In Mumbai I have to keep an eye on my diet so that I stay in shape, but at home I just indulge.

Almost every second film today has a rehashed version of an old song. In fact, even non-filmi songs are now being rehashed and used in Bollywood films, which is a good thing. But I don't want to be a part of that trend, not as a composer or as a singer.

I am not against remakes. They help in selling a film or creating a buzz around it. But it's my personal choice to stick to original music.

I feel that if Bollywood singers focus on non-film music as well... like this EP 'Naina,' which has songs sung by Sonu Nigam and Devender Pal Singh, it is really good.

At the end of the day I also need to earn my bread and butter. Just because I am not getting to show my versatility doesn't mean I will leave the projects that are coming my way.

What can I do if the director and producers comes to me with a certain demand for a vision for a song? I will try my best to give them a song that matches their vision.

If critics find my songs monotonous, then I also find their opinion monotonous.

My music has to be pure.

It was Mahesh Bhatt saab's idea to get Shraddha to sing 'Galliyan.' I was all for it.

Luckily, I've the ability to express my music exactly the way I create it because I sing my own compositions.
