Singer Shaan recently spoke about one of the most personal aspects of his life during his appearance on Komal Nahta’s Game Changers: The Music Series. Known for his soulful voice and memorable songs, the singer opened up about the special bond he continues to share with his late mother even after her passing.
Shaan revealed that his mother passed away in 2022, but he still feels her presence in his professional life. Before performing at shows, he makes it a point to pray and seek her blessings. For him, the ritual has become an important part of preparing for a performance.
The singer admitted that on a couple of occasions he became so occupied with last-minute arrangements that he forgot to follow the ritual. Interestingly, he felt that those particular shows did not go as well as expected.
“I Always Pray and Take Her Blessings”
Talking about his mother, Shaan said that after losing her, he developed the habit of praying and taking her blessings before every show.
He acknowledged that some people might call it superstition, but for him it is deeply personal. Shaan explained that when he feels he has not received his mother's blessings, he believes the performance does not work in the same way.
This emotional connection shows how much his mother continues to influence him, even though she is no longer physically present.
For Shaan, it is not simply about following a routine before going on stage. It appears to be a way of keeping his mother close to him while doing something that has been an important part of his life for decades.
Shaan’s Bond With His Mother
The singer's comments also offer a glimpse into how deeply his mother's presence was connected with his life and career.
Shaan has spoken about his mother's death in the past as well. In an earlier conversation with Bollywood Hungama, he had recalled the shock of losing her and said that she passed away quietly in her sleep.
That loss clearly continues to affect him. His latest comments suggest that music and live performances have become one of the ways through which he maintains an emotional connection with her.

Why Her Blessings Matter Before Every Show
For performers, preparation before stepping onto a stage can involve rehearsals, sound checks and several technical arrangements. For Shaan, however, there is another personal step that has become equally important.
He likes to seek his mother's blessings.
The singer explained that when he gets caught up in last-minute work, there are times when he forgets to do it. He recalled that two such shows did not work according to his expectations.
Whether someone sees this as faith, emotion or simply a personal ritual, the importance of the practice for Shaan is clear.
His belief also reflects the way people often continue to include loved ones in their lives after losing them. A small ritual can become a source of comfort, confidence and emotional strength.
Game Changers Brings Out Shaan’s Personal Side
Shaan appeared on the latest episode of Game Changers: The Music Series, hosted by Komal Nahta.
The podcast focuses on singers, composers and other important figures from the Indian music industry, allowing guests to discuss their creative journeys and experiences beyond their popular work.
In Shaan's case, the conversation touched upon not only his career but also the personal experiences that continue to influence his music.
The singer has previously discussed his musical upbringing and early career on the same podcast. In an earlier episode, he described himself as the “weakest link” to music in his family despite eventually becoming one of India's well-known playback singers.
A Career Built Around Music
Shaan has been associated with Hindi film music for several decades and has delivered songs that remain popular with audiences.
His voice became particularly recognisable during the late 1990s and 2000s, when songs such as ‘Tanha Dil’, ‘Musu Musu Hasi’ and ‘Behti Hawa Sa Tha Woh’ became favourites among listeners.
He has also worked across different languages and musical formats, while regularly performing live for audiences.
That makes his comments about forgetting his mother's blessings before shows particularly interesting. Live performances remain an important part of his career, and the emotional preparation behind them is something audiences rarely get to hear about.
His Recent Work in Batwara 1947
On the professional front, Shaan recently lent his voice to ‘Kahaan Chale Gaye Ho Ram’ for Rajkumar Santoshi's film Batwara 1947.
The film stars Sunny Deol, Shabana Azmi, Preity G Zinta and Karan Deol.
The song adds another recent project to Shaan's long musical journey. Even after years in the industry, he continues to work on film songs while also performing live.
His latest revelation shows that behind the professional confidence seen on stage, there is a deeply personal emotional ritual that remains important to him.
Music and Memories Remain Connected
For Shaan, remembering his mother is not limited to personal moments at home. Her memory has become part of his relationship with music and performance.
Every time he prays before a show, he appears to be carrying a small piece of that relationship with him onto the stage.
The singer's admission is also a reminder that artists, despite their public image and years of experience, often have private traditions that help them deal with pressure and emotions.
In Shaan's case, his mother's blessings have become one such source of strength.
A Personal Ritual That Continues
Shaan's story is less about superstition and more about the emotional connection people maintain with those they have lost.
He knows his mother is no longer physically there to watch his performances, but seeking her blessings allows him to feel connected to her before he steps onto the stage.
That simple ritual has now become a part of his professional life. And while audiences may only see the singer walking onto the stage with confidence, Shaan knows that, for him, the performance begins a little earlier—with a prayer and a thought for his mother.
His appearance on Game Changers: The Music Series offered fans a rare glimpse into that private side of the singer and showed that behind some of his most confident performances lies a deeply personal memory that he continues to carry with him.
