How was the musical grooming since childhood?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Music was always there in my house as my mom-dad are great music lovers. My elder brother (<a href=\"http:\/\/blog.rishabhagarwal.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow\">Rishabh Agarwal<\/a>) used to sing and play various instruments back in school. One day, without any assistance, <strong>I happened to play keyboard with my tiny hands and that\u2019s when it hit my mom that I have some sort of music sense. That\u2019s how it all started.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s been a great journey altogether, I\u2019m still learning as it&#8217;s not a destination but a process. I have learnt Indian Classical music for around 17 yrs now, did Bachelors and pursuing Masters in Hindustani Music. I have been really blessed to have such a family by my side who supports me at every step, to have been taught by such great music gurus, it&#8217;s overwhelming to think that how much confidence do people have in your talent because they know your abilities more than you even know on your own.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"1320\" height=\"743\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JcSTBQGdkr8?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 2- \u00a0 \u00a0Apart from a great music artist, you are a trained Kathak dancer too. What interested you the most since childhood?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>To be honest, it might sound a little weird but I was never really inclined towards singing at all. All I wanted to do was dancing. That\u2019s how I got into Kathak and other forms of dance. I always used to dig and learn stuff from the internet and I still do. I have highly enjoyed my \u201cDancing Keeda\u201d till my college time. Lol!<br \/>\nBut it was always my voice which used to stun people the most. They always, always used to tell me that I should join Bollywood (like its some sort of company waiting for me to join them. Haha!)<\/p>\n<h3><b>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 3- \u00a0 \u00a0During your student life, how did music go hand in hand with you?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>I have always been a studious, all-rounder and notorious kinda kid back in school. Studies have always been important to me and I luckily aced at it. Music was something which came naturally to me. When you are good at something, it doesn\u2019t really feel as a burden, you rather enjoy it. Also, I get bored really easily. I\u2019m a multitasking person. I need to be occupied with something at all times. That\u2019s when music and dance came by!<\/p>\n<p><img data-attachment-id=\"50935\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.paisawapas.com\/student-stories\/252722-subscribers-42909835-views-and-still-counting-ritu-agarwal\/ritu\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/03031704\/Ritu.jpg?fit=1555%2C1037&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1555,1037\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Ritu\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/03031704\/Ritu.jpg?fit=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/03031704\/Ritu.jpg?fit=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-50935 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/03031704\/Ritu.jpg?resize=1320%2C880&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"ritu agarwal\" width=\"1320\" height=\"880\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/03031704\/Ritu.jpg?resize=1320%2C880&#038;ssl=1 1555w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/03031704\/Ritu.jpg?resize=1320%2C880&#038;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/03031704\/Ritu.jpg?resize=1320%2C880&#038;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/03031704\/Ritu.jpg?resize=1320%2C880&#038;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/03031704\/Ritu.jpg?resize=1320%2C880&#038;ssl=1 414w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/03031704\/Ritu.jpg?resize=1320%2C880&#038;ssl=1 470w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/03031704\/Ritu.jpg?resize=1320%2C880&#038;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/03031704\/Ritu.jpg?resize=1320%2C880&#038;ssl=1 130w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/03031704\/Ritu.jpg?resize=1320%2C880&#038;ssl=1 187w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1320px) 100vw, 1320px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><b>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 4- \u00a0 \u00a0When did you come up with the idea of choosing singing as your professional career?
