00:00First of all, we want to know that what was the inspiration behind this song?
00:14This is your first original song in two years.
00:18So were you waiting for the perfect connection or were you waiting for a request?
00:30The song is about effortless bonds where words aren't needed.
00:38So if you could pick one celebrity to have the kind of silent connection with, who would it be?
01:00A silent connection?
01:06A silent connection? Hold on.
01:16An actor?
01:20I would say Siddhant Chaturvedi.
01:23Violet is known for comedy. So any funny behind the scenes moments where he made you break character?
01:31Absolutely. Every minute of the song that we were recording, he was making funny comments.
01:37And actually he was making the whole set laugh the whole time for two days.
01:45So it was a really fun experience with Nick.
01:49You have worked with T-Series before. So one thing about them that totally surprised you at the start?
01:56Sorry?
01:57You have worked with T-Series before. So one thing about them that totally surprised you at the start?
02:25In my language, which is Sinhalese.
02:27If I and nobody like you had to be the theme song for a movie, which one would it fit best?
02:44Your last big hit, Manike Mage Hinde was a viral sensation.
02:48Do you ever feel pressure to recreate this kind of success with every song?
02:53Absolutely, yes.
02:55For the audience and for the fans, I think probably they always expect me to do something like that.
03:03But the thing is, I'm an artist. I'm a performer. I am a singer.
03:09And my thing is to be able to create more music with what I know, my knowledge.
03:16Just keep improving and do what I love the most, which is performing and singing for my audience and my fans.
03:25Indian music labels love remixes. So was there ever pressure to make And Nobody Like You more commercial?
03:36From the fans' side?
03:37From the fans' side.
03:38I mean, I'm open to the suggestion because music can be remixed. There's no harm in that.
03:47And if somebody comes to me with a new remix of And Nobody Like You, I'm happy to check it out for you.
03:57Many fans associate your voice with ugly viral tracks.
04:00So do you think a softer, nostalgic song like this will challenge expectations?
04:05It will challenge expectations. It has challenged my expectations as well because it's a new sound.
04:12But what I, as an artist, keep doing is how do I make it more unique to me?
04:25How do I take my essence to the song? So I think that's the way to go for the future as well.
04:35The music industry tries on collaborations. So which one artist you would like to work with but haven't yet?
04:43That would be Preetam. I would love to collaborate with him because I follow his music a lot and they have inspired my music as well.
04:57Be honest, do you think independent artists today get enough credit or is it still a Bollywood dominated industry?
05:27As the song is a love song, we can play a small Valentine's segment. What's your idea of a perfect Valentine's date?
05:46A Valentine's date would be for me going to the arcade and playing games. 100%.
05:55Flowers, chocolates or a surprise trip? What's your favourite?
06:02And what romantic movie you can watch on repeat?
06:09A dreamy destination for a romantic getaway?
06:16Have you ever had a secret Valentine's?
06:23How do you plan to celebrate Valentine's Day this year?
06:35The most romantic thing you have done ever for someone?
06:46What is the best Valentine's gift you have ever received?
06:58If you could go on a Valentine's day with any of the Bollywood celebs, who would it be?
07:15But I said Siddhant Chaturvedi once now. I can't say that again.
07:25What is the secret to keep the romance alive according to you?
07:34And how do you handle fights in a relationship?
07:41One thing you love the most about your partner?
07:45If you find me a partner, I can tell you.
07:51Lastly, what message do you have to give to your fans?
07:54And if you can hum a few lines of this song?
08:00First, give a message to your fans.
08:15Thank you for having me here today.
