SAME, SAME, BUT DIFFERENT Story :

Jahnvi Shrimankar, Kailash Waghmare

She grew up in a large joint family in South Mumbai. He is a family of marginal farmers in Maharashtra's Jalna district.

Her grandmother introduced her to the nuances of Dadra and Dhrupad through Haveli Sangeet. He taught himself to sing perched on a Neem tree while grazing cattle in the vast open grounds outside his village.

From childhood, she was rigorously groomed to be a singer with no room for distractions. His musical influences were diverse; the court-yard outside his home was an open stage for every passing itinerant performer.

She found success as a commercial singer, but is still looking for her artistic "voice"; he found success as an actor but the music remains his source of creative inspiration.

Same, Same, but Different is a live sharing of these two fascinating personal histories, and musical journeys in the form of song, anecdotes, and memories.
