“We love food. After our studio session, we devour dal makhani, butter chicken, and butter naan.”

“I understand our audience loves to see some drama on TV, but even they have got bored with similar patterns of carrying out reality singing shows.”

“I have myself been on the other side of the table being a participant of a singing talent hunt. Hence, it is weird but awesome at the same time to judge a pool of talent that our nation has.”

“For an individual, playback singing is not enough to sustain a career, and it is not really a main source of income.”

“Ultimately, it's your talent that counts.”

“As an artist, I am for non-film music as well. I want that to shine as much as Bollywood.”

“In this filmy world, you will have success today but may not have it tomorrow. But if you are prepared to face the challenge it throws, that's when you should venture in this industry. I was ready for this and had all sorts of support from my parents.”

“Amaal is a music composer, and I am singer, so I think we compliment each other rather than competing with each other.”

“It's tougher to work with Amaal, as the brother equation comes in between. We fight like any other siblings and have creative differences. I work harder when I am singing for him, as he is a taskmaster.”

“You may come and go, but the real test is to see how long one can manage to stay in the game.”

“If you look at Arijit Singh, Divya Kumar, and Benny Dayal, they aren't competing with each other. They have their individual standing and distinct space of work. I want to create that kind of niche for myself.”

“Whenever I go out, I have to have a jacket on. I prefer casual ones for a party and semi-formal ones for events.”

“I want to be in a more natural state while doing acting.”

“Music is a very integral part of my life because I was born into a musical family, and it's not just a passion... it's everything for me.”

“Outside India, Chris Brown, Bruno Mars, Beyonce, and Rihanna are my favourites. I also like Justin Bieber. I like Western jazz and pop. Been a classical singer, I have sung a song 'Auliya,' a fusion of Western and Indian classical.”

“Guys are known to be lazy shoppers, but for me, it is extremely important to look good. I am very finicky because I hate repeating clothes.”

“Even I would be unhappy if the final track did not sound good to me, which is why I stay in the loop with the music team till the song is ready.”

“I am focusing more on overseas gigs, as my international fans do not get a chance to be a part of my live concerts, as they visit India once in a blue moon.”

“I love Casio G-Shocks. My dream is to have watches in all colours. I also love gold watches. I'd like to have a diamond-studded gold watch some day.”

“All the appreciation I have been receiving has been very encouraging. It pushes me to do better.”
