Some messages…

The toughest show I have done live!! But wonderful. Thank you. All my friends were hooked to the screenplay. I did well because you did what was necessary to inspire me. Ibaadat - a divine homage to the words behind the songs. The Ibaadat format makes us pause to ‘hear’ the words. The lyrics. Ibaadat not just performs the songs live, singing with music, it has the sensibility to narrate many of the songs by the lyrics being narrated and or sung without music accompaniment. We realise the significance of the lyricist, the words, in the creation of the song, as it is the lyricist whose words are tuned and sung to begin with in the creation of the song. Rakesh Anand Bakshi, (son of Anand Bakshi), Filmmaker, Author and Fitness & Spirituality Enthusiast

Every show of yours gives us so much joy. I just pray that we have Ibaadat for eternity. Vidya Shah, Executive Chairperson & CEO, Edelgive Foundation
