Throughout my career I've never worried about who will be singing my song on the screen.

I was about 17 when I began my career.

Mentoring is an interesting job.

My father, Aparesh Lahiri, was a musician too, and at a very young age, I was geared up for a career in music.

I don't think the 9/11 attacks taught us anything we didn't already know about religion. It has long been obvious - even to the deeply religious - that religious fanaticism is an extremely dangerous deranger of otherwise sane and goodhearted people.

Everyone - regardless of their background, wealth, race, faith, gender, sexual orientation or age - should be able to fulfil their potential and succeed.

It's just so fragile. The growing sense of 'Oh, God, what am I doing? Am I any good? Will I ever work again?' All those questions of self doubt, they do creep in.

In the film industry, we work more on the basis of good faith and verbal commitments rather than legalities.
