Parthiv Gohil won't talk about his personal life

Not every singer gets hand-picked by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, and not every singer who is doing fairly well would tell you that, “Bollywood has never been my ultimate goal”.
But Parthiv Gohil lives life in a different lane. The versatile singer, whose melodious voice took him from Bhavnagar to the Maximum City, was in Ahmedabad for a promotional event recently.
“I am happy and very satisfied with my journey so far.I never had Bollywood in mind as my ultimate target. I wanted to go along with the flow,” says Parthiv. “I get to sing classical, folk and film songs too and to collaborate with acclaimed artists. In addition, I receive people’s appreciation. What else one would want?” asks the singer.
Parthiv shot to fame when he was spotted by Ismail Darbar and Sanjay Leela Bhansali during a live performance, and subsequently got an opportunity to work in Devdas, and then debuted as a lead singer in Saawariya. Although the film didn’t work, but the song Yun Shabnami went on to become a hit.
Talking about the turning point in his life, he shares about the days that he spent with a top volunteer organization working to popularise Indian classical music, “Not only did I get a chance to work with some music maestros, but during this period I also found my real voice.” He also mentions his early days in Mumbai, spent with Anandji (of Kalyanji-Anandji), as important days. “During this period, I got my hang on light vocal music. Anandji bhai used to tell me that these are the times of disposable products. I learnt a lot about how the industry works.”
Parthiv, who works extensively in the Gujarati film industry would not agree with the view that Gujarati composers are not producing good music that can appeal to the youth. “I can tell you that there is a lot of good work happening in our film industry so far as music is concerned. Sometimes I think that we Gujaratis are not appreciative of what is our own,” says Parthiv. He adds that the Gujarati film music and folk scenario may seem a little fragile but he still has hopes. “I make sure that I sing Gujarati folk or other regional songs in my live concerts,” he says.
One gets to hear a lot about his happy married life with TV actress Mansi Parekh going wrong. But when asked about it, the singer refrains from making any statements. Prod him a little and he says, “If you have heard rumours then all of it may not be wrong. But remember these rumours haven’t come either from Mansi or me. Talking about my personal life doesn’t fall in my comfort zone and I have no comments about anything related to my personal life.” Smoke will be out anyways if the wind catches the fire, till then you can listen to happy tunes from him in his upcoming Bollywood projects like Sahib, Biwi and Gangster.
