Mumbai witnessed a magical blend of music and mindfulness last night as Rishab Rikhiram Sharma brought his much-talked-about Sitar for Mental Health concert to the city. Held at the iconic Mahalaxmi Racecourse on March 21, the evening wasn’t just about soul-stirring musical experience, but also about meaningful conversations around mental well-being.
Star-studded guest list
The concert turned into a glamorous gathering with several familiar faces from Bollywood in attendance. Deepika Padukone made a graceful appearance in a maroon and gold Anarkali, completed with statement earrings. Adding to the family moment, she was reportedly accompanied by her mother-in-law Anju Bhavnani and sister-in-law Ritika Bhavnani.
Actress Tara Sutaria also turned heads in a classic ivory saree paired with traditional jewellery, keeping her look timeless and refined. Meanwhile, Gauri Khan and Maheep Kapoor opted for elegant ethnic kurtas, adding to the evening’s sophisticated vibe.
More about his concert with a cause
Beyond the star-studded guest list, the heart of the evening lay in its purpose. Sitar for Mental Health is part of Sharma’s larger initiative to spark dialogue around emotional well-being through music. The Mumbai concert marked the second stop of his India tour, following a successful show in Bengaluru that saw a massive turnout.
The tour will further continue to cities like Pune, Hyderabad, Jaipur, Chennai, Ahmedabad, Chandigarh, Kolkata and Delhi, blending classical music and meaningful messages.
