Rishab Rikhiram Sharma India Tour: Find Dates, Tickets, Cities

Sitarist and composer Rishab Rikhiram Sharma is taking his inventive approach to Indian classical music on the road, as part of a Sitar for Mental Health tour that travels to 10 cities in April and May 2025
Sharma, the last protégé of the legendary Pandit Ravi Shankar and a scion of New Delhi’s renowned Rikhi Ram musical instrument business, has reportedly sold over 50,000 tickets already and has now added a second Mumbai concert on Apr. 13, 2025 and will be playing in a bigger venue than originally planned at his kickoff show in New Delhi on Apr. 6, 2025.
As part of the Sitar For Mental Health India Tour, Sharma will perform in New Delhi (Apr. 6), Mumbai (Apr. 11 and 13), Pune (Apr. 18), Ahmedabad (Apr. 20), Bengaluru (Apr. 27), Jaipur (May 2), Hyderabad (May 4), Indore (May 9), Chandigarh (May 11) and Kolkata (May 18).
Sharma said in a statement when the tour was first announced in early February, “We are witnessing a fascinating cultural shift. Ancient ragas are resonating with contemporary listeners in profoundly new ways. Classical music isn’t just surviving in the digital age; it’s thriving. Young people are increasingly drawn to the transformative power of these age-old melodies, recognizing the emotional depth and resonance they offer, often absent in much of today’s music.”
A press release states that Sharma is likely to perform tracks such as “Shiv Kailash,” “Chanakya” and “Tandavam” as part of a 120-minute set that pairs sitar with “innovative sound healing techniques.”
The tour is produced by Team Innovation and District by Eternal. Team Innovation’s co-founder Mohit Bijlani said in a statement about the response for Sharma’s tour, “We knew this concept was special, but the manner in which the audience has embraced ‘Sitar for Mental Health’ has exceeded all expectations. The speed at which tickets sold out is a testament to the power of music therapy. Our goal with this tour is to not only showcase the beauty of the sitar but also to open a dialogue about mental health. The incredible demand for tickets shows that this conversation is more important than ever and endeavor to explore even more ways to bring the healing power of music to communities across the country.”
District by Eternal’s founder and chief operating officer of events Kunal Khambhati adds in his statement, “The overwhelming response to Rishab Rikhiram Sharma’s ‘HSBC Presents Sitar for Mental Health’ tour powerfully demonstrates the evolving cultural landscape in India and the growing desire for experiences that seamlessly blend artistic brilliance with well-being.”

Blake Lively–Justin Baldoni lawsuit: Taylor Swift and Hugh Jackman reportedly on subpoena list | – The Times of India

What began as a film adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s bestselling novel It Ends With Us has now spiraled into a courtroom drama involving some of Hollywood’s biggest names — and it might soon pull Taylor Swift and Hugh Jackman into the spotlight.
According to a report by the Daily Mail, Swift and ‘Wolverine’ star Jackman, are expected to be issued subpoenas in connection with the ongoing legal battle between actress Blake Lively and her co-star Justin Baldoni. The source claims the subpoenas could be delivered “at any time,” with Casa Cipriani — a New York celebrity hotspot — tipped as the likely scene for this dramatic plot twist.
The Lively and Baldoni drama began in December 2024, when the actress filed a lawsuit citing emotional distress and monetary losses linked to the production of It Ends With Us. In January 2025, Baldoni responded with a $400 million countersuit, accusing Lively and her husband, actor Ryan Reynolds, of defamation, emotional manipulation, and exerting undue influence over the film’s direction by allegedly leveraging their A-list connections.
According to court filings, a rewritten rooftop scene allegedly became a point of contention. Baldoni claimed that Lively used her friendship with Swift to sway creative decisions during a private script session held at the couple’s New York penthouse.
While Swift was not been directly named in the filings, her presence was implied in a message from Baldoni reportedly praising the changes, “I really love what you did. It really does help a lot. Makes it so much more fun and interesting. (And I would have felt that way without Ryan or Taylor).”
Sources speaking to Page Six revealed that the pop star felt “used” after being dragged into what was supposed to be a behind-the-scenes creative process, but she has no intention of avoiding the stand. Swift has reportedly received a “genuine and heartfelt” apology from Lively and is “not afraid” to testify if called upon.
Meanwhile, Jackman’s potential involvement remains less clear, though insiders suggest his long-standing friendship with both Blake and Ryan and proximity to certain production meetings could make his testimony relevant.
The high-profile battle is due for a hearing in court on March 9, 2026.

How Will India Respond To Pakistan After Pahalgam Terror Attack? Modi-Doval Hold Key To…

Pahalgam Terrorist Attack: Following the terrorist attack in Pahalgam, one thing is now certain—India will retaliate, and this time, the response is expected to be far more extensive and destructive than the actions taken in 2016 or 2019. According to a detailed analysis by Zee News Managing Editor Rahul Sinha, the Indian government is working in mission mode on three fronts: strategic planning, diplomatic outreach, and military action.
Before delving into the specifics, the country heard a powerful statement from Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, which is being viewed as a formal announcement of India’s intent to retaliate. Importantly, this was not a political or election-related statement but a serious message directed at Pakistan’s leadership, its army chief General Asim Munir, and terrorist organizations operating from its soil.
In today’s DNA, Rahul Sinha, Managing Editor, Zee News, analysed the developments related to the Pahalgam terror attack and possible retaliation from India:

- The Indian government will take every necessary and appropriate step.
- The retaliation will not only target the attackers but also those involved in the planning and conspiracy.
- India cannot be intimidated by terror attacks.
- The response will be strong and decisive.
This makes it clear that a countdown to action has begun. Both the terrorists and the Pakistani military, believed to be involved in the planning, are likely targets of India’s upcoming strike.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who was scheduled to return from Saudi Arabia late at night, instead cut short his visit and returned to Delhi around 7 AM after learning of the attack. He canceled a scheduled dinner with the Saudi leadership and held an immediate meeting at the airport with External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar, National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, and Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri, who briefed him on the entire situation.

Sources confirm that any military response will be carried out either by the Indian Army or the BSF. In light of this, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh convened a two-and-a-half-hour meeting with Chief of Defence Staff General Anil Chauhan and the chiefs of the Army, Navy, and Air Force. During this meeting, the Defence Minister was briefed on the current situation and the following key threats:
- 42 terrorist launchpads are currently active in Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
- 30 to 35 launchpads are operating near Kashmir and other regions.
- Between 100 and 125 Pakistani terrorists are prepared to infiltrate via the Line of Control or the International Border.
- 70 to 75 terrorists are believed to already be in the Kashmir Valley.
- Approximately 115 Pakistani terrorists are currently active in Kashmir and surrounding areas.
National Security Advisor Ajit Doval’s role is seen as crucial. His presence in the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) meeting highlights his central involvement in shaping India’s response. Sources suggest that Doval is preparing a distinct and possibly unprecedented action plan for retaliation.
With extensive experience in Pakistan and deep knowledge of the Kashmir region, Doval is credited with overseeing two of the most successful strikes across the border. His mastery in strategic planning and intelligence coordination is likely to play a pivotal role in whatever course of action India takes next.
As the situation develops, all signs point to a meticulously crafted, high-impact response—one that will once again showcase India’s resolve against terrorism and those who harbor it.
