She was the first woman to enter my life, and to this day, she continues to be my mother, friend, and a caregiver to some extent, even today!
Despite being a housewife all her life, she possesses remarkably practical and sensible solutions to various situations, both personal and professional. Her simple yet effective solutions serve as my sounding board, although she often complains that I seldom follow her advice.
Growing up without a strong father figure, she filled multiple roles for me – she was my bouncing board, punching bag, and hug pillow, all rolled into one. Her unwavering confidence in me, even more than I have in myself, has played a crucial role in shaping my character and preparing me to face life’s challenges.
From a young age, she instilled in me the values of karma and dharma, which have helped me maintain a balance between work, life, and my spiritual pursuits. I owe it to her for guiding me in shaping my character and navigating through life’s complexities.
Without her, I wouldn’t exist or would have grown in the way I have. She is my cornerstone in every aspect of my life.
Acknowledging the fact that the music business landscape in India sees male domination at the top, I believe it’s crucial for top female professionals and artists to mentor younger women entering the industry. Their experience and guidance would be invaluable in fostering the growth and success of future generations.
