Badshah

I think if you are a talented person, your story makes you a bigger star rather than the art.

When I started listening to rap music, I loved the fact that there were stories being told in 16 bars.

The first rap that I wrote was about my Maths teacher, and as expected, he didn't like it, but the students loved it!

Never have I ever come across any woman who is imperfect!

I want to write music based on my life, my past experiences and heartbreaks.

Haters will be haters, you have got to acknowledge them and move on as the ratio of love to hate is too high.

I studied hard and completed my engineering. And I also pursued music that was my passion.

I would love to act in films if people think I am right for a particular role.

It's an incredible experience to interact with fans in first person, get immediate responses to your music and see the madness that your music creates.

Hip hop minus plugged sounds can be a very different experience.

Shah Rukh Khan's stardom always inspires me. His sensibilities, way of life and the way he does business, I love him for that.

So many kids meet me and they get disappointed. They ask me to wear shades and behave in the way I do in my songs. Then I have to explain it to them that I am like this in real life, more composed, chilled out and cool.
