I do see music as complete refuge. It's a universal home, complete common ground between everyone; it comes from a place that has no nation and no boundaries around it.
The whole point of creativity is that it has no boundaries of language, region, and age.
I guess people feel that if you're working with good directors and are known in the Hindi film industry, then you won't work in South films. However, I believe that films have no boundaries of language, religion, or cast. If it's a good script and a good director, I can do a film in Spanish as well.
Beauty has no boundaries, no rules, no colors. Beauty is like a religion. You can include everything inside it.
There should be no boundaries, no hierarchy, no violence. Men and women are equal.
Nelson Mandela, Dada Vaswani, Harsh Mander, Shabana Azmi - I admire their humanitarian work. But sadly even Nelson Mandela could not keep corruption out of his cabinet and within a year, I am told, the victims of apartheid turned into perpetrators of corruption on their own people. Greed has no boundaries of colour or country does it?
Music is a universal thing with no boundaries, whether you play inside or outside.
Fame for fame's sake is toxic - some people want that, with no boundaries. It's unhealthy.
