Maachis and one day to the surprise of his parents,
Diwakar sang a classical
number from the film Maachis with all the nuances of classical raga notes of the
song. When his parents saw this great talent of Diwakar, they decided to make him
a singing star in future. This is the reason why they would like to spend maximum
time on Diwakar to pursue this goal. At early age,
