I have been exposed to different kinds of Marathi and Hindi music, classical music, and English songs since childhood.
My mother's brother is a very good singer. My grandfather took up classical singing lessons and learnt to play the harmonium.
In Hindi films, there is a definite slot for every character and situation.
I don't think about how many times how many heroines have said 'I love you' to how many heroes on screen and that I am also doing the same. It is how differently I can say the same thing in my own style or how I can bring a new element into it.
I never planned my career in the film industry, in acting. Yes, I always liked acting, but never ever I thought it would be my profession. I wanted to study, since my family has an academic background.
I have been known to do a lot of glamorous, glossy songs in A-lister set-ups. This was unlike that. 'Blackmail' is a gritty film, so the song is also very different from what I have done before.
I have never shied away from experimental roles.
