When Swaraag performed in Delhi the audience were crazy to listen to Punjabi tappe and Nusrat saab compositions. Some of them say 'we used to dance regularly on DJ but you please continue with your style song which we can sit and listen'."

We are trying to find a place where no one's there. But as time passed all went back to normal. We have started travelling since June 21 following all the precautions," he adds about the band travelling for a performance post Covid.
