My biggest dream to connect people through music has come true. In a world where there are enough reasons to separate us, the Oscars have unified us.

While other creators make a big show of their art Mani Sir makes it look as though anyone can do what he does.

No regrets. There is no time for that. Regret is boring.

I was a common man, and I will always remain a common man. No amount of stardom will ever consume my soul. Money comes, money goes. Fame comes, fame goes. I believe every human being is a celebrity in their own right.

I've never watched Trainspotting. I just know it's a very critically acclaimed film. In fact, I've never watched any of Danny's movies [means before he met him]. I just worked with him and felt the energy of what he is about initially before I do something. In a way, I think that's why we have discovered each other rather than replicate something else.

After a point of time, when you get success and fame, money and everything, the purpose of life has to be redefined. For me, I think that purpose is to build bridges. Artists can do that very easily, more than politicians.

I believe that whatever comes at a particular time is a blessing from God.
