Don't you feel the pressure of being compared to legendary singers in your family?
I personally do not take any pressure on me to live up to them but yes people do expect a lot from me. I feel blessed to have inherited musical genes from them.

Lata ji has been hearing me from the time when I was a kid. She has always appreciated my singing.

What kind of songs would you like to sing?
I believe it is all upon music director. While they are composing a song they already have the singer's voice in their mind. I want Music Directors to decide for me that what kind of song will suit my voice be it sad song or an item number.

What do you have to say about your generation singers coming from reality shows?
Everybody is not blessed to have association with great names like me that Sa re ga ma jaisi company samne se aaker album banati hai aisa naseeb sabko toh nahi milta. In my opinion reality shows are good platform to showcase your talent.
