We're back with another episode of Art With Anvi!

Stuthi discloses her favorite poets, dancers, novels, and much more during the Rapid Fire segment.

Then, Shreya sings a beautiful ghazal which will surely captivate the audience! Following this, we jump into the Q&A round where we discuss more about Shreya's TV show, "The Musical Mind", the convergence of music and medicine, specifically mental health, her role models, and much more!
