In an exclusive conversation with CNN- Showsha’s Yatamanyu Narain, sitar maestro Niladri Kumar takes us through his journey—his early struggles to break free from traditional expectations, the moment he realized he needed to create the ‘Zitar’, composing songs for the critically acclaimed film Laila Majnu, and his thoughts on the ever-changing landscape of Indian music. He also got candid about the current generations of sitarists and whether they have it in them to carry the instrument’s legacy forward. As he prepares to take the stage at Lollapalooza 2025, he gives us a glimpse into what’s in store, his philosophy on fusion, and why spontaneity is at the heart of his art. bollywood news | entertainment news live | latest bollywood news | bollywood | news18 | n18oc_moviesLiked the video?
