Talking about his illness, he shared, "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. I didn't stop working. Kept trying, kept pushing. In the middle of this, I had to travel to San Diageo for a few weeks. I met Jeremy in San Diageo. He connected me to an angel. I will be talking about her in my next slide..," the singer added.
Shekhar Ravijiani is known for songs like 'Bin Tere', 'Meherbaan' 'Tujhe Bhula Diya' He often partners with fellow musician Vishal Dadlani and the duo form the hit music composer jodi called Vishal-Shekhar.
He opened up about undergoing treatment in his Instagram post and wrote, "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 that she told me was that I should not blame myself for what happened to my voice. We spoke at length and she made me feel comfortable and eventually, miraculously, she made me believe that I could sing, which was the first step." He continued in his post.
"But each time I cried, I croaked, and began to hate the sound of my voice... but, she was unwavered and kept working on my voice and spirit. Her sheer determination, dedication and her positivity made my paralysed left vocal cord come back to normal within a few weeks," added Shekhar.
Before signing off, Shekhar added that he was fine now. "I am absolutely fine now. And can sung even better than I used to. Thank you, Dr. Erin Walsh, for being my angel on earth. Since then, I have 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. Jai Hanuman.”
