I have been thinking of start work on something unconventional. Is there anything that you are working on? You have released just one album in your career. The real struggle today is to stand out in the crowd. I think that struggle is not there today. But I knew that there were people who’d spend days outside the studios of composers to meet them. My struggle was to ensure that I didn’t get carried away, and continued to put in the hard work. I don’t really know what struggle means as I was fortunate to enter the industry at a very young age. Watch: Tujhme Rab Dikhta Hai by Shreya Ghoshalĭo you think the struggle to enter the industry today is the same as it used to be in the past? People like Amit Trivedi (composer) and AR Rahman (composer) give you the scope and freedom to experiment and innovate. If you have a strong hold in classical music, you become versatile, and have the skill toimprovise and make every song better. Even if one doesn’t get to learn classical music, there’s a need to be exposed to good music. Many people feel that classical music is not relevant to film music today, but that’s not true. How important is it to learn classical music? You were trained in classical music, but not many singers in the industry have that background today. Tum bhi waise hi gaa do (even you sing like that).” Singers don’t get the freedom that was there in the past. In fact, even composers say, “This song was sung by so and so, and was a hit. While there are many versatile artistes, I think, to stay relevant with the trend, singers try to sound like the voice that delivered a recent hit. But, my only concern is the lack of uniqueness. The styles of compositions are also fresh because of many composers coming in. What do you think about the current crop of B-Town singers? There are few soundtracks that stand out. Every song is just made to stay on the charts for a week or so. Nobody wants to create a milestone anymore. I feel that no effort is made to create something that is lifelong.

Whenever anyone is asked to respond to this question, they usually say, “Purane waqt ki baat nahin rahi (things are not how they used to be).” And I agree with that because there is lack of sincerity in music today. What do you feel about the way Bollywood music has changed over the years? So, it’s important to have the right kind of balance. You do not want to hear your voice in every song, as it gets monotonous.

Since I am active there as well, I keep myself busy. Apart from Bollywood, there’s a lot of good music happening in other kinds of Indian cinema as well - be it the films made in the south or in Bengal. I try to grasp various genres to be part of the evolution process. I guess the songs that I’ve sung required me. I think it all depends on the kinds of songs that are being made. While most senior singers suffered in terms of getting playback offers, you never ran out of work. I am glad that I’ve had the honour of working with so many talented artistes. There is a lot of scope to stay versatile. I think Indian music is so welcoming of different genres that anyone who spends time in the industry, evolves. I was a teenager when I sang my first track, and I was still training in music. I have learnt a lot and matured over the years. How have you evolved as a musician over the years? Every singer wants to sing for Bollywood films, and Bhansali sir made my dream come true. When I look back, I realise that I got such an amazing debut. Kavita Krishnamurthy, Madhuri Dixit, Pt.Film-maker Sanjay Leela Bhansali gave you your first break in B-Town.
