I treat every song like a different character. It is good that people recognise my voice instantly, but as an artiste, I always try and bring some variety with each of them.
I instantly took the offer to judge 'Indian Idol' because I know the journey from being judged to judging on the same stage is going to be a memorable experience for me.
At one time in my life, I stood in queues for 'Indian Idol' auditions, and I got eliminated at Top 8 or Top 9. I could have never imagined that one day I will be judging this show where I was a contestant myself.
There is a drama queen in me, as I love acting, and I used to stand in front of the mirror and act since my childhood.
I will give full credit to the 'Indian Idol' platform for grooming me as a singer and shaping my career.
If you call yourself a singer, then you must have the ability to sing anything, whether it's pop, classical, rock, sufi, or folk.
'Tim Timtya' was different from what I usually do. I had to develop a texture to go with the song. In fact, many told me I sounded like Shreya Goshal, which came as a pleasant surprise. Transitioning from tracks like 'Sunny Sunny' to this one was quite different.
Badshah treats me like a younger sister. He is amazing to work with.
