His mother’s dream was to become a singer before her marriage, but due to restrictions from her family, she couldn’t fulfill her dream, so now Gaurav wants to fulfill her dream. Also, his mother, Bharti Poptani, released a Sindhi bhajan ‘Akhe jo Bhajan’ on YouTube. While learning to play the tabla, singing classes also used to take place there and gradually Gaurav started getting fascinated by singing and learning it, too. He used to learn Hindustani classical singing, wherein he learned a few Raags and applied that to his Sindhi singing journey.

Being a self-trained Sindhi singer was a challenging journey for him. Gaurav also won a few singing competitions held in Akola, where his name was published in the newspaper, and that’s how he became famous.  In 2023, he released his two Sindhi songs, “Sindhi Mithdi Boli” and “Chaliye Jo Melo,” on Spotify and YouTube.
