“Many young people come to me and tell me that 'You inspire us with the way you perform, even if you are a girl with a short height.'”
“I love experimenting; as a singer, one needs to be versatile.”
“People have made me so big now, which I never thought I can be as a female singer.”
“I treat every song like a different character. It is good that people recognise my voice instantly, but as an artiste, I always try and bring some variety with each of them.”
“There is a drama queen in me, as I love acting, and I used to stand in front of the mirror and act since my childhood.”
“If you call yourself a singer, then you must have the ability to sing anything, whether it's pop, classical, rock, sufi, or folk.”
“Nothing beats the food of Delhi.”
“I am an entertainer and would sing a song if I know my voice would do justice to it.”
“I have won the hearts of many. So that matters more than any award. The love of my 'Nehearts' - my fans, is more than inspiring and encouraging.”
“Going out with friends for a nice dinner and then attending the midnight mass are some of the memories I cherish.”
“At one time in my life, I stood in queues for 'Indian Idol' auditions, and I got eliminated at Top 8 or Top 9. I could have never imagined that one day I will be judging this show where I was a contestant myself.”
“Success has got no limits.”
“'Tim Timtya' was different from what I usually do. I had to develop a texture to go with the song. In fact, many told me I sounded like Shreya Goshal, which came as a pleasant surprise. Transitioning from tracks like 'Sunny Sunny' to this one was quite different.”
“The fact that I am not formally trained never really bothered me. There were times I knew it could have been a brownie point, had I been trained, but it never pulled me back.”
“People in Mumbai are not really into Punjabi music, whereas those in Delhi and Gurgaon love Punjabi numbers and are totally into the peppy music.”
“I was probably four when I knew that I wanted to be a singer.”
“Wherever I go, people behave like a very big superstar has entered, and I am never able to believe that they all are talking about me.”
“My sister Sonu and my brother Tony have taught me a lot. I owe them so much. Whatever I am today is because of my family.”
“I will only take up acting if the offer is too good to refuse.”
“Even though I perform at all kinds of functions, college events are always my favourite because of the kind of energy you get there.”
