Sadhana Sargam, multilingual maestro and ‘Sadhana of Song,’ has woven magic in scores of tracks that still mesmerize. Her cross-language prowess is unmatched, but a nerve-wracking London concert early on tested her mettle like never before.
Amid Kalyanji-Anandji’s show with Amitabh Bachchan, Sadhana drew the short straw: a sophisticated classical from ‘Imaan Dharam.’ Fans went berserk for Big B, arena shaking. ‘Pure panic—a intricate piece before this crowd,’ she admitted in reflection.
Bachchan’s endorsement and mentors’ backing steadied her. Launching into it, the composition’s poise won over skeptics; applause boomed affirmatively. ‘It proved our classics hold firm anywhere,’ she beamed, a lesson in resilience that propelled her forward.
Celebrating March 7, Sadhana espouses music as therapy—easing tensions, promoting growth. Her journey from jitters to icon inspires, a testament to passion’s triumph.
