Music drives you. It wakes you up, it gets you pumping. And, at the end of the day, the correct tune will chill you down.

A great composition or lyrics no longer decide whether something is good. What matters is, how much has it been seen.

I don't usually watch my films in theatres when they release.

Good content, in any form, works, and what is not good, won't work. It's simple.

It's a great responsibility playing a real-life character because the person has reached a certain position after undergoing a lot of things.

As for what attracts me to 'Rising Star,' it's undoubtedly the live format.

I've never wished for people to recognise me or anything.

Now that I have the access and money, I spend all of it on clothes and shoes. I have no other pursuits. I don't drink or smoke.

All work is important, no matter who gives it to you.

I am very shy on set. I don't talk much.

The only thing I consider before signing a project is that my fans should like it. I understand my responsibility towards my fans.

I don't feel like a celebrity. I did not sign 'Udta Punjab' to increase my fan following.

I don't do anything keeping Bollywood in mind.

June is definitely a special month for me as many of my milestone films have released in this month, but that doesn't mean I consciously choose to release my films only in this month.

People used to think I am wearing turban so maybe I won't act. Then Bollywood happened. So on its own things have happened in my career.

If I don't like anything I say no to it.

I am not running after money in Bollywood, I am experimenting with films and roles here.

I don't compose rap songs or party numbers. I only compose folk.

I have never looked at myself as a star.

For me, Michael Jackson was a star. Amitabh Bachchan and Salman Khan are stars. They are the ones who own and carry stardom.

I am very happy that in the second year of my acting career in Bollywood I got to do a biopic.

Youngsters in Punjab have a borrowed mindset, music and fashion sense from Canada and Hollywood because a large number of our relatives are settled abroad.

My mother never told me anything, she is just concerned about my happiness. She only watches my shows, not my films. In fact, we never discuss films.

Many a times, I have felt that I am not alone and I am being followed by someone, but it's always a good entity.
