Mumbai, Nov 18 Music composer Shekhar Ravjiani of the duo Vishal–Shekhar, has revealed that he lost his voice 2 years ago.
On Monday, the composer took to his Instagram, and penned a note about his scary condition, and how he came out victorious at the other end.
He shared that he came to know about his condition of Left Vocal Chord Paresis.
He wrote, “Here's something I've never spoken about before, felt like sharing it today. I lost my voice 2 years ago. 'Left Vocal Chord Paresis'. This was Dr. Nupur Nerurkar's expert diagnosis. I was destroyed. Honestly, I was pessimistic. I thought I would never be able to sing again. My family was worried. And I was not happy seeing them all stressed out. I just prayed harder”.
He said that despite the odds, he didn't stop working. He kept trying, kept pushing. In the middle of this he had to travel to San Diego for a few weeks.
He continued, “I met Jeremy in San Diego. He connected me to an angel. Dr. Erin Walsh who I couldn't meet due to Covid. So we did a zoom call instead. I remember tears rolling down uncontrollably as I told her that I wanted to be able to sing again. I begged her to please do something. The first thing she told me was that I should not blame myself for what happened with my voice. We spoke at length and she made me feel comfortable and eventually she miraculously made me believe that I could sing. Which was the first step”.
He further mentioned that each time he tried, he croaked, and began to hate the sound of his voice but, his doctor was unfazed, and kept working on his voice and his spirit.
He went on, “Her sheer dedication, determination and her positivity made my paralysed left vocal cord come back to normal within a few weeks. I am absolutely fine now and can sing even better than I used to. Thank you Dr Erin Walsh for being my angel on earth. Since then, I've met a lot of people who lost their voices post Covid. There is a way”.
“There is a solution. Just be positive and believe. Always keep hope in your hearts people. There will always be angels out there, who will find you and heal you”, he added.
