In this episode of Call Him Curious podcast, Shikhar Varshney sits down with the incredibly soulful singer @SagarBhatiaOfficial , diving deep into the world of qawwali, Sufism, and the evolution of Indian music. From his spiritual connection to Sufi music to the electrifying vibe of performing live, this episode explores the emotional journey of an artist in today’s fast-changing music landscape. Sagar talks about the special bond with his team, his dilemma between performing at Indian weddings, going on a pan-India tour, or vibing at Studio XO gigs. His answer? Pure love for his fans and audience. He opens up about his inspiration from Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, the creative energy behind remaking classic qawwalis, and the raw emotion that gave birth to his song Raazdaariyan ft. @MostlySane | @taaruk .
