He’s amongst very few musicians who support and encourage immature talents with his honest comments amid judging a popular show Indian Idol on Sony Entertainment Television – Sony LIV
Apart being a legendary musician, Vishal Dadlani is in love with paragliding.
In an interaction with the media people, Vishal Dadlani said, “Other than being an incredible adventure sport, paragliding is something that allows me to be very deeply and closely connected to Nature. It teaches you patience, humility, gratitude and empathy. You are always on the lookout for other pilots who are flying with you. It helps build a sense of trust. The ability to fly with birds, reach into the sky and experience the texture of a cloud – you can’t find that anywhere else! So, paragliding teaches you how to be constantly aware of and grateful for everything that we have and we tend to take for granted. It’s the greatest experience of my life. I’ve played concerts to 150,000 people, but even compared to that, paragliding is right up there. I feel everyone should try it.”
