People are genuinely interested in other human beings and their stories.
Breaking expectations, even as an audience member, is something that I have enjoyed.
My idea of romance is pretty old school.
I love romantic comedies. When I am at home, and if I want to watch something, I would probably watch a romantic comedy.
I want to be a pan-India artist.
My South Indian audience matters to me a lot, so I like when they watch my Bollywood films. It feels great.
It is a conscious decision that I do films in different languages.
I am open to playback singing, but only if my acting schedule permits. I would love to sing for myself in my films, but that depends on the director and if the makers think my voice is needed.
I've never acted with my father, but we have always connected through music. He has been a great influence musically. He has always been encouraging about my music and is always happy when I sing.
Music has always been my passion.
I am nomadic by nature.
I take offence if I'm called arrogant, because I've been brought up in a family that does not endorse arrogance.
I have always been a fan of Mahesh Manjrekar's work. I like the way he tells his stories. He manages to focus on aspects of human beings and of society, which we don't often see in cinema.
In Mahesh Manjrekar's films, women find their way into a realistic story in the most convincing way.
I am very bad at schmoozing, and I'm not overtly charming in social situations.
Blues, rock, and soul are part of the music I make, but there are Indian influences, too.
I started out dabbling in rock and roll; then I did playback, and I have also sung for my own songs on screen.
I want to act in films and use all my financial resources to fund independent music.
I love Mumbai for many reasons.
I love the Mumbai monsoons, but it really does get messy.
