I admire Asha Bhonsle and Sonu Nigam a lot, because they are the singers who really fit their voice with such an ease in any type of song. It could be a classical no. or it could be a Bhajan, Romantic song. Any thing it could be.

Replied with a smile… No, I am concentrating on my singing only and I want to establish my self as good singer. I would like to perform only in my album videos. But generally I get offers for acting than that of singing.
