“I feel that if Bollywood singers focus on non-film music as well... like this EP 'Naina,' which has songs sung by Sonu Nigam and Devender Pal Singh, it is really good.”
“There are many songs... but there's one song from the movie 'Mr. X' called 'Tu Jo Hain,' and it's special. People usually ask me what my biggest achievement is so I tell them that it is hidden in this song.”
“As a creative person, to do anything I need to get inspired.”
“My music has to be pure.”
“We face many hurdles in our life and somehow we get busy in our hectic schedules and forget how to enjoy our life.”
“Frankly speaking, acting offers do come my way.”
“When 'Aashiqui' released there was no social media, yet it was a hit. Today we have the Internet which makes music very accessible to people.”
“As an artiste you want to experiment, meet new people and do different kind of songs.”
“As a musician or composer, whenever I am recording a song I imagine myself sitting beside my piano and singing the song with a little fear that whether I will be able to perform or not.”
“I'm a composer, music director, singer and performer. So it is a Bollywood rule that people don't know who has sung a song and whether your voice will be chosen.”
“I am not interested in anyone and will let my mother decide about my marriage.”
“More competition means you do better work and a better product emerges.”
“I told my parents about my musical dreams. They let me try my luck.”
“It so happens that whenever I come to Delhi, my schedule is always packed. But sometimes, I call my friends to my hotel itself. And of course, I ask them to get the food I love. This way, I get to meet them and enjoy my favorite cuisines too.”
“When any artist performs for students, it automatically means they are getting a young crowd.”
“It doesn't matter if there are 5,000 or 500 people in the crowd, if you can sing well and with absolute honesty, people will love you back.”
“The pandemic has affected every single field and part of life globally including the entertainment field.”
“Every musician creates a bank. You'll first check if any of the songs from the bank fits in, and if you feel it does, you suggest it to the filmmakers. Sometimes it works, while sometimes it gets rejected.”
“What makes film music different is that we are always given a situation and we make the song accordingly.”
“I never thought that I would be able to make singing a career. It's great that my passion is also the source of my bread and butter.”
