Actors Celebrate World Music Day By Sharing How Music Heals And Inspires Them!

Every year on June 21, the world comes together to celebrate International Music Day, more popularly known as World Music Day-a day dedicated to honouring the universal language of music. This year's theme, "Healing Through Harmony," shines a spotlight on music's incredible ability to soothe the soul, uplift the spirit, and foster emotional connection. To mark this special occasion, &TV artists open up about their relationships with music, revealing the ways it fuels their creativity and nurtures their inner world. They also share how music has become an essential part of their emotional well-being and personal expression. These include Geetanjali Mishra (Rajesh, Happu Ki Ultan Paltan) and Vipin Heero (Malkhan, Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai). Geetanjali Mishra, who portrays Rajesh in Happu Ki Ultan Paltan, shares, "Very few people know this, but I have learnt to play the sitar. It has been one of the most enriching and transformative experiences of my life. I have always felt a deep connection to classical music, and the sound of the sitar has a calming, almost meditative quality that resonated with me from the beginning. A few years ago, I finally decided to pursue it seriously. The process of learning was anything but easy. The discipline, the posture, the patience required, but over time, I developed a bond with the instrument that went far beyond technical. Today, the sitar is my sanctuary. I often turn to it in the quiet moments of the morning or the stillness of the evening. In those sessions, I find not just peace, but a deep sense of clarity. The sitar gives voice to emotions I cannot articulate and has become my form of meditation. Lately, I have been blending classical ragas with modern sounds, which are creatively fulfilling and spiritually grounding. For me, the sitar is far more than a musical instrument; it reflects my inner self and a true source of healing."

Vipin Heero, who essays Malkhan in Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai, shares, "Music, much like acting and writing, has always been an inseparable part of who I am. It fuels my imagination and keeps my creative energy alive. A few years ago, I picked up the guitar and something shifted within me. In the beginning, learning the chords and mastering the rhythm was challenging, but once I found my flow, I was completely hooked. The guitar quickly became my constant companion through all kinds of emotions-joy, nostalgia, solitude, and stress. Whenever I feel low or simply need to decompress after a long day, I turn to my guitar. It never fails to lift my spirits. It is also the life of our house parties; I love how music brings people together so effortlessly. Songwriting and composing have always been close to my heart. During my college and theatre days, I would often perform my original songs, and I still try to keep that tradition alive whenever I get the chance. For me, the guitar is more than just an instrument; it is therapy, it is release, and it is joy in its purest form."
