Renowned composer Ilaiyaraaja has unveiled plans to establish an all-girls orchestra in honor of his late daughter, Bhavatharini, who tragically passed away last year. This initiative seeks to fulfill her dream of creating a musical ensemble, a vision she once shared with her father.

Announcing this heartfelt tribute on February 12, Bhavatharini’s birthday, Ilaiyaraaja spoke at a commemorative event. He fondly recalled her aspiration to start an orchestra, a desire that resurfaced recently during his visit to Malaysia, where he enjoyed performances by various girl groups.

“Bhavatharini had always dreamed of starting a girls’ orchestra. Just days ago, while in Malaysia, I was inspired by the performances I witnessed, which reminded me of her dreams,” he shared.

With the determination to make her dream come true, Ilaiyaraaja revealed that the orchestra would comprise talented young girls, particularly school and college students aged under 15. He emphasized that the selection process will be rigorous, with auditions planned to identify the most skilled musicians.

This opportunity will be open to girls globally, ensuring a rich tapestry of talent. Ilaiyaraaja also mentioned that he had already identified two orchestras in Malaysia, noting that this is merely the beginning of a broader initiative.

His vision is to establish a musical ensemble that will continue to perform for years, bringing joy to audiences far and wide. “I aim for this orchestra to provide a musical feast for the masses indefinitely,” he expressed, with plans to share more details at an appropriate time.

Bhavatharini, Ilaiyaraaja’s beloved daughter, was a talented singer and National Award winner, celebrated for her soft, melodic voice. She recorded numerous hit songs in various languages and won the prestigious National Award for her song “Mayil Pola Ponnu Onnu…” from the Tamil film ‘Bharathi,’ composed by her father.

In addition to her singing talent, she made a significant impact as a music director and was actively working on compositions for three films at the time of her untimely passing in Sri Lanka while receiving medical treatment.

The incident took place when two friends were riding a bike from Kadampazhippuram to Mangalamkunnu ground to play cricket in the evening. While passing the Punjappadam school bus stop, they noticed a newly parked Range Rover car on the roadside.

Out of curiosity, they looked closely and saw Sanju Samson sitting in the driver’s seat, attending a video call. The friends turned their bike around and approached the car. Samson politely asked them to wait for a minute as he was on a call.

After finishing the call, Samson stepped out of the car and spoke to them. He then asked if they wanted to take a photo. The fan happily agreed and took out his phone, which had a damaged display with visible lines.

Noticing the issue, Samson asked him to wait for a moment. He opened the car trunk and took out a new phone. To the fan’s surprise, Samson handed over the phone and told him to use it instead, as his current phone had a display problem.

The unexpected gesture left the fan emotional and grateful. The incident has been widely appreciated online, with many praising Sanju Samson for his kindness and humility.
