For pop sensation Dhvani Bhanushali, music isn’t just a career; it’s the very spark of life itself. She truly believes that melodies and rhythm bring light to everyone. In a recent chat with Amar Ujala, the singer shared how she keeps her spirits high and lets her inner glow shine through tough times and criticism.
This interview came as part of Amar Ujala’s special Navratri series, which features nine artists over nine days. Each day honors a different goddess. Dhvani’s story arrived on the fourth day, dedicated to Mata Kushmanda, who represents the universe’s light and life force. Her journey perfectly matches the goddess’s symbolism.
Dhvani admitted that early in her career, every online comment or public opinion really got to her. It felt like a constant battle to meet everyone’s expectations, draining her energy. But over time, she realized her energy was precious. It needed to be invested in her craft, her concerts, and her own happiness. What once made her weak now makes her strong. She even jokes that if people are trolling her, at least they are still talking about her name!
She recalls a particularly moving experience during a concert in Bengaluru. It was pouring rain, yet three to four thousand fans stayed, dancing and cheering her on. Their incredible energy lit up the entire venue, making it feel bright and full of life. That moment taught her a valuable lesson: when our energy is put in the right place, it truly makes life more beautiful.
Navratri has always held a special place in Dhvani’s heart. Though she hasn’t performed a dedicated Navratri concert, she’s danced Garba many times. The sheer joy and powerful energy of moving with the crowd feel like pure magic to her. This year, she’s hoping to experience the full festival from the stage, sharing that unique happiness with everyone watching.
For Dhvani, being fearless means letting your own light shine, no matter the obstacles. Every day, she tells herself to push forward, illuminate her own path, and chase her dreams. She believes this approach is the key to a happy life. She’s also learned that even a small act of bravery – speaking up, sticking to a decision, or taking a chance – can completely change your day. That positive energy can then spread to others, bringing a touch of magic to life.
When she’s performing, Dhvani feels most alive and vibrant. She sees every show as a chance to spread good vibes and happiness. For her, music is the perfect way to make sure that light reaches everyone. This Navratri, she hopes to let go of any worries about outcomes. She believes true happiness comes from the journey itself, from sharing your energy and light with others, and from making each day brighter.
Her message to fans is simple and powerful: Stay strong, be fearless, and never stop shining. Celebrate every moment, let your inner light beam out, and truly enjoy all that life offers. Our positivity is our greatest power. Use it wisely, and you’ll find everything can change for the better.
