Dandiya queen Falguni Pathak, who has been in collaboration with the Sankalp Group for Navratri celebrations every year, is no longer with them.

The nine-day festival that has had the diva belt out traditional Dandiya numbers for 22 years, to crowds pouring in from every possible corner of the country, will miss her this time.

Falguni will be performing in Gujarat this year. The one replacing her in Mumbai will be Indian Idol finalist Rahul Vaidya, who has already started rehearsing for the show. Sadly, this will be the first time in 22 years that Falguni will not be performing in Mumbai.

Since several years, the nine-day festival has had the diva belt out traditional Dandiya numbers and folk songs in collaboration with the Sankalp Group.

The question is who’s going to take on the mantle this year? It’s the whole new youth brigade headed by Indian Idol contestant Rahul Vaidya. Sankalp organiser Devendra Joshi claims that Rahul will be called ‘Savayo Gujarati’ in this dandiya as he sings Gujarati folk songs extremely well inspite of being a Maharashtrian, originally from Nagpur. “My first recorded track was Swaminarayan bhajans in Gujarati and since then I have sung innumerable songs in the language. Infact I love Gujarati songs and enjoy performing them,”revealed Rahul.

On talented Pathak being replaced by Rahul Vaidya, Joshi said, “Falguni is undoubtedly a great singer but Rahul is equally talented. He performs traditional Gujarati songs so well that not a single person can say that he is not from Gujarat.”
