50 years in the industry feel surreal: Hariharan on childhood, films, and all things music

NEW DELHI: Growing up in Mumbai, a young Hariharan would often wake up to the sounds of ragas, the aroma of tea in the air and intense discussions on complex Carnatic compositions.

The world outside the four walls was a similar mix with music at the centre of it as the city exposed Hariharan to devotional tunes from temples, street performances during Ganesh Chaturthi, the glamour of Bollywood, and classical music concerts.

Born in 1955 to classical musicians H A S Mani and Alamelu Mani, music seemed like a natural choice for Hariharan.
