00:00Absolutely, I go to sleep an hour before a performance. I love my power naps and I love to work out, but I don't show it outside.
00:13I like to be fit, I practice a lot for dance practice and I make sure that I'm perfect at what I'm doing.
00:23I don't boast about these things outside. I just do a lot of prep.
00:40A reality show is scripted from the beginning. If you go to a reality show, they don't show you live telecasts.
00:47There's a strategy, there's pre-production, there's a shoot, the content is good, it's an editor's show, it's an editor's game, it's a director's show.
00:57So, if you fit in there, if you're suiting all the qualities, then you're the lucky one and you win that season.
01:05But even if you have a lot of good qualities, if you don't suit those requirements, then no matter how hard you work, you can't win.
01:18I'm a live example. In 2008, I participated in Voice of India, which was my first time in Bombay.
01:27It was not my time, I should say, and I forgot the song while singing and I got out of the show.
01:33But when I came back in 2010, it was like the whole universe fell in place and made sure that all the situations and all the results were in my favor.
01:47Because I had worked so hard, I had done so much hard work and that hard work was visible. So, everything fell in place in 2010.
01:55So, sometimes your time may or may not be there. So, it's scripted. Without any script, we can't sit three judges there and tell an anchor to do it in freestyle.
02:06Everything is scripted. It's just that if you're lucky enough, if everything falls in place for you, it works. That's it.
02:17Absolutely, sir. It still happens with me. It has happened with big singers. In fact, it happens with everyone.
02:24Like I said, if your voice suits all the situations and everyone likes it, then it is also possible that your voice goes ahead by refusing big singers.
02:35Like Mr. Preetam says today that when Subhanallah was released, I messed with a lot of big singers when your voice came out because a lot of people sang that song.
02:47And, of course, anyone feels bad if you are replaced with someone. But if your situation and the situation of the movie demands it,
02:56if the composer feels that his tune is sitting on your voice or your voice is sitting on his tune,
03:04if it fits according to the lyrics, according to the situation, then that is what is working for movies right now.
03:09And definitely it is playback singing. It is not your song where you are composing and you are not making it, you are not writing it, you are not featuring it.
03:19It is being made for someone else. So it will be made according to them.
03:22So you are always a dependent person when you are part of the playback fraternity.
03:28If you want to do it yourself, you will have to do independent music. And that is what all the singers, I think, I am happy that they have started doing.
03:36India has come back into the independent zone and a lot of independent music albums are going viral.
03:42And I also want to do a lot of independent music for a very long time.
03:45But I am glad the time has come and I want to do more independent music and be my own face for my voice.
03:50Sir, as I told you, you are just part of the 10 things that are happening when it comes to royalty.
04:01The rights of the owner are with a producer or a label. You are singing for them.
04:12So it depends on how much you contribute, how much your contribution is in it.
04:20It also depends on which platform you are on. If you go to another platform, we are lending our services.
04:26We cannot demand too much from there because everything is already sorted.
04:29It is a debatable topic. I have also sung hit songs, but I cannot say that I will fight with everyone.
04:43Royalty has been a big issue for a very long time.
04:48But I would want to say that rather be independent and do your own stuff.
04:53Become so popular from there that you yourself are getting royalty from somewhere.
05:13I would just like to give this message to the fans that please fasten your seat belt because the speed is going to increase from here.
05:22The re-releases that have started, Subhan Allah, Yeh Jawani Hai Diwani has been released.
05:26Subhan Allah, I have received so much love from people.
05:31Haal-e-Dil, my song, Sanam Teri Kasam has been released.
05:352-3 films have been released in South which had my songs.
05:38I got my first Filmfare award last year.
05:41Even though we are moving a little slowly, but we are moving with a lot of strength.
05:57The film is yet to be released.
