“People who haven't met me assume I'm an angry woman,” Chinmayi says in a telephonic interview, “but Twitter Spaces changed that perspective and it was therapeutic for me; it reset what I thought about myself.” Spaces also helped me focus on my art because I wondered, “Have people forgotten who I am?”
If you pay a visit to Chinmayi's home in Chennai, you'll most likely see her humming a tune while playing with her pets. It might be a raga, alaap, or a song from one of her biggest hits.
Fans have recently been introduced to this side of the singer on her recent crowded Twitter Spaces outings, one of which lasted till the early hours of the next day. Her concert with composer Govind Vasantha and her interpretation of ‘80s hits, which was a tribute to Ilaiyaraaja, who recently turned 78, earned the most hearts.
