MUMBAI: The season of rhythm, devotion, and joy has found its heartbeat in Shibani Kashyap — the undisputed Dandiya Queen. With her intoxicating blend of Bollywood flair and traditional Garba spirit, Shibani isn’t just performing this Navratri; she’s carrying with her a musical legacy that has defined an era.
From her unforgettable playback numbers like Sajna Aa Bhi Jaa (Waisa Bhi Hota Hai Part II), Zinda Hoon Main (Zinda), and her soulful Kya Nazakat Hai (Mohabbatein), Shibani carved a niche as the voice of romance, resilience, and rhythm. Her independent hits — from Ho Gayi Hai Mohabbat Tumse that became a nationwide anthem of love, to Aaj Kal Zindagi, Wan Kahiya, and Nazakat — made her one of the few Indian singers to successfully blur the lines between Bollywood and indie music. With a guitar in hand and an instantly recognizable husky voice, Shibani built a connection with audiences that transcended generations.
It is this legacy that she now carries onto the festive stage. From Delhi’s Pitampura to Gurugram’s high-octane M3M Dandiya Raas, from the cultural warmth of Bangalore to the vibrant Ramleela Ground at Deepali Chowk, and onward to the much-anticipated Meerut manifestation, Shibani’s journey is nothing short of a musical pilgrimage. Each stage becomes her temple, every audience her devotees, swaying to her powerful voice and magnetic presence.
The journey begins in Pitampura with a grand Garba opening hosted by Ashok Goel Devaraha and presented by the Shree Keshav Ramleela Committee. Then, as if Navratri itself demanded more energy, Shibani fuses her iconic sound with DJ Suketu’s electrifying beats at Gurugram’s M3M 65th Avenue. Bangalore too will bask in Bollywood dandiya glory, with live Dhol, Aarti, and a soulful Shibani leading the night into ecstasy. Back in Delhi, at Raas Rang Utsav, she will paint the sky with song, only to crown her tour in Meerut, where details are already stirring eager anticipation.
Her schedule is relentless, her spirit unstoppable — proving why she reigns as the queen of this season. With every note she sings, Shibani Kashyap isn’t just performing, she is weaving together communities, cultures, and celebrations in a grand, non-stop festive symphony.
This Navratri, when Shibani takes the stage, the night isn’t just about dance and music — it’s about surrendering to joy. The queen has spoken, and the nation will dance.
