Panditji was craving for liquor and to have it he suddenly disappeared with two of his students. All were astonished as to were Panditji has gone? There was a big problem in front of the organisers, whom to present in front of 20 thousand listeners present in Pandal. The organizers some how persuaded Raees Khan to play the sitar, so that the program can continue. https://cheerrss.com/when-bhimsen-joshi-left-the-stage-for-a-booze/?lang=en
