If you want to hear my music after my death, hear it through Shanti’s singing,” said Begum Akhtar. True to these words uttered by Begum Akhtar, Shanti Hiranand has, with her soul-stirring Dadra, Thumri and Ghazal performances, kept alive the style of her Guru. Shanti ji has won many awards for her valuable contribution to the world of music and has received acclaim and respect by performing across the globe. She has penned her experiences with her Guru in a beautiful biography called ‘Begum Akhtar: The Story of My Ammi.’
