Shekhar Ravjiani is one of the most popular singers and music directors of Bollywood, who has lent his voice to songs like Besharam Rang, Jhoome Jo Pathan, The Hook Up Song, Zehnaseeb, Ishq Wala Love and many more. Recently, he revealed that he lost his voice two years ago due to left vocal cord paresis and went through a tough phase until he bounced back with the help of an ‘angel’.
Shekhar Ravjiani shared a series of graphic images on his Instagram handle, sharing an unknown incident of how he lost his voice two years ago and how a doctor diagnosed the condition as Left Vocal Cord Paresis . Since he was a singer by profession, his voice was the most important part of his life, and the situation made him feel ‘destroyed’.
To keep an eye:
The challenging times and his inability to sing led to a cycle of negative thoughts in his mind as he felt that he would never be able to sing again. Given his condition, his family was impressed and worried for the music director. When Ravjiani found no other way, he prayed and kept trying to succeed and get his voice back.
During the episode, he visited San Diego and met Jeremy, who introduced him to an angel – Dr. Erin Walsh. Describing her role in his recovery journey, Shekhar wrote, “I remember my tears were flowing uncontrollably when I told her that I wanted to be able to sing again. I begged her That please do something. The first thing he said to me was that I should sing.” I don’t blame myself for what happened to my voice. We talked at length and he made me feel comfortable and eventually, he miraculously convinced me that I could sing. But every time I tried it became crooked and she started hating my voice…but she persevered and kept working on my voice and my soul.”
Gradually, with dedication and positivity, he was able to get his larynx back to normal and sing better than before. He credited them for being angels and advised his followers to lean towards positivity in life.
The Ishq Wala Love singer’s post soon went viral, and many from the industry and fans shared their thoughts and appreciation in the comments section. Filmmaker Farah Khan, who worked with him and his composer and partner Vishal Dadlani on the Shah Rukh Khan starrer Om Shanti Om, revealed how she was unaware about it and wrote, “Oh my God, I even knew Wasn’t.” This…wow.”
Take a look at the comments:
Vishal, on the other hand, spoke about how he saw his partner and close friend Shekhar going through a tough phase and mentioned that the singer inspired him.
On the work front, Shekhar released his new song ‘Baat Itni Si’ with co-singers Pratibha Singh Baghel and Madhubanti Bagchi a week ago.
