one of the best way to interview an artist is to allow the artist to express ... which most of the media lacks.. thats why i like this interaction as she was allowed to express her opinion... wonderfully done ..

So, Korbin's brain works insanely amazing when he is not around people.. 😂 Unexpected interview during quarantine... Love Kaushiki Ma'am... ❤️❤️❤️

Her teaching skills are amazing because of her learning curiosity towards music, Kaushiki ji ,the legend of Indian classical❤🙏

This was more than interview. I have never seen any Indian artist express the connection between music, spirituality and philosophy in such a graceful way. This is a rare interview, very well done. Kaushiki Chakraborty is the reason I listen to Indian classical music these days. She is Devi Saraswati, the goddess of Indian music. Great job OSR. Keep it up.

Wow...I did not expect this conversation to be so deep. That was engrossing.

She has the sweetest voice I’ve ever heard. And she’s is equally sweet in person. I got her autograph this January at one of her concerts.. such amazing person

This lady is not an ordinary classical singer but a teacher of very high quality..... the more you listen to her explaining or lecture the more you realise how much more you have to learn....wow.....

Totally floored by this interview. Manna from Heavens.. She is so humble, intelligent, talanted, articulate...oh what a personality

OSR is going places. In true sense "Taking India To The World". Definitely there best interview. Loved how beautiful and thoughtful Madam Kaushiki Chakraborty is. She has my ♥️

"I have human limits, but the source inside us can be enhanced to limitless " My god!!! What an interview! Perfect combination of talent, Humbleness , sweetness and the wisdom.

OMG! She is so articulate and absolutely clear & precise!She has managed to explain the entire philosophy of India & Spirituality so effortlessly while explaining the basics of Indian Classical Music.

Her communication skills is just fantastic. my god.

My God she sounds like a teacher , when she becomes one , her students will be blessed to get such thoughtful and insightful teacher.

What a beautiful personality? How articulate is she about everything? A perfect artist. Hats off to you Ma'am.

Let's all take a moment and acknowledge the efforts 'our stupid reactions' family is doing to bring Indian music and culture to the world. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We Love you so much! 🙏🇮🇳♥️

This is perhaps one of best interviews I have ever watched. She spoke with so passion and insight, it's simply amazing. Also kudos to OSR to let her speak and maintain that continuity. I couldn't skip a second of this 51 mins. Clip. Brilliant.

She was born into her art. Her father is Pandit Ajoy Chakraborty, one of the greatest living classical singers. I have had the honour of hearing father and daughter sing together... this would have been in the early 2000s. what an evening it was!

That's not just an interview, that is a realization of someone's lifetime experience.

I wish my science teacher was explaining things like her

This is not an interview. It is an insight into the mind of a humble, intelligent musical prodigy.

Interviewer: Hey Kaushiki, can you tell me about your passion for music? Kaushiki: I can do this all day 😎. She's the Captain America of music; never gonna be tired 😁

She's wanting to speak, express and have a chat! there's not many who would talk with as much grace and purity the way she did. It's mostly her speaking and others just listening... Ah! a morning started right.

She is so grounded and humble and yet has profound knowledge about music...... Hats off to OSR for doing such a wonderful interview...... It's raw and entertaining as well.....

Okay but how well spoken she really is. She is so intelligent, is literally a master at music, very well spoken, has an incredible voice, is pretty and such a wise soul. All this in one being. God has his favorites and it shows.

Wow man these are the talents that are worth interviewing,never thought you would interview such great talents. Until now i only heard her voice but never saw any of her interviews. Rick and korbin you guys are doing great job. I'd suggest you should also interview kalki koechlin.

This is the deepest conversation I've ever heard. The most beautiful interview ever.

Hey, I'm a Carnatic musician here. I would like to state that not everything in Carnatic music is structured. There is a creative space in Carnatic music as well! It's not like Carnatic music is so structured and rigid. When she said that Carnatic music is structured, she meant that there are more scales and compositions. She didn't mean to say that Carnatic music doesn't have creative part. In fact, in a Carnatic music concert, the most important piece is the one with creativity. Hindustani style is much liberation in terms of how things are rendered. For example: In a Hindustani composition, a singer can change the scale, change or ignore lyrics. But in a Carnatic performance, you cannot change the lyrics or emotions set by the composer. But, you can do the creative part after you singing the composition once, and then change the way you sing. This is done because in Carnatic music, we have a principle that we should not dilute the emotions and lyrics of the composer. So we sing the composition completely, and then we improvise. That's what she meant by saying it's structured. Cheers!!

