Sunil Lodhi, the visually impaired singer behind the devotional song “Maine Tere Hi Bharose Hanuman” from Hanuman Ansh, is set to consult an eye specialist in Mumbai with support from the film’s 21-year-old producer Anupriya Nagar.
Singer Sunil Lodhi, whose soulful rendition of Maine Tere Hi Bharose Hanuman has brought him widespread attention through the film Hanuman Ansh, may soon receive specialised medical evaluation for his eyesight.
Lodhi, a Bundeli folk singer from Madhya Pradesh who has been blind since birth, is expected to travel to Mumbai for an appointment with an ophthalmologist. The consultation has reportedly been arranged with the help of 21-year-old producer Anupriya Nagar, who has stepped forward to support the singer in exploring possible treatment options.
At present, there is no confirmed medical indication that Lodhi’s eyesight can be restored. Doctors will first need to examine his condition before determining whether any treatment could improve his vision.
Anupriya Nagar arranges specialist consultation
According to reports, Anupriya Nagar has taken responsibility for helping Lodhi seek specialist medical advice.
An appointment with an eye doctor in Mumbai has reportedly been arranged. During the consultation, specialists are expected to conduct detailed examinations and assess Lodhi’s condition before discussing any potential treatment.
The medical evaluation will be important because Lodhi has lived with visual impairment since birth. Whether treatment can improve his eyesight will depend entirely on the findings of the specialists.
Madhya Pradesh government had also offered support
Anupriya Nagar’s initiative follows support previously announced by Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav.
Lodhi met Yadav at his residence in Bhopal on September 4, where the singer performed his popular Hanuman bhajan.
Following the meeting, the Chief Minister announced financial assistance of Rs 1 lakh for Lodhi and said that support would also be extended for his education and eye treatment.
A specialist examination was proposed as part of efforts to determine whether there could be any possibility of improving his vision.
Who is Sunil Lodhi?
Sunil Lodhi comes from Sagar district in Madhya Pradesh and has been visually impaired since birth. Despite the challenges associated with his condition, he pursued music and developed a career as a Bundeli folk singer.
For years, Lodhi reportedly sang on trains to earn a living. His circumstances changed significantly after his voice reached a much larger audience through Hanuman Ansh.
His rendition of “Maine Tere Hi Bharose Hanuman” has become closely associated with the film and introduced his singing to listeners well beyond his regional audience.
Sunil Lodhi’s bhajan gains attention beyond India
The popularity of Lodhi’s devotional song has also extended beyond India.
A video featuring American geologist, Vedic meditation teacher and kirtan leader Alec Soderberg performing Lodhi’s bhajan recently circulated online, adding another international dimension to the singer’s growing recognition.
For an artist who spent years performing wherever opportunities arose, the response to his music has brought a dramatic change in public attention.
What happens next for Sunil Lodhi?
The upcoming Mumbai consultation could provide more clarity about Lodhi’s eyesight and whether any medical intervention is possible.
For now, neither the specialist assessment nor the possibility of restored vision has been confirmed. The next steps will depend on the results of the examination.
With Anupriya Nagar supporting his medical consultation and the Madhya Pradesh government having previously announced assistance, Lodhi now has additional support as he explores what medical options, if any, may be available to him.
