00:00Akhilji, first of all, welcome to INS.
00:02Thank you so much.
00:03First of all, I would like to ask you that you have started 2025 with a bang.
00:08So, everyone has become yours.
00:10Yes.
00:11It's already a chart buster.
00:13So, what inspired you to do this song?
00:152025 was the beginning of the year.
00:18And I wanted to give my fans a love ballad for which I want to go.
00:22Whether it's my song Sun Mere Hamsafar or Tera Ban Jaunga.
00:25Whatever my songs have been, I wanted to give a love ballad.
00:28And I can proudly say that as per me, it's one of my bestest creations.
00:33And it's a very beautiful song.
00:35I was very satisfied with my heart.
00:37And then T-Series also just loved the song.
00:39Bhushan sir liked it a lot.
00:41He only wanted this song to be the first one.
00:44Like we have a deal.
00:46I've signed a deal with T-Series.
00:48And this is the first one out of that deal.
00:51So, I wanted to give a love ballad to my fans at the beginning of the year.
00:54So, that was the purpose.
00:56And I tried to give a true and honest expression to my fans.
00:59So, that's what I did.
01:01Your signature is a soulful love song.
01:03So, what makes a great love ballad in today's music industry?
01:06I feel every artist has a different way.
01:09Love is such an emotion that can never go out of context.
01:12Every artist has a different way of expressing it.
01:15All my songs have always been simple.
01:17Whether it's the words or the melody.
01:19Whatever music you listen to at home and then take it home.
01:23Whether you listen to it in a theatre or in a project.
01:25Or listen to it as a single.
01:27Wherever you listen to it.
01:28If you remember the melody and the tune.
01:30Then I think that's the perfect blend.
01:32Simple lyrics, right lyrics with that perfect melody.
01:35So, it's important to have that melody.
01:37Because I compose first, then write and then I sing it.
01:40You have worked with T-Series and Ekta Kapoor closely.
01:43So, what is the secret behind this successful collaboration?
01:46I think it's their belief in me.
01:48It's their belief in me that whatever I'm gonna make for them.
01:51It's gonna be loved by people.
01:53I think it's very important to have that belief in an artist.
01:55And I have a very close relationship with Ekta.
01:58She likes my music and my voice a lot.
02:01Same with T-Series also.
02:02They really believe in me.
02:03Right from Sunmere Hamza Far.
02:05So, it's very important to have that belief.
02:07And then to stay true to that belief.
02:09And to be true to it.
02:10That's on me.
02:11So, I try my best to stay true to it.
02:13And never let their belief go down.
02:15So, this is a simple effort.
02:18You have worked on films on OTT and singles.
02:21So, which platform do you enjoy working the most?
02:24And why?
02:25I think I never make music for any platform as such.
02:27I never make music for any particular project.
02:30Whether I'm making it for a film.
02:31Or for OTT.
02:32Or for a single.
02:33I make songs for songs.
02:35Songs should be made for songs.
02:37Despite of the fact that where it's coming from or not.
02:40It never matters to you.
02:42At least to me.
02:43I just love songs.
02:45So, I want to make a good song.
02:46And wherever it comes from.
02:47It brings its own destiny.
02:49Some music towards film industry relies too much on recreation.
02:52So, do you think the trend of reprise song is killing originality?
02:56Is?
02:57Killing originality.
02:58See, definitely.
02:59This is true.
03:00In every project, every film.
03:03You will hear that recreation is happening.
03:05Even in OTT.
03:06Old songs are being recreated.
03:08So, because their frequency has increased so much.
03:10So, definitely.
03:11It seems that the originals are coming less.
03:13Because if you see the original.
03:15The ratio is almost 8 to 2.
03:17If 8 reprise are being made.
03:197 reprise are being recreated.
03:201 or 2 or 3 originals are being made.
03:22At the same time.
03:23If you see the ratio.
03:24So, that's why that's making people to talk about this topic.
03:27Otherwise, recreation should be there.
03:29It should be in limit.
03:30And until those songs are not disturbed.
03:33Original songs should not be disturbed.
03:35Recreation is good.
03:37But balance is very important.
03:39Right balance is very important.
03:41That is missing nowadays.
03:42I think.
03:43Because it's happening too much.
03:44That's why people are thinking that originality has been killed.
03:52I don't think so.
03:53I don't think so.
03:54If this happens.
03:55Then humans can also be replaced.
03:56Then you will make friends with AI generated people.
