Arham Khan is a promising young Sarangi Player carrying forward one of the most revered legacies in Indian classical music.

He is the grandson of the legendary Sarangi Samrat Ustad Sabri Khan Sahib, a towering figure who took the sarangi to the global stage and transformed its presence in both classical and world music.

Born into the prestigious Moradabad Gharana, Arham represents the newest generation of a lineage that has preserved and enriched the sarangi tradition for over four centuries.

Arham Khan is the son of Ustad Ayyub Khan, himself a dedicated Sarangi Player, and the nephew of Sarangi Sultan Ustad Kamal Sabri, an internationally acclaimed maestro known for his innovative approach, global collaborations, and deep commitment to keeping the sarangi relevant in contemporary musical discourse.

Growing up in such an extraordinary musical environment, Arham was naturally immersed in the rich soundscape of raga, tala, and nuanced improvisation from an early age.

Under the guidance of his elders and inspired by the monumental achievements of his grandfather and uncle, Arham has begun shaping his own musical identity while remaining deeply rooted in classical discipline.

His playing reflects sensitivity, maturity, and a sincere understanding of the sarangi’s emotional depth — qualities that are hallmarks of the Sabri family tradition.

Even at a young stage in his journey, his performances reveal a balance of reverence for tradition and curiosity for exploration.

Arham Khan stands as a symbol of continuity and hope for the future of the sarangi. As he progresses under the blessings and mentorship of his distinguished family, he carries not only an illustrious name but also a responsibility to uphold and advance one of India’s most soulful musical heritages for generations to come !

The programme was accompanied by a musical tribute titled “Santwani & LATA HRYDAY – In Reverence to Lata Didi,” convened by Manisha Nischals Mehak Concerts.

Organised in association with Deenanath Mangeshkar Hospital & Research Center, the ceremony paid homage not only to the legendary voice that defined generations of Indian music, but also to the spirit of service that Lata Mangeshkar championed throughout her life.

The medical award recognised distinguished doctors and healthcare professionals whose dedication to patient care reflected those same humanitarian ideals.

This year, the Foundation presented its first Bharat Ratna Lata Dinanath Mangeshkar Vaidyakratna Award to Dr. (Prof.) S. Rajshekaran, Chairman, GANGA Hospital, Coimbatore.

Where Music Met Medicine

Instituted to celebrate excellence in healthcare, the Lata Mangeshkar Medical Award extended the Mangeshkar family’s legacy beyond the world of music and into the realm of healing. The honour recognised doctors whose service, skill, and empathy had made a meaningful difference to countless lives.

A Soulful Musical Tribute to Lata Didi

The cultural highlight of the evening was Santwani & Lata Hryday, a devotional and classical musical tribute inspired by the spiritual depth and emotional resonance of the poetry of Sant Dnyaneshwar, Sant Surdas, Sant Kabir, Sant Tukaram, and Sant Meerabai, as rendered through Lata Mangeshkar’s musical journey.

The segment featured performances by Pandit Hridaynath Mangeshkar, Pt. Shankar Abhyankar, and singers Vibhavari Joshi, Manisha Nischal, Shreyasi Pavgi, Rutuja, and Prachi, alongside other distinguished artistes.

Speaking about the tribute, Pandit Hridaynath Mangeshkar said:

“Music was Didi’s prayer, her offering to the world. Through Swarajali, we remembered not just her voice, but her devotion, discipline, and the purity with which she approached every note.”

Reflecting on the emotional significance of the evening, Usha Mangeshkar shared:

“For us, Didi was not only a musical legend but a guiding light in compassion and humility. She always believed that true success lies in giving back. Seeing her name associated with healing and hope through this medical award would have made her deeply happy.”

Continuing a Legacy of Care

Through Deenanath Mangeshkar Hospital & Research Center, the Foundation has long supported advanced treatment, research, and accessible healthcare for families across Maharashtra. The institution stands as a living tribute to the values of service, empathy, and excellence upheld by the Mangeshkar family.

