It's a dream come true as I await the release of my debut single 'Krazy Konnection' with Salim Merchant and then my debut album!
Emoting songs onscreen comes naturally to me since we do emote in the studio behind the mike as well. But acting in a full-length Bollywood film is a completely different ball game.
In the West, Rihanna, Chris Brown, Justin Bieber are the face of their songs.
Outside India, Chris Brown, Bruno Mars, Beyonce, and Rihanna are my favourites. I also like Justin Bieber. I like Western jazz and pop. Been a classical singer, I have sung a song 'Auliya,' a fusion of Western and Indian classical.
I love dabbling in various genres and languages.
We love food. After our studio session, we devour dal makhani, butter chicken, and butter naan.
Nowadays, we have become so busy in our work, especially in our phone, that we don't go out for workout. It creates a lot of health problems.
There are many people who are behind whatever I've achieved so far. My dad, Daboo Malik, is my mentor and guiding light who supported and influenced me. Without him, I wouldn't have been able to be what I am today. Besides him, Salman Khan is yet another important person who is my biggest and constant inspiration.
I think pressure exists in a situation only when you are unsure of your talent and people are expecting a lot from you due to your lineage.
For an individual, playback singing is not enough to sustain a career, and it is not really a main source of income.
Tollywood has a special place in my heart because Telugu is my mother tongue, and when I sing in the language, my mom feels really happy.
In my case, of course, people had a lot of expectations, but that didn't pressurise me because I'm pretty confident about my musicality and my talent.
I want to be in a more natural state while doing acting.
Around eight or nine years back, I participated in 'Sa Re Ga Ma Pa.' The point of coming on the show was that a person coming from music family can also compete with people from all over India.
There is no physical activity. All entertainment is happening in phone. Films can also be seen in laptop, so no one is visiting cinema halls.
'Foolishq' from 'Ki & Ka' gave me a chance to work with renowned composer Ilaiyaraaja and Shreya Ghoshal.
English and world music were something that I had immense love for, and to get together with a fellow Indian and bring this sound and vibe to the world feels great.
It is very important to highlight the young talent of India.