03:59And maybe get married with AI generated people.
04:03I feel that.
04:04The humans who have made humans.
04:06Humans have made AI.
04:08So, they can't replace humans.
04:10I believe so.
04:11And especially music is such a thing.
04:13It is a blessing of God.
04:14Not everyone gets it.
04:15So, if it is there.
04:16Then God is sitting on it.
04:17He can't snatch it.
04:18So, I can never get it.
04:27No, AI is not good.
04:28You are talking about auto-tune.
04:30It is not good.
04:31The thing is that auto-tune.
04:33It has been happening for a long time.
04:34And it should be there.
04:35It's like.
04:37You have put a filter.
04:38Or if there are girls.
04:39Then why do girls do makeup?
04:40Girls also do makeup.
04:41Just to polish themselves.
04:42And bring out the best of themselves.
04:44In front of the people.
04:45So, auto-tune doesn't make a non-singer a singer.
04:48You sing well.
04:49If you are a singer.
04:50If you understand music.
04:51Then it brings you forward in a polished way.
04:54Which is right.
04:55In a balanced way.
04:56Its use is also absolutely fine.
04:58And trust me.
04:5999% of the songs of the musicians.
05:01They use auto-tune.
05:02And it should be rightly used.
05:04In a right way.
05:05Independent artists often struggle.
05:07Against big music labels.
05:09So, if you have worked closely with labels.
05:10So, what's your take on independent versus label debate?
05:13There is no debate as such.
05:16I would say.
05:17The music scene in India.
05:19It's at its prime.
05:20Since the time India has been India.
05:24The music that is today.
05:26The world wide India.
05:27Which is representing music.
05:29I think there was never such a hype.
05:31And such a peak.
05:32And this was bound to happen.
05:34Because the talent is so full in our country.
05:37And now there are platforms.
05:39Now it's not about Indie music or Bollywood music.
05:41If it's good music.
05:42It will be popular everywhere.
05:43You have your audience.
05:44You have your audience for every kind of a genre that you do.
05:48Your romantic songs have been massive hits.
05:51Do you ever feel pressure to experiment with a different genre like rap or EDM?
05:55No.
05:56I will feel the pressure only when I am interested in doing all those things.
05:59So, I challenge myself a lot.
06:03Different songs.
06:04Which you are going to hear in this year.
06:06Especially in 2025.
06:08In a lot of projects.
06:09And in a lot of my singles.
06:10And in a lot of my films.
06:11You will see how my songs are different.
06:13But your soul remains the same.
06:16You have to leave your mark.
06:18So, I am really happy the way things are happening.
06:21And I work on my strength.
06:23I know my strength very well.
06:24And I also know my weakness.
06:25So, I work on my weakness.
06:26But I don't leave my strength in any song.
06:29If you could re-do any song from Bollywood, Golden Era.
06:32Which one would you pick and why?
06:34I think there won't be any song like this.
06:35I recently released a song called Tere Bin.
06:38Which was written by Atif Aslam, Mithun Sir and Saeed Qadri Sir 17 years ago.
06:44I have done a Tere Bin which came in December only.
06:472024.
06:48So, if you listen to that song.
06:50That's my approach of doing it.
06:52That song was completely different.
06:53Melody was completely different.
06:54Composition was completely different.
06:56Lyrics were not kept at all.
06:58Only the hook line.
06:59How did I live without you?
07:01I used this hook line.
07:02So, that was my way of doing it.
07:05But I think I am not someone who would want to re-create more and more songs.
07:09I believe in originality.
07:11And if I am good at making original songs.
07:13I would just keep doing that.
07:15Some fans believe that your voice is similar to Atif Aslam's voice.
07:18So, do you see that as a compliment or a challenge?
07:20I don't think so.
07:21I think he used to talk a lot earlier.
07:23Now my songs have given my voice a vibe.
07:26People call me Akhil Sajdeva's voice.
07:29When I sing Atif's songs on stage.
07:31I sing his songs.
07:32So, that frequency always matches.
07:34And I have no shame in that.
07:36He is a legend.
07:38And he inspired me a lot.
07:40When I started becoming a musician.
07:42I was very inspired by him.
07:44But now my songs have given me my own voice and identity.
07:47And I want it to stay that way.
07:49In fact, if you talk about it.
07:51There are a lot of people whose voices are similar to many singers.
07:54They try to copy them.
07:55Or their voice is similar to theirs.
07:57I think it takes time.
