Career

[edit]

Aarya Ambekar's musical journey began early, as her grandmother, a classical vocalist, recognized her talent when she was just two years old. Aarya began formal music training at the age of five and a half under the guidance of her mother, Shruti Ambekar, and gave her first public performance at six.[4]

She rose to fame as a finalist in Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Marathi Li'l Champs in 2008, which served as a launchpad for her professional career.[5]

Aarya made her playback singing debut with the Marathi film Balgandharva (2011),[6] performing classical compositions, and has since sung for films like Rama Madhav and Ti Saddhya Kay Karte, receiving numerous awards. In addition to playback singing, she has released independent singles in Marathi and Hindi and performs live music shows across Maharashtra. Ambekar made her acting debut in the 2017 film Ti Saddhya Kay Karte, further establishing herself in the Marathi entertainment industry.

Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Marathi L'il Champs

[edit]

In 2008, Aarya was auditioned for the debut season of Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Marathi L'il Champs, a competitive music reality show organized by the Zee Marathi television channel. She was one of the final 50 who were selected from amongst several thousand children aged between 8 and 14 across Maharashtra. She made her way to the top 10 finalists and then to the Final 5 Mega-Finalists.

Aarya was popularly referred to as the "Pretty Young Girl", during the show.

Aarya sang a wide variety of songs in the competition. She created the record of receiving full marks from the judges many times. Aarya created an unbeatable record when she got वरचा नी (equivalent to 200%), for her beautifully sung "Paan Khae Saiyyan Hamaro", which remains unbroken in all the nine Schedules of SA RE GA MA PA and even after two schedules of SA RE GA MA PA for professional singers. Singer Hariharan was the celebrity judge for that episode.

Aarya was also awarded performer of the week in numerous episodes by eminent singing personalities like Mahalaxmi Iyer, Shreya Ghoshal, Hariharan etc. Aarya sings a wide variety of songs ranging from pure classical songs, Natyageet, Bhavgeet, Bhaktigeet to Marathi Chitrapat Sangeet, Hindi songs, folk songs, Lavanis as well.[5]

She sang "Aye Mere Watan Ke Logo" to pay tribute to those who died in the 2008 Mumbai attacks on 26 November 2008. She also performed the same song at Shivaji Park, Dadar in a program organised by Mumbai Police to pay tribute to the martyrs who laid down their lives fighting the terrorists in that attack. The song was originally sung by Lata Mangeshkar after the 1962 India-China War.

During the course of the program, Aarya was also awarded the Manik Varma Scholarship. She is the youngest singer to win the scholarship.
