Singer-composer Vishal Mishra has pledged to work towards helping devotees return to their hometowns for Chhath Mahaparv, saying he wants to ensure that as many people as possible can celebrate the festival with their families.
Mishra shared the commitment in a note on Instagram, highlighting the difficulties faced by lakhs of devotees every year while trying to travel home for the festival.
“Every year, lakhs of devotees face several difficulties while trying to return to their homes for Chhath Mahaparv,” he wrote.
The musician said that from next year, he and his associates would make every possible effort to help devotees reach their hometowns.
“From next year onwards, we, along with all our associates, pledge to make every possible effort to help as many people as we can reach their homes for Chhath,” Mishra said.
He added that the endeavour would be to ensure that nobody is forced to remain away from their family during the festival.
Chhath Mahaparv is widely observed, particularly in Bihar, Jharkhand and parts of eastern Uttar Pradesh, with devotees travelling to their native places to celebrate the occasion with their families.
On the professional front, Mishra began his journey through a reality show aired on DD National and later auditioned for Indian Idol, though he did not make it through the competition.
He made his debut as a composer in 2016 with the Tamil film Devi. In 2017, he composed “Jaane De”, sung by Atif Aslam, for Qarib Qarib Singlle. He also worked on Munna Michael, which marked his singing debut, and the Marathi film FU: Friendship Unlimited.
His subsequent projects include “Rafta Rafta” from Yamla Pagla Deewana Phir Se, featuring a special appearance by Salman Khan, and “Selfish” from Race 3. He also composed the title track of Veere Di Wedding.
