MUMBAI: Two weeks into the launch, MTV Hustle From Home has struck the chord with music lovers across India hosted by our favorite, VJ Gaelyn Mendonca along with the king and queen of Hip-hop – Raftaar and Raja Kumari. The show has opened doors to a host of upcoming and budding artists to make this lockdown phase more productive. This week, the show levels up with some stellar performances coupled with anecdotes on women empowerment by Raja Kumari and the ever-gallant Nikhil Chinapa who appears as a guest on the show.

While Nikhil echoes his voice to keep gender quotient away from the divine art of music, Raja Kumari focuses on how the genre should make more space for women. Sharing a personal anecdote on his wife, who inspires his music, Nikhil opines on how talent should be the only calling to nurture art. However, Raja Kumari strongly advocates that female participation continues to be low due to various reasons and the scenario must change in future.
