Miya & Biwi i.e. husband & wife as couple, assume vital importance in inter personal relationship. They are, indeed, the pillars of every “Sansar”, every family. In our Indian classical music and dance also they have always played significant role. In most of the music families, both love and understand music. Though, only one of them may be a performing artist. Very few of them are individually performing-artists. And, indeed, its absolutely rare that couple professionally perform together, on stage.
