Durga further added, “It is not a coincidence that the Utsaah – Maha Utsav has come together in the week of my Bapuji and Guru Sangeet Martand Pandit Jasraj ji’s 91st birthday which falls on 28th January. It is truly his blessings. We are truly grateful to LIC for partnering with Utsaah. We are extremely thankful to all the Artistes who have participated so far and the music loving audience who call themselves Utsaah Parivaar for making Utsaah an emotional support for one another.”
Utsaah as a concept was conceived during the lockdown and started on March 22, 2020, not just as a run of the mill musical performance, but bring in the artists, and enable real-time interaction for the audiences, insta-live for chat and FB live for a performance, so that it would not only be engaging but allow the audiences to interact too. People at home could unwind beyond the normal and engage in something meaningful. Having completed over 225 episodes, Utsaah with a set of loyal followers has become a household name.
