In the field of singing, poetry, writing / literature, I will always make sincere efforts and responsibility to give some important and thoughtful message to people and not just as entertainment.

2. How did you rise up to your position and how can a student aspiring the same, approach it? Tell us more about the journey?

All the areas where I work are from my childhood or from my family. I have accepted the responsibilities given to me by my grandparents and are carrying out my best efforts. Madam Patankar, the music teacher of my school, has played a big role in this...I am here today because they worked hard to bring every quality in me to the right place.Those who want to work in many or any of these fields need to recognize that quality in them in time and work on it .

3. What have been some of your biggest challenges and learnings from what you do? 

The art that came to me from my home reached me but my grandfather or father could never make it financially viable. My Confidence grew and today he completely supports me. In my journey , many narrow-minded and jealous people tried to pull me back and drag me down but I did my job without fearing him and what is today is in front of you .

4. What did you do in your current role that makes you feel really proud of yourself? 

From my writings and Shahiri, Powade inspires many people to think. I have seen many examples of this. I have also received awards like 'Yuvaratna' Shahir Karnala, National Icon for my work in the field of art.

5. What's your message to encourage students to do internships and attend conferences? 

Attend conferences , meet new people of your field, share thoughts, have a discussion. Its so much of fun . We should use our art, our knowledge not only for ourselves but also for giving something to others. Crisis, challenges will come many times but we should accept the challenge without hesitation.
