Was Rishabh Sharma really a disciple of Ravi Shankar, daughter Anushka raised questions; Know what is the whole controversy?

Rishab Rikhiram Sharma Fires Back at Anoushka Shankar : Rishabh Rikhiram Sharma is famous all over the world as a sitar player. He considers himself the youngest and last disciple of sitar maestro Pandit Ravi Shankar. However, Anushka Shankar, daughter of the late sitar player, has rejected his claim. He has even issued an official statement regarding this. Music producer Rishabh Rikhiram Sharma has created a distinct identity for himself in the world of music. He is known for performing a solo set at the White House and playing the sitar for the first time. He reflects the classical tradition.

Rishabh Rikhiram Sharma was not a disciple of Ravi Shankar

Rishabh Rikhiram Sharma has always said in interviews that his interaction with Ravi Shankar paved the way for him in the world of music. However, Anushka clarified that he was never her father’s disciple. He said that even though he is very talented. But he took only a few informal classes with Ravi Shankar and received most of his training from Parimal Sadaphal, one of the maestro’s senior disciples.

Statement of Rishabh Rikhiram Sharma

Rishabh Rikhiram Sharma said in his statement that Pandit Ravi Shankar himself had personally tested his talent in 2012. He gave him detailed classes and officially accepted him as his disciple through the traditional Ganda Bandhan ceremony. He further said that Ustad had later introduced him as his youngest disciple during a concert. Which he considers as proof of teacher-student relationship. Rishabh also said that after the death of Ravi Shankar, his further training continued with his senior disciple Pandit Parimal Sadaphal.

Let us tell you that on 10 February 2012, at the Jai Rikhi Ram Vadya Parampara event, Pandit Ravi Shankar, in the presence of Sukanya Shankar and members of the Sharma family, called 13-year-old Rishabh Rikhiram Sharma as his youngest disciple. That was Panditji’s last public appearance in India. Following Pandit Ravi Shankar’s passing in December 2012, Rishabh was also invited by Sukanya Shankar to the maestro’s memorial gathering at Nehru Park on 10 March 2013.

What did Anushka Sharma say?

Anushka told Humans of Bombay that – Rishabh is really very talented. I think there is some misunderstanding about him being a guru. He took lessons from Parimal Sadaphal, one of my father’s senior disciples. He took only a few lessons with my father. That too very informally, in which Parimal uncle was also in the room. We knew him since childhood, because he was the son of our instrument maker Sanjay Rikiram Sharma. So how did it come about that he was his last disciple or his youngest disciple, which is not true at all. But he is super talented. He deserves every success, but without this story.
