I condemn this commercial on account of its inaccurate and disparaging representation of a practising classical vocalist - It disrespects the cultural identity of our great country & shows the cricketing fraternity in an ungraceful light. @Dream11 @BCCI @MinOfCultureGoI.

To become a good musician you need to become a great listener. The best musicians are often the best listeners. they go on stage and just listen. to their fellow musicians, to themselves, to the moment, to their heart. Put your ear on your heart.
