Hindi Ghazals | Indian Ghazals | Wedding Singer

Music binds these soul mates in an unbreakable bond of love and togetherness. Their intimate bonding reflects in their soul-stirring renditions, whether individually or as duets. Brought together by their love for music, it is music that sustains them through the highs and lows of life. Roop Kumar and Sonali Rathod

Ishara, Khushboo, Mitwaa, Mohabbat Ho Gaya, Sunn Zara, Bazm-e-Meer and Velvet Voices are just some of the duo’s many albums which have emblazoned the music circuit. Rendered with flawless diction, the albums are a listener’s delight. Their rendition of ghazals has taken ghazals to a new height. Sunali being the eternal dreamer comes across as a strong personality while Roop, the pure romanticist, complements her with his compliant nature. While Sunali is open and outgoing, Roop loves the solitude which music provides. Indeed, Heaven’s gift to each other!

Life for them is a many-splendoured thing. Being multi-faceted, they share many common interests. Like true romantics, they love nature and travel to different parts of the world to explore nature in her varying hues. It is not just music and travel that create a strong bonding between the couple.

They are connoisseurs of food and love to indulge in exotic fare. Sunali’s other interests extend into the outer realm - astrology and numerology. Roop on the other hand is an avid photographer and photography forms an exciting part of his travelogue.

Their only daughter Reewa performed at the Tejpal Hall when she was just four years old by singing ‘Payogi maine Ram ratan dhan payo’ , the same venue where Roop vowed audiences at his first performance. A pianist, a singer and a composer, Reewa has composed the signature tune for Radio City sung by her illustrious parents.

Bound by music, the happy and united Rathod family continue to make waves and enthrall the world with their unique musical talent. Music that lingers long after the curtains go down!
