My inspiration comes from the common man and nature.

For us Indians, I don't think English can ever exude that magic of emotions which our mother tongue can.

A. R. Rahman is truly India's Mozart. His music is celebrated worldwide.

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

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.

The worst affected from corruption is the common man.

The confidence that we Indians are suddenly infused with while doing something wrong is absolutely commendable.
