Having spent decades weaving magic on the big screen with his soundtracks crafted alongside partner Jigar Saraiya, Sachin Sanghvi is looking forward to the next phase of his life—welcoming his daughter into the music industry. As his daughter Tanishkaa releases her latest single, Hold me down, Sachin looks back on raising her to be a follower of music.

“We [created] the atmosphere [that helped her] fall in love with music, and subtly learn. We have enjoyed watching her learn various instruments and digital music production, alongside her singing coaching,” says the father, adding that his mantra to help his daughter create a lasting career is to teach her to “be original”. “That’s the only way in which you can create an impression. You have to be yourself. We don’t want to worry about [creating an] impact or standing out,” he says, adding that kids of Tanishkaa’s generation do not “like to be told what hit music is”.