In a long long time I haven't seen anyone interview an artist with questions made of clarity and great intent of learning. Even mainstream media lacks such a quality these days. Eric and Korbin - thanks a mil

OSR got a priceless ,deep, rare lesson on psychology and music at the same time ... ..Now respect of Indian classical music in Rick and korbin's mind would reach new great heights....kaushiki chakroborty is great singer and so down to earth person and her intelligence is off the charts...that's what is indian classical Music...more you know about it more You realise how less you know about it......I am proud of India🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

'There are mistakes and imperfections because that is how the nature is'.... WOW such beautiful words😍

OKAY PEOPLE MUST ADMIT THIS IS ONE OF THE GREATEST INTERVIEW AND SHE IS THE MOST HEART TOUCHING HUMAN BEING OF OUR TIME. ❤❤ LOVE YOU RICK AND KORBIN FOR TAKING THIS INTERVIEW WITH KAWSHIKI MAAM

I was fortunate to listen to her concert in Chennai. My 7-year-old daughter just loved it. It was a memorable experience when all youngsters stood and applauded her when she entered the podium. heavenly experience

She has such an aura about her that it brings a subconscious smile when you hear her singing or speaking. You guys are building a huge and strong bridge between cultures.

She is a wonderful representative of Indian culture, philosophy, spirituality and music. She is so amazingly articulated. Her musical talent and art is beyond words. She makes our soul happy, God bless her n her music. Blessed!!!

That was one heck of an interview..you just let her talk without interfering...she was just fluid in articulating things which are very difficult to articulate..now I am a fan of her articulating skills..😃 Wow!!

Such an intelligent artist who is able to express herself beautifully outside of her music. What a talent! There is such depth and precision in their performance compared to western musicians.

Kaushiki you are the quintessential bengali woman...you are our pride...you are talented as maa Saraswati and beautiful like Lakshmi 🙏🙏💘

I had no idea, I would end up watching this entire 51min video.. This is insane.. Never knew Kaushiki is such a brilliant speaker. Was a fan of her music, but after the interview, I've become a fan of KAUSHIKI CHAKRABORTY. This wouldn't have been possible without, Rick and Korbin. You guys are doing unimaginable things which no one ever has. Lots of ❤

This is one of the most enlightening and pleasing videos you guys have made till date. Kudos !

It was not an interview. It's the lesson. She deserves to be known as the "Pandit". Needs to have certain knowledge to fully understand her deliberation. Great intellectual individual. An asset to the music arena.

Rick's expressions are gold... Almost on the verge of breaking down face to face with a true maestro.

To be very honest this is not feel like an interview.. it's feel like a teacher teaching her two students about music and spirituality 😂 but in any case this is sooo awesome ❤❤

This has to be one of the best interviews I have even came across. Wholesome

She is not only a singer but also a philosopher. Guys did an amazing interview. They let her speak. Traditional media would lack that.

What a TALENT and What a PERSON !!! She is a gift to the world. I was a Fan ,but after hearing her speak I am a die hard fan. Humbleness and Intelligence woven into one.

OMG. This was one of the best interviews. The way she talks and articulates and how accomodating she is. What an amazing human being and a woman..i love her so much🥺❤ In my wildest dreams, I would love to be one of her hand picked students. And I would practice 24 hours a day just to keep up with her level of teaching and artistry. And give it more than everything i have. 🙏🏼

She is our National treasure..So articulate and humble, and with such command over her music.. but, we need to thank her father Pandit Ajoy Chakraborthy for training her and preserving the legacy of the Patiala Gharana for future generations..thank you to you both for this awesome interview...

