Pandit Vishwa Mohan Bhatt, Ruslan Sirota collaborate with Kshitij Tarey for album ‘Classical Crossover’

Grammy Awards winners Pandit Vishwa Mohan Bhatt and Ruslan Sirota have collaborated with singer Kshitij Tarey for an international album titled ‘Classical Crossover’. The album is a fusion music project with an amalgamation of different genres of music and will be releasing one track every month starting in March.

The first song ‘More Ghar Aye- Classical Funk’ has hit the airwaves. ‘More Ghar Aye- Classical Funk’ features a collaboration between Kshitij and international bassist Camille Frillex. The USP of the album is the meeting of two completely different genres of Indian and Western music that come together to create a beautiful musical piece.

The track is a fusion of Indian Classical singing along with Funk and it captures the true essence of the album.

Commenting on ‘Classical Crossover’ and its first track, Kshitij said, “‘Classical Crossover’ is a dream project for me. I have admired the work of these Grammy award-winning musicians for a long time, and getting to collaborate with such legends on this album was an absolute honor. The first song is in the classical Bandish format and it’s the very peppy and upbeat track. Camille Frillex from Paris features in the video and has also played the bass guitar for the same. The music video of the same is directed by Vikrant Kirar.”

The album includes genres such as Classical, Jazz, Funk, Thumri, and EDM.

Commenting on her collaboration with Kshitij, Camille Frillex said, “I loved the composition, the harmony, the groove, everything was matching perfectly with my musical tastes and influences. His music inspired me a lot. ‘More Ghar Aye’ is a mix of different cultures, its aesthetic is like a journey into Afro-American beats with an Indian touch. It is dynamic, full of color and energy.”

‘More Ghar Aye- Classical Funk’ is available to stream on Kshitij Tarey’s official Youtube channel and other leading platforms under the label Strumm Music.

Anushka Sharma has a funny reaction on being called ‘Mrs Kohli’

Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma, who was seen attending an event here, had a hilarious reaction when she was referred to as ‘Mrs. Kohli’ by the paparazzi.

A video shared by a celebrity paparazzi shows Anushka looking stunning in a black dress. As soon as she stepped on the red carpet, the photographers started referring to her as ‘Mrs. Kohli’ and kept screaming for her to look at the camera.

Hearing this, Anushka laughed and was heard saying: “Relax! Why are you all shouting? Wait! Mere kaan… I have not recovered from the shouting from yesterday.”

The photographers said that they missed her clicking her at events, and she replied ‘mere kaan bajj rahe hai.”

Recently, Anushka and her cricketer husband Virat Kohli decided to merge their respective foundations – Anushka Sharma Foundation and Virat Kohli Foundation – to launch a joint non-profit initiative aimed at helping those in need.

Anushka will next be seen in ‘Chakda Xpress’. The Netflix film, which is based on the life and times of one of the fastest female pacers in the history of world cricket, Jhulan, will showcase how the pacer moves up the ladder despite countless hindrances to fulfil her only dream — to play cricket.

Jhulan went on to captain the Indian women’s national cricket team and is a role model for aspiring cricketers in the country. In 2018, an Indian postage stamp was issued in her honor. Jhulan holds the world record for the highest number of wickets taken by a woman in an international career.

Most of my films, maximum of my songs, the audience has given so much love, from ‘Jism 2’, ‘Yaariyan’, ‘Teri Mitti’, ‘O Desh Mere’ and now ‘Kora Sa Chehra’, and most of it is soulful music.”

He further mentioned: “So, my fans, well-wishers, and the audience have associated me with soulful, romantic, emotional, and patriotic music.

Pragya Jaiswal explores landscapes of Finland, calls it a ‘magical experience’

Actress Pragya Jaiswal, who has worked in several Telugu and Hindi films, recently took some time off from her busy schedule and embarked on a vacation to Finland. The actress explored the beautiful landscapes of the Scandinavian country and shared her experience.

Pragya said: “Travelling to Finland was the most magical experience I ever had. Initially, I was a little scared because I have never been to any place which was this cold, and what I had heard about Finland was that the temperature goes down to -25/-30 degrees celsius which was a little scary. I am so glad when we actually went there we got really comfortable with the weather and after the initial few days we started enjoying the cold.”

Pragya has all the fun over there and she enjoyed every bit of this journey by visiting different places and engaging herself in fun activities. “We ended up doing a lot of really fun activities like husky riding, skiing, etc which were highly adventurous. The views were spectacular, it was truly a winter wonderland. We also went on a really steep trek where we saw a frozen waterfall and canyon. The challenge was to walk down all the way into the snow while it was snowing and again walk back up. We also rode snowmobiles which was a great adrenaline rush,” she added.

She shared further about a snow hotel where everything was made out of snow, there was an ice bar and even a restaurant made out of snow. There was a church which was also made with snow and so many bedrooms with unique architecture.”I went to a sauna which was super hot and I came out to a frozen lake. They dig a hole in the frozen lake and you can dip in the ice water which is known as ice swimming. It’s a good activity which is really helpful to heal your body,” she added.

Lastly, she recounted seeing the Northern lights and said: “The cherry on the cake and my favorite part of the trip were the northern lights which we got to witness for two nights consecutively. We were so lucky that we went at such a great time that the Northern lights were in full form. There were so many colors dancing for us on both nights. It was such a beautiful experience that left me emotional and extremely fulfilled. It was such a magical time in Finland. I’ve come back rejuvenated. I am also glad we faced all the challenges boldly and made an amazing experience out of it.”

May he rest in peace.”
