Ever since I was a kid, I’ve found myself searching. Searching for meaning, for understanding and trying to find the true essence of who I am. To make sense of all the knowledge that’s out there and how I could use that to be the best version of myself; physically, emotionally, spiritually and professionally. Through my own experiences and through conversations with inspiring people and their authentic stories, I’ve realised that the answers to some of the most challenging problems we face in our lives lie in very simple messages. So join me on a journey of discovery where I speak to real people, with real stories sharing real insights. I hope that you too might find something to help you in your journey of growth. I’m Sanjiv and you’re listening to my podcast Just Another Lens.
S2. E3 - The Untold Story of Harry Anand - Hitmaker, Healer, Human
If you grew up on the soundtracks of early 2000s India, chances are Harry Anand’s music was playing in the background.
In this episode of Just Another Lens, I sit down with the iconic music producer, composer, songwriter and singer behind some of the biggest pop hits and remixes of our time — including Kaanta Laga, Kaliyon Ka Chaman, and Chadti Jawani. With over 250 music videos, 3 MTV Immies Awards, 5 Bollywood Music Awards, and an MTV Asia nomination for Best Album & Video, Harry didn’t just make music, he moved a generation.
But behind the chart-topping beats is a story most fans haven’t heard. Harry opens up about the loss of his mother, the silence that followed, and the deep, personal transformation that changed the way he sees life, creativity, and legacy.
This one’s for anyone who danced to his tracks and anyone now learning to dance through the ups and downs of their own journey.
