Anoushka Shankar drops ‘Chapter III: We return to light’, celebrating 30 years in music
The album's first two singles, 'Hiraeth' and 'We Burn So Brightly', have already set the tone for what promises to be an extraordinary musical journey.
Playback singer Abhijeet Bhattacharya, who once was the voice of Bollywood icon Shah Rukh Khan in film music, is back to doing what he does best: stirring up controversies, and this time, the singer is on the radar for his comments on Mahatma Gandhi, who is known as one of the founding fathers of independent India.
Abhijeet Bhattacharya told Shubhankar Mishra on his podcast, “Music composer RD Burman was bigger than Mahatma Gandhi. Like Mahatma Gandhi was the father of the nation, R. D. Burman was the father of the nation in the world of music”.

If this wasn’t enough, the singer went on to launch a more scathing attack on Gandhi as he called him the father of nation for Pakistan.
