It was an evening of soul-stirring melodies, spiritual connection, and celebrity sparkle as the Mumbai leg of Rishab Rikhiram Sharma’s India tour, Sitar for Mental Health, took center stage. With the majestic sound of the sitar echoing through the venue, guests were treated to more than just music — they experienced a movement.
A host of notable names including Mira Kapoor, Sanah Kapoor, Bhumi Pednekar, Samiksha Pednekar, Anil Ambani, and Tina Ambani were spotted soaking in the serene vibes of the performance. The show brought together an eclectic audience of nearly 5000-6000 attendees, ranging from ages 18 to 80, each united by a shared love for the healing power of music.
Rishab Rikhiram Sharma, a sitar prodigy and a disciple of the legendary Pandit Ravi Shankar, is redefining classical music’s place in contemporary culture. With Sitar for Mental Health, he’s on a mission to use Indian classical music as a tool for emotional wellbeing — and the impact is resonating deeply, especially with the Gen Z crowd.
The Mumbai audience connected not just with the technical brilliance of his performance, but also with its spiritual depth and meditative aura, a testament to how ancient art forms continue to evolve and remain relevant in modern times.
From calming the mind to stirring the soul, Sitar for Mental Health is more than a concert — it’s a cultural therapy session, and Rishab is leading it with heart, heritage, and harmony.
