Renowned Sitar player Anoushka Shankar earned two nominations for the 65th edition of the Grammy Awards

Shankar has been nominated for Best Global Music Performance category for ‘Udhero Na’, her collaboration with multi-instrumentalist and singer Arooj Aftab, as well as in the Best Global Music Album category for ‘Between Us'.

An elated Shankar said: “It was truly a stunning moment to realise I had been nominated twice for this year’s Grammy Awards. I’m thrilled to have my album ‘Between Us’ recognised as I am very proud of the music I composed on that record and I’m overjoyed to share the nomination with my collaborators too.”

She further mentioned: “It’s also wonderful to be nominated alongside the brilliant Arooj Aftab for our work together on her song ‘Udhero Na’. I feel so grateful for everyone’s well wishes and messages. Now for the awkward part: trying to just stay happy and grateful for the nomination and not think too much about winning! Both categories are stacked with strong music and wonderful artists so I’ll just try to enjoy this initial recognition.”
