He wrote, “This message is just for my listeners. Please don’t read and swipe right now if you are not my listener — it’s a humble request. Hello beautiful people! I just want to tell you all that I love you. Thank you so much for your kindness in this ruthless world. Although I have stopped taking new assignments, the list of pending songs is not small. I will have to complete many songs. Don’t get involved in explaining things to people — how many times will you? There are so many unfinished songs; they will keep releasing until they are done — maybe throughout this year, maybe even into next year. Be peaceful. Try to step away from this platform. Read, love, meditate. Jay Devi!”
He also surprised audiences recently by performing in Kolkata alongside Anoushka Shankar. Videos and pictures from the concert soon went viral on social media.
