My dose of pop culture came from music videos on MTV and Channel V and I gushed over locally grown stars like Alisha Chinai or Bombay Vikings. They were our homegrown popstars. But none among them had the appeal of Falguni Pathak.\u00a0<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you were glued to music channels like I was, the background score to your adolescent years was in all likelihood, Pathak\u2019s \u201cMaine Payal Hai Chankai\u201d and \u201cMeri Chunar Udd Udd Jaaye\u201d. My <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pov\/muslim-family-weddings-nikaah\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cousin<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and I would stand in front of our boxy Onida TV and try to match the dance steps \u2013 she\u2019d borrow my mumma\u2019s dupatta; I\u2019d just follow her lead. We were six. Our little performance became a ritual of sorts. My uncles and aunts would ask us to do a Falguni and two of us would just need a bit of coaxing to dish out some moves. Even today when I meet relatives at <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pop-culture\/shaadi-mein-zaroor-aana-arranged-marriage-rajkumar-rao-kriti-harbanda\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">shaadis<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, all my childhood tales begin with, \u201cWe still remember your Falguni Pathak performances.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s been more than 20 years, but even today the place Pathak holds in our lives has not faded. Definitely not for <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/grub\/gujaratis-despise-non-vegetarians-and-support-vegetarian-food-habits\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gujju families<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> the world over. Pathak after all transformed the way we garba. Before she exploded into public consciousness, Navratri celebrations were a relatively low-key affair for middle-class families in Mumbai \u2013 restricted to dancing in the building compound to songs that were played on a screechy loudspeaker.\u00a0<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But sometime in the early \u201990s that changed as the folk singer from Vadodara arrived and in no time had the city dancing to her tunes. Pathak had the power to draw crowds in Mumbai that perhaps no one could back in the day, with the exception of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/politics\/life-after-balasaheb-thackeray-why-shiv-sena\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bal Thackeray<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for his Dussehra rally in Shivaji Park. Garba culture peaked in the city\u2019s western suburbs as this \u201cGujju\u201d tradition became a fashion. Holding a season pass to the \u201cFalguni venue\u201d for Navratri meant immediate bragging rights.\u00a0<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the advent of colour TV in many homes in the \u201990s, Pathak\u2019s live performances were telecast on cable networks across Maharashtra and Gujarat. It was these broadcasts, with their widespread audience, that truly catapulted Pathak into the league of larger-than-life superstars. For Gujjus, it was like tuning into our version of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/humour\/isha-ambanis-wedding-sangeet-anand-piramal-beyonce-mukesh-srk-salman\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Coachella<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span>\n\n<blockquote class=\"quote--center\"><p>Holding a season pass to the \u201cFalguni venue\u201d for Navratri meant immediate bragging rights.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pathak became as synonymous with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/culture\/navratri-baroda-indian-festivals\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Navratri<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> as the flamboyant dhotis, cholis, and decorated dandiya sticks. For suburban kids at the peak of their hormonal angst who viewed Navratri less as a celebration of song-and-dance and more as an excuse to meet their crush late at night, Pathak\u2019s songs provided the soundtrack to their first brushes with romance. In this nine-day period of revelry, whether you were sharing iced lollies or riding pillion with bae on your papa\u2019s Bajaj Chetak, it was Pathak playing cupid.\u00a0<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Her songs covered themes of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/love-and-sex\/puppy-love-relationships-romance\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">teenage romance<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, forbidden love; her tunes always remained the epitome of desi femininity. Yet her androgynous style \u2013 mirrored shirts, jackets, trousers, and boots \u2013 was pathbreaking. Her greatest legacy as an artist remains in the fact that not only does her music empower countless teenage girls to embrace their femininity and backless cholis, but through her music videos and personal brand, Pathak has also<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/agentsofishq.com\/falguni\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> empowered millions of conflicted teenagers<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to wear whatever the fuck they wanted without <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/soundstudiesblog.com\/2017\/10\/23\/the-queer-sound-of-the-dandiya-queen\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">conforming to what society deems ok<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. At a time when heteronormativity defined the Indian pop music scene, it\u2019s especially noteworthy that Pathak never chose to reinvent herself or her music.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By the late \u201990s, Pathak had become a huge star, the undisputed Queen of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/social-commentary\/navratri-sex-gujarat-the-mating-dance-of-the-gujarati-sunny-leone-garba-condoms\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dandiya<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. I\u2019d hear older cousins and neighbours speak about dancing the night away to her intoxicating singing. And I wanted in, but I knew no amount of pestering would make my parents buy me a ticket. I was too young.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And then it happened. In 2000, my school announced that the annual dandiya night would be graced by Pathak. (Her sister-in-law was one of our school\u2019s senior staffers.) At eight, I was going to attend my first-ever \u201clive\u201d <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/music\/u2-rockband-rock-concert\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">concert<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and the hype was real.\u00a0<\/span>\n\n<blockquote class=\"quote--center\"><p>At a time when heteronormativity defined the Indian pop music scene, it\u2019s especially noteworthy that Pathak never chose to reinvent herself or her music.<\/p><\/blockquote> \n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dressed in her trademark shirt and trousers, Pathak was unabashedly herself. The head-banging between verses was Ozzy Ozbourne-like and she genuinely looked like she was having a blast up there. My <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pov\/in-memory-of-friends-1990-documentary-1984-pogrom-sikhs-india\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">friends<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and I had the time of our life, dancing, swirling, and twirling as Pathak sang one hit song after another. It was like being in an open-air disco. What a night that was; I remember it like it happened yesterday.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A classmate recently shared a Facebook memory of being handed a Best Solo Dancer award at our school\u2019s garba night by Pathak. You\u2019d think after so many years, with so much exposure to international music, the Pathak craze might have died down. But his comment section was rife with Gujjus tagging their relatives \u2013 \u201cFalguni ne jo! (Look at Falguni!)&#8221;. That Polaroid is for keeps and my friend will probably make a killing if he decides to sell it on Amazon.\u00a0<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today, organisers are rumoured to pay the veteran singer crores for one night. Yet, Pathak\u2019s legacy transcends mere numbers. A show headlined by Falguni Pathak doesn\u2019t just guarantee dancers moving with more furore or the dandiya sticks clashing with a crisper thud, it\u2019s something more intangible. It\u2019s got something to do with the audible buzz around the garba ground when she isn\u2019t on stage or is pausing between songs to down some water. It\u2019s the anticipation that builds just before the stadium realises the Queen is about to take the mic again. It\u2019s the number of older spectators, our baas and dadas, who will choose to sit on the dusty red mats on the ground, just because it\u2019s \u201caapdi Falguni\u201d. Her legacy reverberates at every golawala\u2019s stall in the catering shamiana, where enthusiastic Gujju teens exclaim just like I did when I saw her on stage years ago: \u201cTeh Falguni ne joyu? Su mast lagey chhe na? (Did you see Falguni? Doesn\u2019t she look great?!)\u201d\u00a0<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Perhaps there is no way of gauging the overall impact Falguni Pathak has had on pop culture. But to me, she will always remain one of the great unifiers of Gujaratis from Andheri to America. A little less than <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/humour\/five-reasons-pm-narendra-modi\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Modi ji<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
