New Delhi-origin singer-songwriter and producer Danish Pratap Sood got a lot more spotlight recently owing to his role in the series Naam Namak Nishan, centered around the Indian armed forces. The response was such that people were already asking for season 2.

Not one to let his musician side go unnoticed, Sood also sang the melancholy song "Bikhar Gaya" for the series soundtrack. Soon after, the gentle tune "Kyaa Karun" from the series Call Me Bae was out, featuring Sood alongside producer-composer Pranay Parti. These songs mark two of several singles that have come out this year for Sood. In an interview with Rolling Stone India, he talks about having an active year so far, appearing as a musician and actor for shows and what's next.

Rolling Stone India: What has the reception for Naam Namak Nishan been like for you as both, an actor and a musician involved in the project?

Danish Pratap Sood: It has been quite an overwhelming response. People really enjoyed the mix of acting chops and the song moments in the show. I have been really grateful to showcase both of them in the same space. I am really happy people liked the show and people have been messaging us about the whereabouts of another season.