07:58Time is the healer.
07:59How do you make your voice your identity?
08:01If we talk about 2020-24.
08:03There have been a lot of concerts.
08:05International artists have also performed.
08:08And local artists have also performed.
08:11But the complaint of the local artists was that.
08:14The infrastructure in the concerts needs to be strengthened in India.
08:19What do you think about that?
08:20Look, I wasn't there.
08:21I don't know.
08:22So, if Diljit Paji had been there.
08:24He would have felt something.
08:26But I have been closely associated with a lot of people.
08:29Who have been into the production behind all these concerts.
08:32Like AP Dhillon.
08:33I think AP Dhillon's concert.
08:35Was one of the better managed.
08:37Production wise.
08:38Which I also felt.
08:39So, it's not like that.
08:40To each on its own.
08:41Diljit Paji must have felt it.
08:42He must have said it.
08:43But no one else said anything like that.
08:45So, as long as I am not in that position.
08:47If this is not happening with me.
08:48Then I don't want to say this.
08:50To each on its own.
08:51Recently, there has been another drama in the concert.
08:54Yes.
08:56Yes.
09:00Yes.
09:02Yes.
09:04Yes.
09:05Yes.
09:12Look, after this incident.
09:13There is only one thing.
09:14I think they have made a lot more aware.
09:16A lot of singers.
09:17Because fans are crazy.
09:19These moments come.
09:20But I am not taking their side.
09:22Nor am I holding them wrong.
09:23I would like to talk about myself.
09:25But I would like to learn from you.
09:28That you should be more aware of this.
09:30Personally, if I talk about myself.
09:32Because today's world is not the same as before.
09:35Today, you don't even know.
09:36Who is capturing you from which angle.
09:39And how it can be shown.
09:41So, just a self-awareness has come.
09:43Rest, neither I am Udit sir.
09:45What he was feeling at that time.
09:47Or what must have been the moment.
09:48How it must have happened.
09:49That is on him.
09:50And I am no one to talk about.
09:51A legend like Udit sir.
09:53I will only talk about myself.
09:55I will always listen.
09:56But do you think as an artist.
09:57They should be very careful.
09:59100%.
10:00I am saying.
10:01They should not be there.
10:02In that moment.
10:03Like I am saying.
10:04Today, if I talk to you.
10:05If I pay attention here.
10:06And if someone captures.
10:07If someone takes a note.
10:08If someone sees the camera.
10:09That here.
10:10My attention is somewhere else.
10:11That thing will not happen.
10:12So, how.
10:13You have to be aware.
10:14That today's world.
10:15Has become the world of social media.
10:17Everywhere.
10:18There is a phone in everyone's hand.
10:20So you.
10:21Yes.
10:22He has definitely done this thing.
10:24That you have to be a little more self-aware.
10:26Because where is that limit.
10:28You don't even know.
10:29In that moment.
10:30Those vibrations are like this.
10:32Of the stage.
10:33Overall.
10:34That you don't know.
10:35What will happen at this moment.
10:37So you have to be very careful.
10:39I think.
10:40Everyone must be feeling this.
10:42Earlier.
10:43Yes.
10:44Yes.
10:45Yes.
10:46Yes.
10:47Yes.
10:48Yes.

14:59Oh, God!
15:00Ah!
15:01Few years ago, there was a capitalize called Swat and he gave me a hammer.
15:06my career, when people have written my name with their blood and sent me to my home.
15:11I think the most amazing thing that I still remember is, I was doing a show in Udaipur,
15:17in a concert, so there was this girl who was watching me continuously, her eyes were on
15:22me the whole time.
15:23And when I got off the stage, her mother's eyes were also on me and her mother told me
15:28that my daughter has a crush on you and rightly so because I also have a crush on you.
15:32And she felt that when I was on stage, there was an aura around me, she felt a very godly
15:39aura, she connected with a lot of purity and I think that remark never forgets me, it is
15:45always in my mind and it is 8-10 years old from today when she commented this to me.
15:49Lastly, what message would you like to give to the fans?
15:52If Valentine's Day is coming, then if you can sing a couple of lines.
15:55On Valentine's Day, I think in 2025, a lot of my songs are going to come, a lot of big
16:00songs are going to come and I will keep trying to write from my heart as I have been writing
16:04for you till date and you keep giving love.
16:06So I just want to sing a line of yours for them.
16:30Hum toh saare tumhare ho gaye hain, sohne chahre uthe.
