00:00So it was a great experience and when I got to know that the film is about music and it's
00:10musically inclined, it really excited me because I myself am very musically inclined.
00:16Although when we shot that film, I didn't release any of my songs.
00:21But my musical journey started after that and I feel that through this film, my music
00:28got a boost and I am very very grateful that now our film is in three categories in Oscars.
00:35Best Original Song, Best Background Score and Best Film.
00:39So I am feeling on top of the world and hopefully, fingers crossed, we win an Oscar for India.
00:46When I moved to Bombay after college, I was interested in ramp modelling.
00:58So I started with ramp modelling and as you know, while living in Bombay, I got into acting.
01:06Then I worked with Prabhu Deva sir as an assistant director, which was given to me by Sonu Sood sir.
01:14And during that film, I met Gireesh ji and Puneet ji, who told me the story of Band of Maharajas.
01:21They told me that it's a story of three boys and we want one of them to play.
01:26So I got this film as an offer.
01:29I did auditions, workshops, learned three instruments, dhol, trumpet and frame drum.
01:37So after that, the journey of this film started and I am feeling very good that our hard work is getting recognition.
01:51Sir, I feel that when we were making this film, Gireesh ji had a very positive attitude
01:57and his own personal involvement in everything.
02:01We knew that the subject is very good and if it is executed in the right way, it can do wonders.
02:07And Gireesh sir used to say that our product will go to the Oscars one day.
02:13So that happened, his manifestation came in handy and our product is getting so much recognition.
02:20So I am feeling very good.
02:26Sir, I never learned any music.
02:28I remember when I was a kid, my mother used to sing very well.
02:32And from there, music came to my mind and I always had a good taste in music.
02:40And I knew what people like to listen to in today's date.
02:45I always knew that the trend is changing, which sound will work, which not.
02:50I always traveled a lot, went to different music festivals, explored different artists.
02:55And you will see the same in my songs.
02:58My latest song, Parda, I have released with Tech Panda and Kinzani.
03:02It has a very fresh sound, it has a tech house beat, it has a Kawali vocal, it has a little rap.
03:08So I always wanted to create a fusion of all these things.
03:12And I am happy that that song is getting a good response.
03:16And in the future, I am also bringing such sounds like Afro House, Melodic House.
03:21With those sounds, Punjabi vocals sound a little different, they are very fresh.
03:26So it wasn't like there was a very strong musician in my family or something.
03:31But I have always been fond of it and I am grateful that I am pursuing my passion.
03:46Fair enough, sir. They have their own opinion.
03:49If they feel that this is the case, then I am sure they must be thinking right.
03:53Everyone has their own opinion.
03:55I feel that what classical musicians could do, we can't do.
04:02And what we can do, they can't do.
04:04So everyone has their own opinion. If they feel that way, then that's how it is.
04:07We are all trying to be our own.
04:10Sir, I feel that I am nobody to talk about their personal matter.
04:14They know the best.
04:16As an outsider, I don't know anyone personally.
04:20What should I comment?
04:22I feel that everyone should support each other in the industry.
04:25Stay away from controversy.
04:27I am the youngest.
04:29So I will just say that stay together, stay with love.
04:33And that's it.
04:35So I will just say that stay together, stay with love.
04:39And that's it.
04:40It's their personal matter.
04:41They know better.
04:42They will be a better person to ask.
