Apart from being a playback singer for films, I'm also an independent musician.
There are two things that I hold close to my heart. One is that I got the opportunity to playback sing for actor Mr. Amitabh Bachchan and second was working with playback singer Lata Mangeshkar.
I am happy being a playback singer and performer.
I love doing my music videos. I have grown up loving independent music and I am more of a performer than a playback singer and hence I want that if it's my voice, then it should be my face too.
I should say that being independent in the modern model means independent in a very interdependent world. An independent Scotland is not apart from the rest of the United Kingdom.
There is a conception about me that I am a playback singer and I sing for albums or for films only, but my roots are in bhajans. Even when I was in school, I used to win competitions for ghazals and bhajans.
My dream is to take the Indian independent music scene to an international level. People like Alisha Chinai, Baba Sehgal and Daler Mehndi took it to a very high level. My ultimate target is to win a Grammy. I don't want to primarily be a Bollywood playback singer.
In the beginning, it wasn't even a question of deciding I'm going to do independent film and not commercial films - I wasn't being offered any commercial films, and there wasn't an independent scene.
I am a hybrid. I do independent films and also do Hollywood films - I love them both.
You've got these big studio films and these tiny independent films now. It's very much either/or. With the independent films, it's always a beautiful risk - it might never be seen. With the studio films, you're conforming to the formula of what's always been in place.
It's very challenging to be a playback singer in Bollywood.
I want to be a playback singer and make my name big.
At the end of the day, a playback singer has to depend on live shows as their source of income.
I managed to make an identity as a playback singer in the industry; I thought I'll never be able to do that.
Which is why I felt I was truly blessed this year, with leads in two nice films, and also the luxury of being able to do a studio film and an independent afterwards was fantastic.
My grandfather is a musician, my son is a musician and a singer. My mother played the piano too.
I know my own weaknesses as a human being, and as a musician, as a singer and as a woman.
