What was your first reaction after getting the offer of ‘Sa Re Ga Ma Pa’?

As soon as I got the offer, I jokingly said, ‘Drop all the money in the account!’ This show is very next level and I am proud to be a part of it. It is a big deal to get an offer for such a show. I am very happy that they chose me and made me a part of this show.

How do you view the responsibility of being a mentor?

There is responsibility, but the most important thing for singers is how they present themselves. The new experiments they do with music is what sells. How independent the singers are also matters a lot. I want the singers who come out of this show to feel free and make music of their own choice. Because only that music becomes a hit which people have not heard before.

What is your biggest mantra while guiding new talent?

Just keep working hard. Win or lose the show, always keep working hard. Constant hard work is the most important thing. Consistency is the key to success, just like brushing your teeth daily is our habit. So is the case with your talent. If you do something daily, you will definitely get success in it.

What are the biggest changes you have seen in the music industry?

There is a lot of change. Earlier it used to take time to release a song, now it has become easier. Now there is more responsibility because people are connected. The audience is watching what kind of music you are giving. The methods of promotion have also changed as compared to earlier. Now a new audience comes every three months, and music also becomes a hit very quickly. So you always have to stay up-to-date. You have to move with the times.

Did rejection ever disappoint you?

It is important to get rejected, it gives you a chance to do something new. Nothing is permanent. Many times the audience thinks that you should keep doing the same thing as you did before. But this is not the case with me. I keep myself ready to get rejected every day, so that I can do better. One day I will be successful, I am the same today as I was on the first day. I am making new music, doing films and this show is also a new thing for me. So, I will give my 100% in this, just like I give in my life.

What advice would you like to give to today’s new singers who are starting their career?

My experience is that when you are working hard, singing in school or college, you still have good songs. The audience that is listening today, they are working hard to become singers, they write well, they compose well, they are the same people. But at that time no one takes you seriously, because you have not proved anything. So if someone has rejected you, but you have songs, then you are already a superstar. Just work hard and take care of your parents and the people who have helped you.