Oh goddd the best ever interview i have heard...she is super Talented and a real Artist...truely a gift for entire world

I have been away from India for 30 years...but India cannot be taken away from me. I have no musical talents other than singing in the shower, but I used to listen and watch Indian classical music on Doordarshan, almost had to force myself to do it, since I had no understanding, but just the sense that what I was hearing was the result of centuries of evolution of human artistry. Kaushikiji makes a very valid point when she says that people like Rick and Korbin being much more relatable to the present generation are doing a great service to Indians and to the world by venturing into Indian culture with the curiosity of a child, totally unknowing but discovering a hidden treasure that when shown to the world can only produce harmony and peace and love. And yes, I will be there to watch when Kaushikiji visits UCLA. Thanks a lot, all three of you.

What an intelligent, talented, passionate, grounded, sweet and beautiful human being! Listening to her speak is enlightening and a joy! Thank you OSR for bringing to us this engrossing and brilliant interaction with Ms. Kaushiki Chakraborty!

Her explanation sounds so perfect. Students who will train under her will be lucky.

She's Such a great personality and believe one of the gem which we have ♥️very proud of her

Wow! Normally I'll get disinterested tho hear such big answers, but she kept me glued. Such a pleasant personality. God bless you

Totally unexpected... She is one of the finest classical singer in India. Daughter of legendary Singer Pandit Ajay Chakrabarty.

This is her life time experience which she could express so beautifully. I thank both the Americans for allowing her to share the facts and struggle behind of becoming an artist of her calibre.

One more thing... Thanks a lot to Korbin and Rick for conducting the interview so well. I always enjoy all the 'Our Stupid Reactions' videos, but this one was different in which both of them gave enough time to Kaushiki to elaborate her answers and get the best out of her. Best luck and appreciate.

The best part you were listening and didn't interrupt her.

Even her "ahhh" sound was in 'Sur'....during the conversation..

I just came to watch for like 2 mins, but they way she is explaining everything I kept on watching did not even realize i watched for almost an hour

This is the most amazing interview. It literally encompasses a life's lesson, for teachers, students, parents, kids, bosses, co-workers, a religious/ spiritual environment -- no matter who and where you are. I can't Thank You both for conducting this interview with Kaushiki ji and sharing with the rest of the world.

Oh my god!!! I have had the divine pleasure of attending a few of her concerts and she is absolutely amazing...so humble and sweet but soooo mind blowing!!! I love her ❤️❤️❤️

When a 51 minute interview feels only a few seconds long ... Kudos Team OSR ... and Godspeed Kaushiki Ma'am !

She is just beaming with joy and radiance.

Ted talk stage should grace themselves by inviting her..

This is an iconic moment in the history and growth of OSR. She is a supreme musician. Thank you Rick and Korbin for patiently listening, for respecting, for allowing her to express and articulate herself so very beautifully. She is a pride of India, still so underrated for her extraordinary capabilities as a singer. Thank you so much for this.

I don't know how many you I will say this, but do am so proud of being Bengali right now. Serious I am sitting here about to cry. 😂

I knew her as an incredible artist, singer, before, but this gave such a special look into her personality, I'm blown away. She is such an inspiration for ANY artist, regardless of their craft. Korbin and Rick posed wonderful questions (some, I really wanted know her views on)...waiting for more such wonderful interviews! :) ❤

Best interview. Everyone had their space and time to express without interruptions. Many Congratulations

One of the best videos to emerge from your channel. Keep up the good work. God bless you!

This was truly a brilliant interview. I was completely involved as it was immensely intriguing...Rick was spiritually gobsmacked...Hahaha... So did I.. She was very articulating..such a beautiful soul...GodBless.. Jai Hind

That interview touched me deeply, wanted it to go on forever, heart became so heavy with the purity of thoughts that I just wanted to sit still for a moment and let it soak in, thank you OSR.

One of the most enlightening interviews ever heard. Just looking at the longing the know more in both of you and the humbleness with which she is explaining brings tears to me seeing the joy of learning.

A master willing to open up and two interviewers who were like a sponge. This interview was a thing of beauty - Erudite, Passionate, otherwordly..Kudos

She is such a beautiful person...wonderful interview.

She is a perfect blend of a singer, a philopher, a teacher, a mentor, a motivator, in one word I call her "SARASWATI" who appeared physically and talking through a mic.

Expected to see an intervew. Got a master class by a great teacher. You know when you get emotional for no reason that the obect of that emotion is divine.Thank you.

