Talking about the nomination “It’s like you have a dream for years and years and then you work towards it. It’s very surreal. It’s an 11-year journey, it took two-and-a-half years, but the process of getting to this was from 2011. And, right from the beginning, there were two questions, What if? and Why not? And that was even how the Ensemble got formed, and here we are, on a global scale, the highest musical recognition that one can get. Let’s keep in mind that thousands and thousands of people submit for Grammy consideration every year, so, to be part of the top five in that category is really such an honour”. 

 

While talking about the nomination, she also said about her outfit that, “ This is a traditional Kanjivaram saree from India. So, it is created by weavers in our country. I am happy to represent my country and my culture.” She completed her look with a red Bindi and golden choker set.
