The Winning Note..............

I got to know late...

You must be excited about winning the National Award for the third time
More than excited, Im grateful to God for this honour. I didnt know that I had won the award because I was recording and my cell phone was switched off. My mom was trying to get in touch with me frantically to break the news. Only when I got back home did I come to know about the award.



The song for which you won the award was a chart-topper for a long time


Thats the beauty of the song. When I recorded Yeh Ishq Hai (Jab We Met), I somehow knew that it would strike a chord with a lot of people. It has a beautiful vibe to it and the composition was amazing. In fact, when I was recording the number everything fell into place. I enjoyed myself thoroughly and got into the flow of things immediately.


So how important is winning a National Award


This is my third National Award and I feel over the moon! Its always good to receive recognition for the hard work you have put in. As far as converting it into work is concerned, thats not a point of concern.


You are quite a firecracker on stage as well


Its a challenge to perform on stage; any singer will vouch for that. But I like feeding off the vibe from the audience. Its a little scary also. There are times when the sound is all messed up or the musicians make mistakes on stage. As a performer you have to cover up those faults and not let the audience know. But recording and live performances are equally challenging . There are days when singers are tired and their voices dont sound up to the mark. The recording does not go that well and its frustrating for the composer and singer. But I guess these are professional hazards.


There has also been a drastic change in your image. You have become more stylish


I love dressing up. At home and at my recordings, Im dressed casually . But when I make a public appearance I like putting a fashionable foot forward. My sense of style is completely mine be it the toga style gown or the short churidaars . I dont have a stylist because its a drag to find a good one. I think with the ever-growing scrutiny from the media one tends to get a little conscious. But I see nothing wrong in dressing your age and being stylish.


So, any plans of celebrating your win


Well, as of now I havent made any plans. And I dont want to throw a party or anything. I would prefer to take a long break and go on vacation instead . Thatd be a great way to celebrate.