The way she answers to the questions itself has music in it.. wow!

Your Kaushik's video reaction was the reason i started following OSR. This video makes me so happy ❤️ Such a organic and deep conversation between the artist and the interviewers. Thank you for whosoever made this interview possible. You guys are making this quarantine a little bearable. Love u guys!

Very inspirational and talented ... The way she answered each question posed, is incredible... A good ambassador of Indian music.... Very knowledgeable .... Best wishes..

A divine singer. Such a pleasure to hear her. This not an interview, this is an education on Hindustani music. What depth and knowledge in her words. May you live long and healthy Kaushiki and bless us with great music.

Interesting to see the worlds oldest civilization interacting with the worlds newest civilization . Really appreciate your initiative to alteast initiate the interaction .. God bless you both

Wow these 51 minutes were just humanity at it's best.

that's your best video till now... Can't express how overwhelmed i am. God bless u both @rick and @korbin

I’ve always enjoyed her singing, but her talks are great as well. TED talk please or some talk series. I can hear her for hours, singing or talking.

OSR has taken this channel beyond just reactions to content. The growth trajectory is great as is the direction. 💚

Had goosebumps listening to her talk about the philosophy. The silence before the first "Sa". Beautifully explained.

Adults listen to Shreya Ghoshal.....Legends listen to Kaushiki Chakraborty ❤️

WOW! What an amazing interview! What an amazing human! What an amazing student who is truly a teacher! It was like a Ted talk! You just want to listen, learn and know more. I never thought I would watch it till the end, but I did. Thank you guys for such a wonderful presentation.

I'm in heaven!!! One of the most thought provoking, satisfying experience!!

So intelligent are the interviewers and interviewed . It was sublime. Smt Koushiki possess such a wise head for music and articulation she sounds musical while answering . So wonderful is her voice. Lord's chosen creation .

One of the best interviews I ever witnessed. You both are bringing two vast cultures closer! Letting her speak and just listening to her as students just raised the bar of respect! Perfect start of the day. Thanks buddies!

Woohh, golden words. And the way she talks, so calm and composed. I see Saraswati in her and I'm not exaggerating. Amazingly talented, mannered, pretty and when she sits with her instrument in a saree, damn! She can be a great motivational speaker too I guess! Her and her father, Ajoy Chakraborty who is a Padma Bhushan awardee, their house is just 800m - 1km away from mine. Btw great interview, you folks interview way better than our own media houses.

Wow! Blown away. I love the way she expresses her thoughts. What a deep and lovely thinker. Thank you for posting this and sharing.

One of the best interviews seen ever... Rick n Korbin you guys surely are making us learn more about our land...

I didn't realize this was almost an hour!? i lost track of time..hearing her speak was so insightful. Great job with the interview guys. Really well put together.

What an amazing interview! It is so smart of you guys to just let her talk without too many interruptions. What articulation. And you did a great job on the questions too! Loved this one!

This should not be free, I think students will pay anything to get all this knowledge from her. Best interview till now OSR 🙏😅

I grew up in the very house which was once her Guru, Jnan (pronounced 'Gyan') Prakash Ghosh's residence. It was converted to a hostel for doctors (housestaff) of a Govt. Hospital sometime in the late 50s or 60s I guess, and fortunately, I spent my entire childhood(my dad was a doctor in that Govt hospital) there (first 15 years of my life)😎. I have heard stories of her father (Pandit Ajay Chakraborty) and Guruji practicing and composing magical pieces in those very premises way back in the 50s. Can proudly say I watched both her and her father performing right in the little courtyard right below my home back in 2001, at a program organized as a tribute to her Guru. My father played a huge role in making it happen, in spite of many, many obstacles from many quarters, in collaboration with Pandit Jnan Prakash Ghosh's family. 🙂 Although I haven't achieved much in life, I feel blessed to have grown up at such a historical place. 🙂❤️. We had to leave that place in 2006, when my father got transferred, it felt like a part of me had died. I miss that place like hell. 😔

She is so eloquent. I think it would be extremely difficult even for artistes of her caliber to explain what she did as lucidly, and succinctly with so few words.

There is so much to learn in this video. I am taking notes :) “The silence before the start is truth, purity ,prayer ...Brahm”
