Talking about classical music, sitar virtuoso Pandit Ravi Shankar cannot be forgotten. Pandit Ravi Shankar is not among us today, but the joy can be felt even today with the tunes of his sitar. Born on this day in 1920 in Banaras, Ravi Shankar was the youngest of seven brothers. Pandit Ravi Shankar, who was initially inclined towards dance, started learning the sitar at the age of 18 and made an indelible identity in the country and abroad. Famous for his rhythm, tone, and Sargam, There were many such stories in the life of Pandit Ravi Shankar which were shocking.

There were some women in his life who were important to him. His mother also played a special role in Pandit Ravi Shankar's life. Ravi Shankar's mother Hemangini Devi became the first Sargam in his life. Ravi Shankar's father Shyam Shankar Jhalwad was a diwan of the state and his mother Hemangini Devi was a housewife. However, after some time Diwan Shyam Shankar went to London to practice law and got married again. After this, Ravi Shankar's mother raised him and Ravi Shankar got all the values in his life from his mother.

At the same time, Panditji went to Maihar to learn the sitar from Ustad Alauddin Khan. At the same time, his first wife Annapurna Devi was special to him. Panditji married Annapurna Devi, the daughter of his guru, in the year 1941. At the same time, both of them also had a son from this marriage, who is no longer in this world. After being together for about 20 years, they separated. Classical dancer Kamala Devi came into the life of Ravi Shankar, which is why he separated from his first wife.

Ravi Shankar, who came in contact with dancer Kamala Devi, was in a live-in relationship with her for a long time. However, later all his relations with Kamala Devi were severed. Sue Jones came into his life. Panditji came in contact with New York concert producer Sue Jones after separating from Kamala Devi. While in a live-in relationship, Sue gave birth to a daughter, Norah Jones, in 1979. His daughter Norah is also a singer and sitar player. In 1981, after separating from Sue Jones, Ravi Shankar came in contact with Sukanya Rajan, with whom Sukanya gave birth to daughter Anushka.

After the birth of their daughter, the two got married in 1989. Now today, Panditji's two daughters are carrying forward the musical legacy even in his absence. While Norah Jones is a famous singer in America today, their daughter Anushka is also a well-known name in the world of music.
