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

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 have struggled to make a place in this industry.

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

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

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

A man with a silver spoon may get his share of supporters, but he can never be an inspiration for somebody! Patience and hard work are the key to every man’s success.

Don’t take things too seriously, and just chill.