The Bharat Ratna Lata Mangeshkar Memorial Ceremony marked an evening of reverence, remembrance, and renewed commitment — where melody met medicine, and legacy met service.

पुणे: भारतरत्न लता मंगेशकर यांच्या स्मृतींना आणि त्यांच्या करुणामय वारशाला अभिवादन करण्यासाठी Lata Mangeshkar Medical Foundation तर्फे लता मंगेशकर वैद्यकरत्न पुरस्कार प्रदान समारंभ आज शुक्रवार, ६ फेब्रुवारी २०२६ रोजी सायंकाळी यशवंतराव चव्हाण नाट्यगृह, कोथरूड, पुणे येथे संपन्न झाला. या विशेष कार्यक्रमासोबत “संतवाणी आणि लता हृदय” हा भावपूर्ण सांगीतिक कार्यक्रम सादर करण्यात आला.

हा सोहळा मनिषा निश्चल्स मॕहेक कॉन्सर्ट्स यांनी Deenanath Mangeshkar Hospital & Research Center यांच्या सहकार्याने आयोजित केला होता. लता दीदींनी आयुष्यभर जपलेल्या सेवा, संवेदना आणि मानवतेच्या मूल्यांना अभिवादन करण्याचा हा एक भावनिक प्रयत्न ठरला. वैद्यकीय क्षेत्रात उल्लेखनीय कार्य करणाऱ्या डॉक्टरांना भारतरत्न लता दीनानाथ मंगेशकर वैद्यक रत्न या पुरस्काराने गौरविण्यात आले.

पुरस्काराचे हे पहिले वर्ष असून, यावर्षी डाॅ. (प्रोफेसर) श्री. राजशेखरन, अध्यक्ष, गंगा हॉस्पिटल, कोइंबतूर, यांना या प्रतिष्ठित पुरस्काराने सन्मानित करण्यात आले.

कार्यक्रमाचे अध्यक्ष म्हणून डॉ. विश्वनाथ कराड, संस्थापक – MIT Group of Institutions, हे उपस्थित होते. या सोहळ्याला भावगंधर्व पं. हृदयनाथ मंगेशकर, पं. सुरेश तळवलकर, विद्यावाचस्पती पं. शंकर अभ्यंकर, डॉ. धनंजय केळकर आणि डॉ. समीर जोग यांची मान्यवर उपस्थिती लाभली. कार्यक्रमाचे सूत्रसंचालन दीप्ती भागवत यांनी केले.

संगीत आणि सेवेला मानवंदना

भारतरत्न लता दीनानाथ मंगेशकर वैद्यकरत्न पुरस्कार हा केवळ सन्मान नसून सेवाभावाचा गौरव ठरला. संगीताद्वारे हृदयांना स्पर्श करणाऱ्या लता दीदींच्या नावाने आरोग्यसेवेत मोलाचे योगदान देणाऱ्या वैद्यकीय तज्ज्ञांचा या निमित्ताने गौरव करण्यात आला.

“संतवाणी आणि लता हृदय”

हा कार्यक्रम संत ज्ञानेश्वर माऊली, संत तुकाराम, संत कबीर, संत सूरदास आणि संत मीराबाई यांच्या अजरामर काव्यांवर आधारित होता. लता दीदींनी या संतवाणीला दिलेल्या स्वरांमधून प्रेरणा घेऊन साकारलेली ही संगीतांजली अत्यंत भावस्पर्शी ठरली.

कार्यक्रमाचा मुख्य सांस्कृतिक भाग म्हणजे “संतवाणी आणि लता हृदय” ही भक्तिमय आणि शास्त्रीय संगीतातील आदरांजली होती. या सादरीकरणात पं. हृदयनाथ मंगेशकर आणि विद्यावाचस्पती पं. शंकर अभ्यंकर यांचे निरूपण झाले.

या कार्यक्रमात विभावरी जोशी, मनिषा निश्चल, श्रेयसी पावगी, प्राची देवल आणि ऋतुजा तारे या गायिकांनी सहभाग घेतला.

