Synopsis-
Besharam ( bay.shar.um ) in South Asian languages means Shameless and it is used in a

party night in North America called Besharam. People from all backgrounds, ages and sexual

orientations come and express their true selves without worrying about being judged. The

connecting element for the party goers is Bollywood music. Besharam has become synonymous

with freedom of identity for South Asians living in Toronto, as it influences their lives greatly.
