Mumbai, Feb 7 (IANS) Music composer and singer Shankar Mahadevan has expressed his gratitude with a heart-felt note after his and Zakir Hussain's Shakti band Shakti won the Best Global Music Album award at the Grammys 2024. He said that this is the moment from which he can say that dreams do come true.

I never imagined that a band from where I have learnt my music and my musical aesthetics would be the band with whom I would eventually perform and win a Grammy. This is the moment from which I can easily say that dreams do come true.
