Mumbai: Legendary musician Pyarelal Sharma of the Laxmikant-Pyarelal duo has been a huge influence for singer Hrishikesh Chury. In fact, the latter grew up listening to the icon’s compositions.
A source close to Chury says, “Hrishikesh was always passionate about music. Apart from the formal training that he received, Laxmikant-Pyarelal’s music was also an integral part of his syllabus. Since he shares a close bond with several musicians, Hrishikesh had the opportunity to take guidance from Pyarelal ji, when he visited the legend’s home. Pyarelalji was seen teaching Hrishikesh personally some of the music lessons & those lessons have come in handy for Hrishikesh. “
Talking about the experience and his bond with the veteran musician, Hrishikesh says, “When I visited Pyarelalji at his home for the first time, I was very excited. The meeting that I thought would be of a few minutes turned into several hours. The bond that was felt with him can’t be put into words. It was a wonderful experience to be taught by the legend himself.”
