In this conversation, she shares the highs, lows, and everything that shaped her into the artist people adore today.We talk about her humble beginnings, the loss of her mother at a young age, her father’s resistance to her singing, and how her passion slowly turned into acceptance and support. She opens up about how Navratri became such a big part of her identity, the challenges of performing live, and why she believes folk music continues to hold such a deep connection with people. In the last segment, Falguni reflects on the changes she’s seen in three decades of Navratri, her rituals before and after shows, her dream of owning an aircraft and a yacht, and how she truly wants to be remembered. She also talks about the simplicity of folk songs, her relationship with the Gujarati diaspora abroad, and why she has never planned her life but instead embraced whatever came her way.Subscribe for more such conversations!Follow Falguni Pathak Here:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/falgunipathak12/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FalguniPathakNavratri⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠About Raj ShamaniRaj Shamani is an Entrepreneur at heart that explains his expertise in Business Content Creation & Public Speaking.
