Chinmayi learned ‘Judi Jodi’ an hour before performing it live
Chinmayi Sripaada performed ‘Judi Jodi’ live at the Chennai audio launch for Ramayana: Part 1.

What people are saying
I did learn this with probably an hour or so to give before going on stage and I am glad I had the opportunity.
Improvisations, to me, needs time to become friends with the song.
But all that I know- I love singing. And thats all that matters.
