Meenakshi Seshadri was so impressed with Atharva’s performance on Superstar Singer 3 that she asked him to be her singing guru. Sharing that watching the young talents perform reminded her of her childhood, she said, “When I studied classical music from south India and north India, Hindustani, I didn’t pursue singing seriously because I always prioritised dance.” Conceding that balancing both is difficult, she asked Atharva, “If the tradition of guru and shishya is being followed here, could you teach me something in a way that makes me seem like a singer too?” He taught her a few lines and they sang together. “Oh my God, you poured your heart and soul into that song with so much emotion,” Meenakshi exclaimed.