या संगीत अर्पणाबद्दल बोलताना पं. हृदयनाथ मंगेशकर म्हणाले:

“संगीत हे दीदींसाठी प्रार्थना होती — जगाला दिलेले त्यांचे अर्पण. ‘स्वरांजली’मधून आपण त्यांच्या आवाजासोबत त्यांची साधना, शिस्त आणि प्रत्येक सुरातील पवित्रता स्मरली.”

सेवेचा वारसा पुढे नेताना

दीनानाथ मंगेशकर रुग्णालय आणि रिसर्च सेंटर मार्फत फाउंडेशनने अनेक वर्षांपासून अत्याधुनिक, संशोधनाधारित आणि सर्वसामान्यांना परवडणारी आरोग्यसेवा पुरवली आहे. ही संस्था मंगेशकर कुटुंबाच्या सेवाभावी परंपरेचे जिवंत प्रतीक ठरली आहे.

लता मंगेशकर स्मृती समारोह हा केवळ स्मरणाचा कार्यक्रम न राहता सेवेला नवी दिशा देणारा प्रेरणादायी क्षण ठरला — जिथे संगीताने आत्म्याला स्पर्श केला आणि वैद्यकीय सेवांनी जीवनांना आशा दिली.

The Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) has withdrawn its earlier public notice dated 24 July 2023, which had exempted weddings and related functions from paying music licensing fees. The withdrawal comes in light of ongoing appeals concerning music copyright rights in the case of Novex Communications Pvt. Ltd. vs. Union of India, currently pending before the Punjab & Haryana High Court.

With the old notice now withdrawn, the copyright enforcement rights of Novex Communications stand reaffirmed. This means that all marriage-related ceremonies and celebrations — including sangeet, receptions, DJ nights, and cocktail parties — once again require a valid music license from the copyright holder, Novex Communications.

Event venues, planners, organizers, and families hosting such functions must therefore obtain the appropriate Novex Copyright License for any musical event involving sound recordings. Failure to comply may lead to infringement actions, including injunctions, financial damages, or even criminal liability.

Novex Communications is the exclusive licensing body authorized by several major Indian and Bollywood music labels, representing nearly 75% of India’s leading entertainment music catalogue. Their partners include Saregama/HMV, Yash Raj Music, Zee Music, Tips, Shemaroo, Red Ribbon, among others.

In a world where celebrity splits often become tabloid feasts, one story has remained stubbornly persistent—claims that actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu demanded a ₹200 crore alimony from her former husband, actor Naga Chaitanya. But insiders close to the couple now confirm what many hoped was true all along: the rumor was entirely false.

There was no alimony. There was no legal battle over money. There was only silence, mutual respect, and the difficult decision to part ways.

Their joint statement in 2021 called the separation “mutual.” But as is often the case, silence bred speculation. In the weeks that followed, social media threads and gossip columns fixated on a staggering sum—a ₹200 crore alimony figure, as if healing came with a price tag.

But the truth, it seems, is far more grounded. Samantha refused financial support. She didn’t want a penny. “All she took with her was her dignity,” said a source close to the actress. “It was never about money. It was about peace of mind, and moving forward with grace.”

The narrative of alimony unfortunately became a stick to beat her with. In a society where women are still judged for choosing independence over compromise, the fabricated figure painted her as materialistic. What it actually masked was courage—courage to walk away from a public relationship, knowing full well the whispers that would follow.

What made the situation harder was the timing. As Samantha focused on her career—rebuilding herself, one role at a time—her past kept resurfacing in distorted forms. Her name was pulled into unrelated controversies. She was questioned, doubted, dissected. Yet, through it all, she never retaliated. She simply worked.

In parallel, Naga Chaitanya too chose silence. He later found companionship with actor Sobhita Dhulipala, well after the legal formalities of the separation were complete. By all accounts, their marriage had ended before either sought new beginnings.

The real story, perhaps, is not about who said what, or who moved on faster. It’s about two people choosing dignity over drama. Samantha never asked for ₹200 crore. But in choosing herself, she may have gained something far more valuable.
