Mumbai, April 20

Late music composer Aadesh Srivastava's son Avitesh Srivastava's his father's wish before he passed away.

Avitesh who recently appeared on the music reality show Indian Idol, became emotional while recalling Aadesh Shrivastava's strength during his battle with illness.

"Last mein, he was battling cancer... unki bas yahi tamanna thi ki main jaldi bada ho jaun... woh chahte the ki unhe thoda aur waqt mil jaaye taaki woh mujhe aur sikha sakein aur main sab sambhaal loon," he said, highlighting his father's unwavering dedication.

He concluded with a promise to carry forward his legacy. "Sabke aashirvaad se, I have been working hard. With everyone's support, I am trying to take the legacy forward."

Further, Avitesh was also seen recalling his father's personality and how he was asking a father to him.

"Papa was very fun, and at the same time very strict with me. Main padhai mein bahut kamzor tha, aur masti bahut karta tha... Toh school ke baad hamesha meri studio mein class lagti thi. 'Aajao, padhai toh karoge nahi,' yeh bolkar woh mujhe wahan le jaate the," he shared.

He further expressed gratitude for the learning and exposure he received while growing up in a creative environment.

"I feel very blessed ki unke saath mujhe woh time mila... unse mujhe bahut saari cheezein seekhne ko mili. Abhi bhi main seekh raha hoon," he added.

Musicmc composer Vishal Dadlani, who is seen on Indian Idol in the capacity of a judge, further highlighted Aadesh Shrivastava's monumental contribution to the Indian music industry.

He recalled how Aadesh stood at the forefront of composers' rights during a crucial time in the industry. "Jab composers apne hak ke liye lad rahe the, tab sabse aage Aadesh ji the... Unhone ek bahut badi ladai ladi aur jeeti bhi," said Vishal.

Calling him a "legend" and a "lion-hearted personality," Vishal added, " Aadesh ji ne music industry ke liye jo kiya hai uska hum sab par karz hai... We will always keep his memory alive not just for his music, but for his courage, spirit, and for standing up for all of us."

For the uninitiated, Aadesh Srivastava passed away on 2015 after battling cancer.

"School ke baad studio mein class lagti thi" - This is so relatable to so many Indian fathers! Strict but loving, wanting the best for their kids. Avitesh seems very grounded. All the best to him.

While the sentiment is beautiful, I feel these reality shows sometimes exploit emotional backstories for TRPs. I hope Avitesh's talent is judged purely on his music and not just his father's memory.

Aadesh Srivastava's songs from the 90s and 2000s are timeless. "Tumse Milke Dil Ka Hai Jo Haal" still gives me chills. It's wonderful to see the next generation carrying the flag forward. Legacy lives on through music.
