THE FIRST QUESTION IS ALWAYS A CLICHÉD ONE. TELL US ABOUT YOUR MUSICAL JOURNEY AND HOW IT ALL STARTED.

Since I was a child, I was always drawn towards music and was lucky that my parents never stopped me from being on stage, perform and participate in competitions. In fact, nobody from my family are into music or musicians and that is why I consider myself very lucky that my parents never stopped me. They always appreciated that I was so excited to perform, sing and learn music. During school and college, I kept learning music and Indian Classicial Music was the most important thing at that time. I listened to a lot of Bhajans. My parents exposed me to some Gazzals by Jagjit Ji and I was drawn a lot towards semi classical songs. I always liked to sing tougher songs. That is how it all started. Finally, in college I got a teacher to train and I took part in Pop Stars.

YOU WERE ONE OF THE WINNERS AT CHANNEL V'S POP STARS. WAS THIS A GOOD START IN YOUR OPINION? 

There would not have been any other way for me to enter the industry as I don’t come from a family of musicians and it was a huge opportunity for me and to be a girl next door and be called as the country’s pop star and perform in concerts all over the world.

WE HAVE HEARD THAT YOU ARE A VERY GOOD DANCER AS WELL AND IN YOUR SCHOOL DAYS ALSO BEEN A PART OF THE NCC CADET. CAN YOU ELABORATE A BIT MORE ON THESE FOR US TO KNOW WHAT A COMPLETE TALENTED PACKAGE YOU ARE? 

I was always drawn towards singing, dancing and acting together. Watching musicals was something I loved doing. Whenever I watched Indian movies, nobody told me that the singer, actor and choreographer were all different. I thought one person did it all. I wanted to be that and by the time I realized, it was a huge shock for me. I still find it amusing that most kids think that the actors are singing themselves.
