Time and again we will see an artist manifest talent in other fields .. actors that are artists, writers or scientists, musicians who write, dancers who are also musicians and ... a common theme is often scary intelligence. It is all part of something wonderful.

I analysed what was going through the minds of the show presenters and it was so much interesting.... it broke laugh inside with no expression outside....

[@shameekd9192]

She has been an internet sensation for a couple of years. AR Raheman and Shruti Hassam recognized her only when west recognized her. It clearly indicates that Indians need western approval.

[@NagarajanS-e3x]

Very nice. Awesome.

[@pursuitofcat]

Whoa mind blowing. Her intelligence. Her communication skills are far beyond a high IQ 40 year olds these days. A true gem! India - protect her at all cost!

Incredible India 🇮🇳🇮🇳

[@subashsharma2853]

Wow Few people know that some of the best metal guitar plays use Konnakol or a variant to help with very complex guitar rhythms. Indian classical music changed my guitar journey completely

[@krishnadaskizhepat4870]

Maya🎉🎉

[@shirot8423]

She is definitely a reincarnation of a famous guitar player... this talent is serious ... ❤🎉

[@Moodyoctacoolfire]

Just can't believe she's just turned eleven.

[@sundarraj350]

God Bless ❤🌹

[@mahanarasimhan1867]

Mind boggling

[@grumpymonk7704]

Well you should hear her geek-ing-out on Adam John's guitar playing in Tool songs in her KZbin videos, after nailing the songs herself, that too when she was nine or something, quite unbelievable. I sincerely hope she continues her passion with heavy metal, its a very powerful form of music.

[@runganathannaidu4008]

PROUD TO BE A SOUTH INDIAN

[@Reddylion]

[@NoRenderMoody]

ha ha...it's all flying over their heads...you can also listen to KULA SHAKER's Govinda' a brit rock band...also bands like MOTHERJANE from India has been doing it for years now... All it took was a 10 year old girl and AGT to bring it to the fore..

[@babybonk609]

CHAMP player !!!😊

[@year2023-ABC]

Is this another ravi shanker in the making, for 11yrs she sound very matured.

[@manojriverwine]

This guiter has a indian song on this. Which was it?

[@AlexXPandian]

It’s not any particular Indian song. It’s just a Carnatic melody and solo in Carnatic style that she improvises and composed.

[@manojriverwine]

Got it. It was the song "bulleya". kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYXKo417breKhLssi=EztkyUB6VCAxL-Lq

[@manojriverwine]

Found it. The song was ranbir kapoor's song "bulleya".

[@AlexXPandian]

@@manojriverwine 😂. It’s just a common riff.

[@maheshv281]

Listen to Guitar Prasanna, you will know it

[@chnmurty3]

She must be Acarnatik Musician I her previous Birth ni india🎉

[@sharmi9891]

South respects more our cultures in and out Bharat. Overall our kids across the country and beyond the border, love to mix east and west but with respect for own culture.

[@swaminathankrish2524]

Look how she addresses her parents- As "Amma and Appa". So lovely. Here in India kids are taught to address parents as Mom, Momma, Daddy, Dad. Here in bangalore i get sick with our indian kids talking to parents, in english even at home. They dont use their mother tongue. Mother tongue is critical and is the only ambulical chord between we and our roots. Distancing our mother tongue is dissecting from your roots. We are becoming firangis in our own motherland. And the biggest buffoon in TN says he would destroy sanathan dharma as per him its malaria dengue. Where are we heading ??
