I'm mentally agile.
I've enjoyed my life. There has been great tragedy but also moments of great happiness. I've taken both in my stride, and if I were to replay my life, I would do it all over again.
I enjoy keeping busy, and fortunately for me, there's a large audience out there who are keen to hear me sing. It's their love and affection that keep me going.
If you don't try out new things, then you will be left behind.
I was approached for acting roles when I was young. I had said that I look into the mirror every day and don't think my face suits for the big screen. So I will not do the films.
My songs would be nothing had it not been for my father. I follow his footsteps.
'Nakhrewali' is one of my favourite songs.
I love every song that I did with Pancham and Gulzarbhai.
I instinctively felt Pancham and Gulzarbhai were meant to make music together.
I love to cook, and both Pancham and Gulzarbhai loved to eat. Gulzarbhai loves my karela ghosht and my Bengali kheer.
Gulzarbhai is a very special artist.
Most of my colleagues have been insulated in Indian music alone - they did not think of the world beyond what they knew - but I always did and still do.
I always enjoyed singing and working with the late Kishore Kumar. He was a legendary playback singer, an actor, and a producer/director.
I prefer films and dramas based on families and relationships - films which focus on love and harmony.
With singing, you get lost in the music - I go into another world when I'm singing.
I just hope that my fans continue to like my work.
I have sung in all languages, and so every people know me - Gujarati, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu.
I like to meet new people and learn about their cultures - new cultures.
I love to travel.
I am always active.
