Mumbai: Delhi audiences are in for a treat as the globally acclaimed solo musical play My Name is Jaan comes to the Shri Ram Centre for Performing Arts on 18th January 2025. Starring the versatile Arpita Chatterjee, this 90-minute performance delves into the extraordinary life of Gauhar Jaan, India’s first recording artist, who made history in 1902 by recording her first song with the Gramophone Company of India.
My Name is Jaan is more than a play—it’s an immersive experience that chronicles Gauhar Jaan’s rise from her humble beginnings to becoming a national sensation. Directed by Abanti Chakraborty, the production brings Gauhar’s story to life through 11 iconic songs performed live by Arpita Chatterjee. These songs, sung in multiple languages, including Hindi, Bengali, Gujarati, Punjabi, and English, reflect key moments of Gauhar’s life, from her musical milestones to her personal struggles and triumphs.
Arpita Chatterjee, a celebrated actress, classically trained singer, and dancer, has been praised for her ability to seamlessly blend acting and singing in the play. Having trained under legends like Ustad Rashid Khan and Pandit Arun Bhaduri, her portrayal of Gauhar Jaan captures both the emotional depth and artistic brilliance of the trailblazing singer.
