Who has been your greatest source of inspiration in
your career and why?
My parents! We come from the middle class family from Delhi and in
spite of having us four sisters, they never shied away from letting us
be an artist.
My biggest source of inspiration and support system comes from my
parents.
You have won quite a lot of awards for your songs in the
commercial space. Which has been the most special one
and why?
Awards really encourage you a lot and when I won Filmfare RD
Burban awards and I did not expect it at all considering that
particular award is given to the brightest and youngest talent. I am a
huge admirer of RD Burman saab and getting an award with that tag
attached to it is something that will always be special for me. The first
recipient of that award was Rahman sir and people who have won that
award are very talented and I am a huge fan of all of them. This award
will always be special.
Can you tell us your most embarrassing and your most
funny fan moment in your live gigs journey.
Some of the funny things I see almost on a daily basis on my fan page.
There are some people who write about my song, some about my looks
and some about a concert they attended and some just write random
things like sending their own pictures and posing for you asking “Will
you marry me”, “I want to marriage you”, “ I have a crash on you”
(Laughs). So sometimes, the language I find very funny!
During the gigs, some people are just obsessed with fast music and
when I sing a balled they ask me to sing a fast song and when I do so,
they ask me to sing a faster song. The same person would ask me to
sing even faster and that makes me wonder if that person really wants
to go on a tredmill right now because I don’t think there is something
faster than your heartbeat. I find that funny!
They are all enduring and leave a mark on you!
Tell us about the role your close family and friends have
played in your musical journey.
My sisters are my best friends and they are the ones who stood in line
for me for Pop stars and said they wanted me to go for this and had
faith in me and parents who have always stood by me!
Your message to readers of The Score Magazine
