00:00I am Vishwamohan Bhatt, I am missing Manju sister a lot. Namaskar.
00:06Vishwamohan ji, you have been an Indian singer for a long time.
00:14Yes.
00:15In this modern time, what kind of change do you see?
00:18How much enthusiasm is there among the youth?
00:20What kind of interest do you see in the people?
00:25Your question is, what is the future of music?
00:29How will we move forward?
00:33And how will the youth accept it?
00:37This question has been going on for a long time, I think.
00:41With time, everything is going well.
00:44We see that very good talents are coming in front of us.
00:48Very good young artists are coming.
00:51And along with that, the family tradition of the artists is also going on.
00:59Like my son, Salil, he is going to play with me.
01:04He is going to present Satvik Veena Wadan.
01:06I will have a Jugalbandi with Mohan Veena.
01:09So, the second generation and the third generation are also coming together.
01:16And generation by generation, this classical music is being transferred.
01:21It is being maintained.
01:23Generation by generation and student by student.
01:26Many students are getting ready in our lives.
01:30They want to see and learn that we should also become like them.
01:34So, we give them as much blessings as possible.
01:37And we work hard with them.
01:39We teach them the details.
01:41The younger generation is very talented.
01:45There were not so many resources in our time.
01:48In today's time, many resources have come to them.
01:52Looking at all of them, I feel that the future of classical music is very secure.
02:02Yes, absolutely.
02:07This year's festival means a lot to us.
02:12Because this year, the festival is dedicated to Manju ji.
02:18And it is very sad for us that she suddenly and unexpectedly left us.
02:26And this year is a year full of sadness.
02:30Because Ustad Zakir Hussain, who we could not even imagine,
02:33that there will be a world where Zakir Hussain is not there.
02:36But this is the law of the universe.
02:40So, this year, we have come to serve him.
02:44To pay tribute to him, to remember him.
02:47We will try to do as much as we can through music.
02:51And the audience of Saptak is in our hearts.
02:56And every year we wait for the beginning of the year.
03:00This year is a bit special because I got the opportunity on the first day.
03:03So, the year has begun well for me.
03:05So, I hope the people will enjoy the performance.
03:39I have been associated with Saptak since childhood.
03:42And Vidushi Manju Mehta ji and Pandit Nandan Mehta ji,
03:47who were the two pillars of Saptak.
03:50And apart from that, a lot of people left the Saptak family.
03:54Bharti Bhai, who was also a part of the Saptak family.
03:59So, this is the first time in 45 years,
04:01that this is happening without Pandit Nandan Mehta ji,
04:04without Vidushi Manju Mehta ji.
04:07And as far as I am concerned,
04:10I am telling you proudly here,
04:13in all the countries of the world,
04:16that my name, Salil,
04:19has been given by Vidushi Manju Mehta ji, my aunt.
04:23The name of my house is also given by him.
04:26Today, if he is not among us,
04:32but I think that is why I have taken him here.
04:35I had a special attachment with him.
04:37He had a special attachment with me.
04:40In Saptak, our family has been associated since the time it was formed.
04:47We have been associated since before that.
04:49And my grandfather, Swargiya Pandit Manmohan Bhatt ji,
04:53my father, my guru, Pandit Vishwa Mohan Bhatt ji,
04:56after him, me.
04:58And this is how our generations,
