So it was a opportunity for me to have this girl interviewed ,Perhaps this is the first Interview by an Artist in "Prakhyath Rai's Blog".The extract is as below.

  1.Some Legends say that a True Singer Must be able to smile and cry with music.What do you say for this?

Ans:Expressions are as important while singing as sur. One has to feel the song and imbibe its essence while singing. I would say a true singer should be able to make the listener smile or cry as per the mood of the song.

2.There are many Budding Singers who want to touch the fame like you gained. What is your sincere advice for a budding singer to become a Great singer like you?

Ans:To be honest, I try everyday to become a great singer and the journey is unending. My advice to the budding singers would be to first focus on the basics of singing, then try to sing with a feel and then try to leave a unique impression of an individual in the rendition. All this to reach the heights in the art form. To achieve commercial success, we all know how much the networking, chasing around people and "luck" plays a part in the journey.
  

3.How did your family  Support you  in your early singing life?

Ans:I have been singing since my childhood and my family supported and encouraged me in every possible way all this while. They made me participate in various singing competitions, took me to different cities for the same, helped me get a formal education in classical music, helped me in coping up with my studies whenever needed, got me the required equipments/instruments needed for my music and the list goes on! 

4.So how does it feel to be a singer  in a great college(IIT,Mumbai)??

Ans:Yes, I have done M.Tech in Computer Science Engineering from IIT Bombay and destiny landed me up at IIT Bombay. There is a great cultural atmosphere in the institute and I had a superb tenure there with my technical and music buddies. At the end of the day it feels great to have an association with one of the greatest engineering institutes in the world and I am proud of it.

5.How is music and Life related according to you? Have you ever imagined a life without Music?

Ans:There has never been a day when music did not happen to me. Music and life came to me together when I was born and will be with me forever. I think any musician would share the feeling.

6."Behind every successful man there is a woman" ...Did the viceversa happened in your case?

Ans:Of course, I would deeply acknowledge and thank the contributions of my father, husband and brother in my music journey till now. In fact the music genes in me come from my father!

7. How did these Social networking sites helped in your Fame?

Ans:As we all know how important is networking in this industry to get in touch with the right people. Social networking sites did play a great role in my case in getting in touch with other musicians. I was a part of some online music forums where I found very talented composers, lyricists & singers and we collaborated to create some really good original music. My albums are a result of such online collaborations.
