Whenever I sing a song, I just want it to reach out to the audience.
Everyone has their own individuality and it is important that it comes out.

When you have fun doing something, you should immerse yourself in it completely.

I believe that your creativity increases when you evolve with changing technology.

I don't mind even if I sing a few songs every year, but I just want to do quality work.
I enjoy singing in different languages, be it Telugu or Bengali. I would like to sing in Malayalam too.
I enjoy singing soulful melodies because they add that extra zing to your performance.
I get excited when I sing in a new language.
