After Anoushka’s denial, Rishab shares proof of guru-shishya bond

Musician Anoushka Shankar recently denied claims that sitarist Rishab Rikhiram Sharma was a disciple of her father, the legendary Pandit Ravi Shankar. While praising his talent, she maintained that her father was never formally his guru. Now, Rishab has responded with an official statement and shared photographs with the late maestro, asserting that he was indeed accepted as a disciple through a traditional Ganda Bandhan ceremony.
