Singer Rekha Bhardwaj performs at Bharat Mandapam and says, ‘Dilli dilwalon ki hai, main bhi Dilli se hoon'
Swirling like a dervish transposed to a musical land, popular singer Rekha Bhardwaj enchanted Delhi on Sunday evening. Her concert Jazbaa saw Bharat Mandapam's Plenary Hall filled to capacity as she performed soothing numbers such as Kabira (Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani; 2013) and Phir Le Aya Dil (Barfi!, 2012). Rekha Bhardwaj recently performed live in Delhi, at Bharat Mandapam (Pragati Maidan)'s Plenary Hall.(Photos: Shantanu Bhattacharya/HT) Mid-song, she paused and confessed, 'Dilli dilwalon ki hai, main bhi Dilli se hoon,' to a resounding round of applause. Each note of her performance elicited a 'waah' or 'kya baat hai' from members of the audience. In turn, the artiste said: 'Bahut badi nemat hai ki hum sab saath mein hain. Kuch ghante bina kisi soch ke ya stress ke sangeet mein guzaar sakte hain. Mujhe lagta hai yeh bahut badi blessing hai (It's a blessing that all of us are able to spend a few hours amid music, and away from any stress).' It wasn't just her mellifluous voice that enraptured the audience — the veteran singer's alta adorned hands, too, played a part. She said, 'This palm facing upwards is to receive from the existence, and the other palm facing downwards is to give back what we receive from existence. This evening is for everyone present here, or even (those not present) — the vibrations of music have a long reach.' For more, follow HT City Delhi Junction
