The confidence that we Indians are suddenly infused with while doing something wrong is absolutely commendable.
I have been getting offers from international artistes for collaboration all across the globe, but I prefer to work with Indian artistes.
A. R. Rahman is truly India's Mozart. His music is celebrated worldwide.
When the audience enjoys your performance, you feel like a magician who is doing magic. It's a great feeling!
I have struggled to make a place in this industry
Don't take things too seriously, and just chill.
Bollywood is huge. Anything that's made in large quantity will evidently overshadow others. But that won't stop artistes from making albums. A person who has faith in his music will go ahead.
I don't listen to Bollywood music much. But yes, I listen to Indian music quite often, and other non- film music.

I use an English word only when I know its meaning and understand its connotation. You won't hear me say, 'What's up, dude' or anything like that just for the heck of it.
