Pathak's albums, like "Yaad Piya ki Aane Lagi" and "Maine Paayal Hai Chhankayi," revolutionized Indian music in the late '90s Reflecting on her initial success, she recalls the joy of watching her songs captivate audiences overnight. While she cherishes past achievements, Pathak acknowledges the evolving music landscape, yearning for the innocence that once characterized songs
Despite global acclaim, Pathak remains media-shy "I've always been more of a performer than a communicator," she admits, valuing genuine connections over publicity. Her upbringing, steeped in a household where music was omnipresent, cultivated a lifelong passion. "Music was never a chore; it was a passion," she affirms For brands eager to engage with this vibrant demographic, partnering with hi INDiA Live Entertainment offers unparalleled opportunities.
