I have been getting offers from international artistes for collaboration all across the globe, but I prefer to work with Indian artistes.

I don't listen to Bollywood music much. But yes, I listen to Indian music quite often, and other non- film music.

I don't add any deliberate nuances to the way I sing. I've seen so much and been all over the world, but I'm glued to my roots, and that comes across.

My birthday is a day when all I want is to bask in the love of my family and rarely accept offers for concerts and shows if they are to be held on this day.

Music is not a work for me - it's a form of meditation, and you don't need to work hard for it.

Money and good life had never been my goal.
