MUMBAI: Singer-composer Shekhar Ravjiani, who will be releasing his sixth independent single titled Devi on upcoming singing reality TV show Om Shanti Om, says the song is his “heartfelt tribute to womankind”.
Ravjiani will release the single on the ‘Shub Aaramb’ episode of the show, which will air on Star Bharat.
“‘Devi’ is my sixth independent single and my heartfelt tribute to womankind. As a culture we Indians have always worshipped goddesses and prayed for their divine power to bless us and our loved ones. However, the same culture sadly doesn’t give the living goddesses among us, our women and girls, the same kind of respect and love,” Ravjiani said in a statement.

He also said he is looking forward to perform the song for the first time on the show.
“I hope the song finds a place in the hearts of all the viewers,” added the singer.
