When asked about the most challenging song he has sung, he doesn’t hesitate: “Teri Mitti was incredibly tough. I had to convey emotions that would make people feel an instant connection with their motherland.”
Given the powerful lyrics of his songs, does he involve himself in the writing process as well? “Bilkul! If I don’t, then how will the song truly be ours?” he says. “I get involved right from the song’s inception. But honestly, with lyricists like Jaani, I rarely have to say anything — they do their job beautifully.” Beyond music, he acknowledges the weight of his words as an artiste. “A public figure must always be mindful of what they say, and the same applies to lyrics. Words have power, and we must ensure they don’t hurt anyone’s sentiments.”
