The ace singer also took to his social media handles where he shared a thank you note. His post on Instagram reads, \u201cWe did it. 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. Shakti was a dream which came true! thank you almighty for making this happen! It\u2019s truly this moment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018This Moment\u2019, the group\u2019s first studio album in more than 45 years, was released to critical acclaim in June 2023. At the Grammys, Mahadevan, who took the stage alongside Rajagopalan and Selvaganesh, gave a shout-out to McLaughlin and Hussain. While McLaughlin gave the ceremony a miss, Hussain was backstage as he had won another Grammy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe miss you John ji. Zakir Hussain, he just had another Grammy today. Thank you boys, God, family, friends and India. We are proud of you, India,\u201d said Mahadevan in the speech, dedicating the win to his wife Sangeeta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
