Can you describe yourself in three words?

I am a straightforward and hard-working person, who dislikes causing people any kind of harm.

who is your inspiration?

I grew up in a culturally rich family; I was always surrounded by music. Our abode was like a cultural hub for me. My entire childhood was surrounded with memories of my mother devotedly practising her music throughout the day. I was raised with a colossal influence of the arts upon me. It was only natural for me to embrace my surrounding and enter the arena of arts and culture. My biggest inspiration is my family.

What is your favourite childhood memory?

My favourite childhood memory is from the time I first performed onstage.

Your favourite Vacation destination  in the world?

Tennessee, usa. Elvis Presley's home there. I grew up listening to Elvis Presley. After listening to his songs, I dreamed of becoming an singer.

What's the motivation behind directing your own music videos?

During my childhood, photography was a hobby, which helps me to lead direction these days. I love directing my own music video because there is a story in the video what others may not treat the way I would.

If you could work with any international artist, dead or alive, who would you choose?

I would love to work with Elvis Presley.

You receive much adulation from your fans. what is that like?

People's love is like divine grace for me. I see it positively and enjoy it at the same time.

How do you stay connected with them?

I operate my Facebook page myself. Like, right now I am browsing it as we speak. I love managing my fan page; it helps me build up a connection with my audiences directly.

What is your childhood dream?

I dreamt of becoming a Actor.

Who was your first celebrity crush?

My first celebrity crush was Jennifer Aniston.

What is your favourite movie of all time?

Braveheart is one of my most favourite movies.

What is your hobby?

I was a bookworm and loved reading books. One of my most favourite writers is Rabindranath Tagore. I also enjoyed the works of Nazrul and Shirshendu. These days I do not have any specific leisure activity. I always dive deep into the realms of music and spend most of my time singing and playing the guitar.

How do you look at the future?

I am very hopeful about the future. But, I feel despair when I see a person getting everything without completely mastering the arts and even society starts giving them too much value and appreciation. Ultimately they lose their identity as an artist. In this era of modernisation, I want everyone to be true to their roots and never forget their culture. I want the music industry to never derail from its track. I want the new artists to embrace music with open arms. They must also work with commitment, humility and honesty.
