Tejaswini Kolhapure Saraswat takes the help of classical music route to raise funds for Covid-19 crisis

Actor Tejaswini Kolhapure Saraswat is harnessing the power of music to support a fundraiser for the benefit of the needy in these times.

Everyone is trying to do their bit helping people cope with this Covid-19 pandemic. Celebrities, too, have been making a positive impact and giving back to those in need.

Actor Tejaswini Kolhapure takes the ‘music for a cause’ way to aid the needy amid the crisis.

Actor Tejaswini Kolhapure Saraswat, who hails from a family of music stalwarts,on her part as well is aiding the novel coronavirus relief efforts by a fundraiser in which musicians are doing live performances.

“I am doing this fundraiser which is music for a cause in memory of our father Pandit Pandharinath Kolhapure who founded this trust, Veena Vardayani. I wanted to make the fund-raising a little more unique so I thought why not do music sessions, which would also entertain people who are sitting at home,” shares the actor.

“I can also get Padmini (Kolhapure, sister) to sing. I wanted my kaka Hridaynath Mangeshkar to be also involved but he is very old so I don’t want to trouble him,” she shares.

On whether one would see the involvement of her aunt, melody queen Lata Mangeshkar, she says, “Again all of them are 75 and above. I don’t want to bother them.”

The actor says that this initiative is serving two purposes - raising funds to help the needy and animals in this crisis as well as bringing classical music on social media.

“It is a sort of revival of classical music like never before, I feel. The response that we have got so far has been quite overwhelming. It has been a bit of a challenge to get musicians, co-ordinate with them, getting them live as there technicalities involved. But it has been going fine so far and I hope it continues to,” she shares.
