00:00In this industry people start taking themselves too seriously and then they think that okay now we
00:04are the bosses we are the mafias we take over everybody who are you who are singers who are
00:08composers who are we are the mafias don't you don't you dare do that with me because you know
00:15you should be scared of mad people I'm mad.
00:19Were you very keen to get back on stage as an artist as well were you missing it
00:23and you know I know you've done virtual concerts which I enjoyed tremendously
00:28but you have to tell me did you miss that interaction that you have with people the
00:32kind of sounds you hear nothing can compare to live concerts no amount of virtual prowess can
00:39take over the the grandeur of a live concert even if we have a small number of audience when you're
00:48singing live you are feeding off each other's energies it is going to be very emotional for
00:54all of us all the musicians are very because earlier Dubai and India international flights
01:02were not working but now they're working we had to fix this concert much before that so we were
01:07not even expecting our team to be in Dubai thankfully they are so now we have a mixture
01:13of musicians and technical team from India and most of it from here fantastic so it's a truly
01:19global concert as an artist do you fear how people are going to react perhaps to your concert
01:25will they come in numbers etc what are your fears we don't have that kind of stress because
01:31a huge number of people have already booked the tickets and a huge number of people are coming
01:35from India so they are especially turning up from India that there are some friends of mine
01:41who are turning up from UK to watch this concert because everybody is taking it personally
01:48you see it is not no longer just my concert it's a statement that Dubai wants to make
01:54it's a statement that the people who are music lovers who are lovers
01:58who they want to make a statement you have had a very very tumultuous
02:02lockdown as well you took on the biggest
02:09do you look back on that episode or have you moved on because you were very clear about what
02:14you were saying very clear you know there was there were no gray areas in your statements so
02:20when you took them on are you now reconsidering or what was required was attended to at that point
02:30I lead a life on my you know my life is not about other people and for me when I see something
02:40praiseworthy I praise it when I see something which is objectionable I raise my doubts on it
02:47and I bring it on forefront there is no agenda in my life I don't see myself as a crusader or
02:55anybody but at the same time I don't think people should take me lightly if somebody takes me lightly
03:01then I show them my true colors because I'm not scared of anybody I have a lot of courage in my
03:06life so when I'm if I'm smooth sailing let me smooth sail but if you you know put your
03:14feet on my pooch on my tail then I'm going to show you my at this point I you know there is a
03:23unexpressed truce which is fine which is fine with me as long as you lead your own life I
03:27lead my own life do not mess with me and not to mess with you in this industry people start taking
03:31themselves too seriously and they think that okay now we are the bosses we are the mafias
03:36we take over everybody who are you who are singers who are composers who are we are the
03:39mafias don't you don't you dare do that with me because you know you should be scared of mad
03:46people I'm mad so when you when you try to instigate a madman then it the madman can become
03:54very crazy and I can see that in the film industry there is a girl I love and respect her she's also
04:01a mad woman I like her I like her that way it's very important to be mad because people sometimes
04:06don't understand the language of love it's important to be mad sometimes and I think she
04:13she has her stories to say and she has her I trust it and I also I'm not I don't belong to the
04:19category of people who you know everything else is wrong and I'm the I'm absolutely holier than
04:25I understand that there are faults in every areas but yes you should not mess with people who
04:32have no fear of losing, no fear of loss.
