00:00I have been learning sarod from my father, my guru, Mr. Damjali Khan.

00:05I have been playing sarod since I was 12-13 years old.

00:12So, I am trying.

00:14Sir, your father is also a sarod player.

00:17You must have learnt from him.

00:19When did you start playing sarod?

00:21No, no.

00:22In my family, there was an atmosphere that if you are in the middle of the sea,

00:25you will have to swim.

00:27So, when I was born, I came to know that sarod is everywhere.

00:30And it was very clear when I was a child,

00:32when I didn't practice, my father used to talk less.

00:34So, I understood that if I practice, I will get more love.

00:37So, I just started practicing and when the sarod started playing,

00:41when the sarod accepted me.

00:44See, what happens is that you accept the instrument, that is one thing.

00:47But the fun comes when the instrument accepts you.

00:50So, then a new story begins.

00:52So, we always pray to God,

00:54May God accept your instrument.

00:58In the world of music, there are many such instruments.

01:02You accepted the sarod, the sarod accepted you.

01:05Are there any other instruments like this?

01:07Brother, there were 25-30 sarods in the house,

01:09so there was no other instrument.

01:11So, I just picked it up.

01:13And I think my father was happy that I played the sarod.

01:15So, I played the sarod.

01:17Sir, till date, what all have you played?

01:20How did you play the sarod?

01:22So, the first raag that I played was Shudh Gauri.

01:26So, as a prayer, I just prayed to Manju aunty,

01:31and kept Ustad Zakir Hussain in mind.

01:34And after that, I played Lalita Gauri.

01:36Then I played Raag Desh,

01:38in which I played some bandishes of my father

01:40and a couple of bandishes of my grandfather.

01:42And with me was Tabla Peshaan Ghoshbhai.

01:44He was a very good tabla player.

01:47He is a very good artist.

01:49And I wish him also the very best.

01:51Sir, you are a young artist.

01:54How do you see Shastriya Sangeet today?

01:57It is very good.

01:59Earlier, Shastriya Sangeet used to be in a small room.

02:02Today, 5,000-10,000 people sit and listen to it.

02:05So, the future is very good.

02:08I always request everyone that

02:10whenever you interview someone in any field,

02:13do it with a person who is a little positive.

02:15If I don't get any program,

02:17and you ask me questions,

02:19then I will do a lot of harm to the industry.

02:21So, where is a person?

02:23An actor who has 10 films, will praise them.

02:25A person who has just come out of the theatre,

02:27will do a lot of harm.

02:29So, I think the future is very good.

02:31Today, all the youngsters, classical music,

02:33you see how many people have come.

02:35So, I think the future of classical music is very good.

02:38There is a little vacuum.

02:40It comes in every field.

02:42But it will be fine.

02:44Don't you like Shastriya Sangeet?

02:47I like it.
