DJ Ganesh chose an unconventional path professionally, but his success story is evident with the several gigs he has done for many A-list celebs in India.
In a recent conversation with Pinkvilla, DJ Ganesh enthusiastically shared an anecdote from his life that involves Shah Rukh Khan. The young lad remembered the time he passed by King Khan’s landmark bungalow in Mumbai – Mannat – and dreamed about playing his music for the legend himself. Back then, Ganesh did not quite know that he was manifesting his reality, for, this March, he was at the Mannat premises in charge of the music for a bash thrown by SRK and Gauri Khan. One could instantly recognize the pride and contentment in Ganesh’s voice while sharing the story, having achieved what once might have felt like a far-fetched dream. But then, what are dreams if not far-fetched? And in all these years, Ganesh has played in several international shows from London to Dubai, showcasing Bollywood music all around the world in more than 40 countries!
Like most inspiring success stories, whether in print or on the big screens, DJ Ganesh’s journey began with humble beginnings. He did not have the most privileged education to back him up in a country that focuses so much on making doctors, engineers, astronauts, lawyers, and IAS officers in its classrooms. Instead, before Ganesh became ‘DJ Ganesh’ he did quite a few odd jobs to support his family. This was before he found his true calling in disc-jockeying.
But there surely must be some divine intoxication in following one’s passion against all odds, for the fruits of hard work, talent, and resilience are too good to give up. Take DJ Ganesh, for instance – the man who has now become the go-to person to set the party mood for all A-list events in the shiny and glamorous world of Bollywood. In the last week itself, Ganesh has Dj-ed for 5 events. That’s 5 A-list parties in 7 days! One could only imagine the demand he is pulling in.
