Gujarat came alive at the folk artist’s concert in the city

Fireworks, stage effects, and a high-energy dance troupe set the tone as folk artist and Khalasi singer Aditya Gadhvi enthralled Mumbai with his foot-tapping numbers and soulful songs at Jio Garden. Aditya made a grand entry, arriving on stage in a decked-up e-rickshaw while singing Mithada Maheman, instantly lifting the mood and setting the vibe right.

He dedicated Mor Bani Thanghat Kare to the city of Mumbai, drawing loud cheers, and followed it up with his recent track Latke Halo. Keeping the momentum alive, he performed the crowd-favourite Gotilo... Khalasi, with Mumbaikars enthusiastically singing along to the chorus.

As they were grooving to his songs, Mumbaikars didn’t hesitate to form groups and perform garba. Later, he asked the gathered audience if they believed in soulmates before belting out Tane Jata Joi Panghat Ni Vate.

After a spectacular sold-out concert on Day One, the singer performed his second show on April 26 at 7 pm at Jio Garden. His shows, which had a mix of everything—from Gujarati songs to infectious, foot-tapping energy—drew an enthusiastic Mumbai crowd that’s already hoping Aditya Gadhvi returns soon.
