MUMBAI: For playback singer Anusha Mani, the strangest feeling is to perform in her living room for virtual gigs, which has become the new normal amid the pandemic.
“We’ve done about five to six virtual concerts so far. It’s the strangest feeling to perform in your living room and then walk 20 steps to retire for the day. However, I am very grateful to be able to continue working in whatever small capacity during the lockdown, and in the present situation,” Anusha said.
Are virtual concerts as satisfying for an artiste as live gigs? Anusha replied: “Virtual gigs come nowhere close in comparison with the satisfaction, adrenaline rush, instant gratification and playing with musicians under the big stage lights and seeing the audience react live in front of you. I think human beings are amazing creatures, so adaptive in nature. We learn to make the most of any given situation and that’s what we have done with virtual concerts.”
