03:01Sir, can you tell us about your classical music journey?
03:05Can you tell us about your classical music journey?
03:07My journey?
03:08Yes.
03:09I am a resident of Uttar Pradesh.
03:11There is a district called Deoria in Uttar Pradesh.
03:13I am a resident of that village.
03:15We did not have music in our house.
03:17So my uncle encouraged me to do this.
03:21And I sent my first guru Pandit Thakur Chaubey in Deoria.
03:26Then I went to Benaras in Bhechu.
03:30There I learnt music from Pandit Ajit Bhattacharya and Ashaar-e-Nandan.
03:36They were the disciples of Pandit Omkarnath Ji.
03:40Omkarnath Ji was from Gujarat.
03:42He was from Surat.
03:43He was a musician.
03:44So I was his disciple.
03:46And then I learnt Punjabi singing from Pandit Kundanlal.
03:53And my last guru was Pandit Bhimsen Joshi.
03:56I came to Pune and learnt from him.
04:00This is how my journey started.

04:17In our house?
04:18Yes.
