My real guru are my experiences in life - the realisation that you are alone in this world came very early to me.

I've experienced many hardships‚ but mentally‚ I've always been older‚ and that reflects in my actions‚ too.

I don't listen to Bollywood music much. But yes I listen to Indian music quite often and other non- film music.

The worst affected from corruption is the common man.

Singing is my passion, my first love and the secret of my energy. Music to me is like finding my inner self, my soul. It gives me a great joy to see audiences enjoying with me. I have given my heart to singing. When I sing, I can feel romance in everything around me.

When the audience enjoys your performance, you feel like a magician who is doing magic. It's a great feeling!

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.
