The devotional hit ‘Shambhu Re’ has propelled playback singer Amruta Fadnavis into the spotlight once again. Married to Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, she’s not just winning hearts with her voice but also making headlines for her steadfast commitment to music amid acting buzz.
Addressing queries on potential film forays, Amruta was straightforward: ‘Offers from the film industry keep coming, but I turn them down politely every time. Destiny charts our course, and acting isn’t part of mine. My soul belongs to music – it’s my natural gift, my ultimate expression. I thrive only in pursuits I’m wholly devoted to.’
She elaborated on her routine: ‘Music sustains me like oxygen. I can’t imagine life without it. Whether in the quiet of early morning or late evenings, I immerse in classical riyaz. These moments of swara sadhana are my lifeline.’
Launched on Valentine’s Day, ‘Shambhu Re’ boasts 9 lakh-plus views. Moti Sharma’s composition, Vinay Vaishnav’s poignant lyrics, and Rajiv Walia’s direction – filmed at 27 revered Shiva pilgrimage spots – create a mesmerizing tribute to the divine.
Amruta’s choice underscores a powerful message: in the face of stardom’s allure, authenticity in art prevails.
