Imagine if he hadn’t been trained in classical music since childhood, what if he and his family had considered singing as a hobby and not something that needed investment in terms of training and time. In an interview, his wife Sangeeta Mahadevan mentioned that just six or seven months before their marriage Shankar quit his job to pursue “his passion”. While trained in classical music since childhood, Mahadevan studied to become a software programmer and even briefly went to work for the software industry before leaving it to answer his true calling. It is interesting to know that we very narrowly missed all of Shankar Mahadevan’s voice and all of his wonderful music. Their most recent success has been Bhaag Milkha Bhaag He needs no introduction as all of you have grown up on his songs, from his most popular number of the initial days, Breathless (album), more classical renditions like Albela Sajan (Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam), funky Pretty Woman (Kal Ho Na Ho) to his metamorphosis as a music director-composer along with his buddies Ehsaan and Loy. These are perhaps a few adjectives that come to mind when one thinks of music director-composer-singer Shankar Mahadevan.
Enthralling, spellbinding, fabulous, melodious.
