held the audience captive. From her first breath to the final chord, Walia didn’t just perform-she invoked. The crowd-an eclectic mix of date-night duos, music connoisseurs, curious foodies, and spiritual seekers-sat spellbound, swaying in rhythm, many mouthing lyrics, some with closed eyes and hearts wide open.

“I came for dinner and stayed for divinity,” said Ananya Mehta, echoing the sentiments of many who left the evening transformed. “It felt less like a concert and more like a communion.”

The venue rose to the occasion with grace. Dimmed, golden lighting cast a warm glow across elegant tables adorned with Mediterranean platters, Indian-fusion masterpieces, and desserts decadent enough to tempt the most disciplined. Signature cocktails-infused with herbs, spices, and a touch of alchemy-flowed as effortlessly as the music.

Speaking on the recent Sufi night featuring Heer Walia, Amit Bishnoi, Co-Founder and Creative Director of Club Bonne Foi 65, said, “Our vision has always been to create a space where culture thrives and connections deepen. Heer Walia’s performance brought that vision to life-it was pure magic.”

Avnee Yadav, Co-Founder and Experience Curator at Bonne Foi 65, added, “To see people come together, not just to dine but to feel something deeper through music, is what Bonne Foi is all about. Nights like these remind us why we started this journey-to celebrate art, soul, and togetherness.”

As Walia closed her set to a standing ovation and resounding calls for an encore, the air seemed to hum with more than applause-it carried gratitude, reverence, and the unmistakable magic of a shared moment that won’t soon be forgotten.

For those who missed it, Bonne Foi 65 assures that more evenings of enchantment await-where food meets feeling, and melodies linger long after the final note fades.

About Bonne Foi 65

Nestled in the heart of East of Kailash, Club Bonne Foi 65 is South Delhi’s premier rooftop dining and cultural destination.

Parimatch Sports, a high-quality sportswear brand inspired by the world’s top athletes, continues its exclusive Inside the Game series. The latest episode explores the world of cricket, featuring two outstanding athletes-Sachin Baby, who led Kerala to their first-ever Ranji Trophy final in 2024, and Taniyaa Bhatia, whose Delhi Capitals reached the WPL final in 2025.

10 Things You Didn’t Know About Sachin Baby: Powered by Parimatch Sports

While cricket fans know Sachin for his composed presence at the crease and his pivotal role in leading Kerala to the historic Ranji final, Inside the Game offers an even deeper look into the man behind the jersey.

From his early sporting roots to the mindset that drives his success, Parimatch Sports uncovered 10 things you probably didn’t know about Sachin Baby. Here they are:

1. Sachin Baby Was Almost a Professional Footballer

Before cricket took over, Sachin’s primary sport was football – and he wasn’t just kicking around for fun. He went through formal trials and was selected for his district team. Though he ultimately chose cricket, he admits the football path could have been just as real. Looking back, he sees the switch as more than coincidence: “Maybe it was because of my name,” he joked. Cricket called-and he answered.

2. His Hidden Talent Sachin Can Sing

Cricket isn’t his only rhythm. Sachin shared that he’s actually quite good at singing – something most of his teammates don’t know. While he’s more likely to perform with the bat than a mic, it’s one of those off-field skills that reminds you: there’s more to every player than the scorecard.

3. The Song That Powers His Game Comes from Baahubali

Everyone has a pre-game ritual. For Sachin, it’s music-specifically, a powerful track from the Baahubali soundtrack in Malayalam, sung by his friend Madhu Balashan. He listens to it every single day before heading out to play. The song reflects his inner battles and uplifts him in moments of doubt. It’s not just motivational-it’s personal.

4. He Once Shared the Screen – and the Chant – with Sachin Tendulkar

In a match between RCB and Mumbai Indians, Sachin was on a roll, hitting both a six and a four off Kieron Pollard. What happened next felt unreal: the entire crowd at Chinnaswamy Stadium broke into the iconic “Sachin! Sachin!” chant. Then the big screen flashed-showing Sachin Baby’s photo alongside Sachin Tendulkar. It was a moment of shared names, shared spotlight, and lasting impact.

5. The Best Advice He’s Ever Received Be a Leveler

According to Sachin, the most meaningful guidance he’s had from mentors is to focus on the process, not the outcome-and to stay grounded. “Be a leveler,” he says. In a game that lifts you one day and humbles you the next, staying balanced is key. Perform or fail, never fly too high or sink too low.

6. He Believes Cricket Needs Fewer Rules, Not More

When asked what rule he’d add to the game, Sachin flipped the question: he’d remove one. His pick The Impact Player rule. While acknowledging its benefits, he feels it tilts the balance unfairly against bowlers. Cricket, he believes, should let every player fight for their space on equal footing, without too much interference.

7. His Cheat Meals Are All About Kerala Flavour

Strict training routines usually leave little room for indulgence-but Sachin admits that when he’s home in Kerala, staying on a diet is nearly impossible. Surrounded by rich regional cuisine, he lets himself enjoy grilled chicken, fish, and the occasional full plate-in moderation, of course.

8. He’d Bring Suresh Raina Back to the Game

If he could bring one retired legend back to modern cricket, Sachin wouldn’t hesitate: Suresh Raina. As a youngster, Sachin copied Raina’s batting and admired his fielding versatility.

9. What Does Being a Champion Mean to Sachin

For Sachin, being a champion is about much more than just winning titles. It’s about never giving up, taking responsibility, and leading by example. True champions stay calm under pressure, inspire others, and stay committed to their craft through hard work and determination. It’s the mindset of pushing through adversity and constantly evolving.

10. Sachin’s Advice to Young Players Be Ready for Your Moment

Sachin shared valuable advice for up-and-coming players: “Don’t chase fast success.” He believes the journey is long-full of ups and downs-and you need to be patient. But once your moment arrives, you must be prepared. Believe in the process, stay disciplined, and be ready to receive what you’ve worked for.

Wrapping Up

From unexpected beginnings to grounded philosophies, Inside the Game gave fans a new perspective on Sachin Baby-not just as a player, but as a person. Watch the latest episode now on the Parimatch Sports YouTube channel to enjoy the full action.

At the heart of our vision lies the philosophy of whole-person development. From rigorous academic modules to a world-class infrastructure for sports and performing arts, every aspect of our school is meticulously-planned to nurture India’s young potential for a global future,” remarks Dominic Tomalin, the Founding Headmaster at Shrewsbury.

“Our admissions outreach has spanned over 40 cities across India and internationally, with our team traveling almost every month to engage with prospective families. Alongside strong domestic interest, we have also received considerable attention from regions such as the UAE, Nepal, and Bangladesh,” notes Mr. Abhishek Mohan Gupta.

Highlighting the unique features of the school’s co and extra-curricular programmes, Oliver Russell, the Deputy Head of School and Strategy Development, says, “Inspired by the rich sporting legacy of its parent institution, Shrewsbury International School India offers state-of-the-art facilities for over 20 indoor and outdoor sports, introducing the country to dedicated training spaces for specialised disciplines such as Indoor Rowing, Scuba Diving, and Fencing. Equally vibrant is the school’s Performing Arts programme, through which students will pursue diplomas in Music and Drama from Trinity College London – marking the only international collaboration for Performing Arts in Central India.”

The school is conducting the Shrewsbury India Leadership Programme next month, an immersive 8-day-residential programme featuring hands-on workshops and activities for students in skilful domains such as creative writing, storytelling, public speaking, sports and more.
