Nothing beats the food of Delhi.

I only sang bhajans from 4 to 16 years.

Singing from the heart is my only goal.

Honey Singh has tremendous energy on stage.

It feels great when your work gets appreciated.

There is no hit formula to make it big in Bollywood.

I believe in entertaining the audiences with whatever I do.

I want people to hear me and say, 'Oh my God, what a voice.'

It was Delhi that gave me the platform to achieve my dreams.

I love experimenting; as a singer, one needs to be versatile.

I am a Delhiite, and my journey as a singer began in the city.

I try to do different things which I'm happy people are loving.

When Guru Randhawa and I sang, people really liked our chemistry.

Badshah treats me like a younger sister. He is amazing to work with.

You should know that you need talent, passion, and luck to be a singer.

I was born in Rishikesh, but when I was around two or three, we shifted to Delhi.

Many young people even tell me that 'You inspire us to do something big in life.'

Film budgets are huge. They can afford to promote each and every song in their album.

As a performer, you want your audience to have as much fun as you are having on stage.

I feel whatever happens, happens for a reason. I am just glad the way my journey worked out.

I got my first blockbuster break for the movie 'Cocktail,' where I sang 'Second Hand Jawani.'

I am an extremely energetic person, and my party songs have managed to click with the listeners.

Two best friends can totally say they love and adore each other, without any meaning of romance.

I am fortunate to be successful. People's love is precious to me. I can never take that for granted.

I will give full credit to the 'Indian Idol' platform for grooming me as a singer and shaping my career.

I knew that I wanted to sing right from the age of four, and till I was 16, I only sang at Mata ki Chowkis.

Be it a private event or a college fest or the occasional wedding sangeet, my visits to Noida are frequent.

Going out with friends for a nice dinner and then attending the midnight mass are some of the memories I cherish.

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.

My sister Sonu and my brother Tony have taught me a lot. I owe them so much. Whatever I am today is because of my family.

In selfie pictures, there is no human touch; it's all about the pose. But selfie videos have sound, actions, and emotions.

My schedule is such that even though I visit several cities for performances, I hardly get the time to explore any of them.

Whenever I sing, I try to make it different, the sound that you've never heard before, and put something new, which people love.

If you call yourself a singer, then you must have the ability to sing anything, whether it's pop, classical, rock, sufi, or folk.

Even though I perform at all kinds of functions, college events are always my favourite because of the kind of energy you get there.

Many young people come to me and tell me that 'You inspire us with the way you perform, even if you are a girl with a short height.'

Wherever I go, people behave like a very big superstar has entered, and I am never able to believe that they all are talking about me.

Since childhood, me and my mother are fond of this popular song 'Tu Kitni Achhi Hai, Tu Kitni Bholi Hai' from the film 'Raja Aur Rank.'

People love me when I do selfie videos, so I know they like me in music videos as well. Otherwise, I would have just been a playback singer.

I have won the hearts of many. So that matters more than any award. The love of my 'Nehearts' - my fans, is more than inspiring and encouraging.

People in Mumbai are not really into Punjabi music, whereas those in Delhi and Gurgaon love Punjabi numbers and are totally into the peppy music.

There are so many young singers I meet from Delhi, and I am sure they will attain heights some day. They all are very good, and I am very proud of them.

When people hear you singing songs which are done as playback, they don't see you. But when you perform live, they expect you to be interacting with them.

My siblings' first songs in Bollywood - 'Baabuji Zara Dheere' and 'Saawan Aaya Hai' were huge hits. There is no rivalry between us, and we love and support each other.

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.

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.

The fact that I am not formally trained never really bothered me. There were times I knew it could have been a brownie point, had I been trained, but it never pulled me back.

I think my selfies are the main reason for my fan following on social networking sites. These photos and videos are liked and shared by the followers, and consequently, they go viral.

A film album has these big stars - like a Shah Rukh Khan or a Salman Khan. Independent music videos don't have that luxury, and you cannot feature big stars in all the songs of your album.

Coming from Mumbai, the one thing that always amazes me about Noida is the roads here. Such wide roads are something you don't get to see in Mumbai. Driving around here is surely a pleasure.
