New Delhi: Delhi, get ready for an evening of magic and history! The much-awaited solo musical play My Name Is Jaan is coming to the Shri Ram Centre for Performing Arts on 18th January 2025, and the excitement is building. This unique production has been winning hearts across cities like Mumbai, Germany, and Kolkata, and now it’s time for Delhi to experience the magic of Gauhar Jaan’s extraordinary story.
At the heart of this 90-minute masterpiece is the story of Gauhar Jaan, India’s first gramophone recording artist.

Her historic 1902 gramophone recording cemented her place in history, earning her the title of the “Gramophone Girl of India”.
The play, directed by the visionary Abanti Chakraborty, takes audiences on a journey through Gauhar’s life, showcasing her triumphs, struggles, and indomitable spirit. With live performances of 11 iconic songs in multiple languages, including Bengali, Hindi, Gujarati, Punjabi, and English, the production is a celebration of Gauhar’s musical genius and cultural legacy.
Arpita Chatterjee’s Stellar Performance
Starring the multitalented Arpita Chatterjee, the play has been lauded by critics and audiences alike. Bollywood legend Anupam Kher, after attending the Mumbai premiere, called it “a performance of extraordinary calibre,” adding, “What range of emotions, what grace, what a voice! I learnt so much from watching you.”
Arpita’s portrayal seamlessly combines acting and live singing, immersing audiences in Gauhar’s world. Her ability to capture the highs and lows of Gauhar’s life has been described as nothing short of mesmerising.
