Badshah

I feel it is important to remember who you are if you want to make it in life - and I try not to forget that fact even for a moment.

The image that is on screen is very different from who I am in real life.

I stick to Hindi rap. That is my USP. It gives an Indian essence to my music despite the foreign influence of the genre.

It's fine if you are on TV and people are taking pictures with you but where is the money? That is what parents are concerned about.

I don't have an MBA, I don't have a qualification in music, but I am doing both - business and music - and I am doing quite well.

I think you have to be a father to understand those feelings… that happiness of being a father.

I am extremely excited to be working with Major Lazer on the Tuborg Open Project, which is an amazing platform for global and cultural amalgamation of music.

I am comfortable doing independent music; it gives me more freedom as an artiste.

Trust me, the person who sings his/her heart out, laughs loud and dances like no one is watching, is the beautiful one.

The shopping centres that have come up in Noida are amazing. There are amusement parks and other good family outing spots.

I come from a humble background, where my family was struggling to be called middle class.

I want to be a family entertainer.
