00:00My father didn't help me to shape up my career. He encouraged me. He spoke to me about it.
00:05He taught me things that I needed to know.
00:08I like solitude. I like playing my guitar. I like doing nothing at times.
00:13Like, I don't have any such... I'm not fanatic about anything.
00:16I'm going to fall, get up, get up, get up. What a good life I can live.
00:22See, music is a language by itself.
00:33So, it's appreciated by all in... I mean, all those who appreciate music, appreciate any kind of music if it is good.
00:42There does not necessarily have to be a language to it.
00:45Like, I mean, if you're singing in Hindustani or if you're singing in English or even Swahili for all that, you know,
00:53it really doesn't matter as long as the music, which comes straight from your heart, touches whoever's listening to it.
01:03Tell me about your background. Have you started singing?
01:08In the bathroom.
01:09From your child.
01:10I mean, my father used to make films.
01:21He still makes films and he's given breaks to music directors and actors who have made big names today.
01:29And people like R.D. Berman and people like Rajesh Roshan were, I mean, there was always music in the house.
01:42In that way, I mean, my introduction to music happened at a very early age.
02:10Who inspired you to become a singer?
02:15I think it was in me. I mean, I used to sing. I enjoyed singing. I mean, my father sings.
02:25And I sang in the school choir also. They made me stand in the fifth row and like, you know, sing the song in school.
02:34But I enjoyed singing always. I mean, it always gave me a very pleasant experience.
02:40I mean, I felt good about singing and music more than acting.
02:46So, the inspiration, I think, was something because of due to my exposure to this field from a young age.
02:59That's my inspiration, I suppose, as far as singing is concerned.
03:02As far as my album is concerned, the inspiration for it is from life in general.
03:09I mean, I feel my different experiences have helped me to formulate this entire, you know, this entire album, this concept.
03:21I mean, I'm not that good singer in the sense, like, I'm not classically trained in, I'm not, I'm not in that, you know, category of, like, singers who could, I mean, they're very brilliant.
03:46I mean, they're very brilliant. I, I do not consider myself anywhere.
03:53Describe yourself.
03:55I don't know how to describe myself. I think I describe myself in my album.
04:01That's who I am and that's what I am.
04:06Will you do any remixes in future?
04:09When you say remix, what do you mean by remix?
04:12Fusion length.
04:13My album is, um, is a fusion of different, uh, cultural sounds.
04:23If you're saying I'm going to repeat my style, I may and I may not. I don't know what I'm going to do next.
04:31Like old Hindi film songs?
04:33Oh, I love listening to old Hindi film songs and I love listening to songs.
04:38Not all old Hindi film songs or not all kinds of songs.
04:43I love music and music that touches me is what I enjoy.
04:48Whether it's old Hindi film songs or if it's that man singing with a ek tara on the street, you know.
04:54Anything, if it's done inspired, if it's inspired, I appreciate it and I, yeah, I enjoy such.
05:05I, I enjoy listening to inspired music.
05:09Do you ever lose temper?
05:11Do I lose temper?
05:13Do I ever laugh?
05:15Do I ever cry?
05:16Do I, I might, I mean, as a human being, but I don't think I lose my temper uncontrollably or, I, I mean, I'm not a schizophrenic if you know what I mean.
05:31Just being your most satisfying moment.
05:34My most satisfying moment was when I held my son.
05:40When I held my son when he was born.
05:47Yeah, it was a very satisfying, it's not my most satisfying moment.
05:51I, I think the most satisfying moment will, for me will be, when I, I think when I die and I, just before I die, I, I feel that it's going to be that, that it didn't waste my life.
06:06I didn't, I mean, I mean, I think that would be the most satisfying moment for me, not, I don't think I've reached that yet.
06:17I'm still alive.
06:19How much your father helped you in shaping up your career?
06:23My father didn't help me to shape up my career.
06:26He encouraged me.
06:29He, um, he spoke to me about it.
06:34He taught me things that I needed to know.
06:39And if you want to call that help, I think that is help, yeah.
06:43Yeah, my father helped me.
06:45But if you're talking in terms of monetary help and like, uh, you know, my father always felt that I should, I should, um, I should learn for myself.
06:57I should find the way myself because that was my choice.
07:01And he helped me to make, I mean, to complete my choice.
07:06And I've done it.
07:07I've made my music.
07:09It's a, it's a success.
07:11And my father's proud of it.
07:14How's your relation with your father?
07:15Do you consult him for?
07:16Do you want to know?

07:54What feels good for that moment feels good.
07:57And that's my hobby for that moment.
08:00Like for a long time, music used to be my serious hobby.
08:04I was never concerned as far as my career was concerned.
08:08I didn't know what direction I would take in life.
08:12But till then I was playing music and it was a hobby for me.
08:15So, till that time it was a hobby.
08:18Now I seek different avenues to use my energy.
08:22I go out into the country.
08:24I travel to places.
08:29I have lots of things to do.
08:32There's not just one thing to do.
08:35I'm an avid fan of anything that makes me peaceful, you know, that gives me a sense of peace.
08:43What are your weaknesses?
08:46My weaknesses, man.
08:48I think I'm a very weak human being in terms of my very existence.
08:59I keep falling and I...
