Do you believe in luck?

When you look back at your career and life, can you recall an incident where you felt luck was on your side?

Whenever I am in a problem, I somehow always get help. I feel that it is luck. There are many incidents in my life where I got what I didn’t even expect. I used to stay on rent when I came to Mumbai. My daughter was born, I wanted her to stay in her house, our house. Soon, after three months, I moved into my own house. Also, how I got my audition approved in Sa Re Ga Ma Pa is another story based on luck.

Do you believe in manifestations?

I had manifested a life where I could live happy and independent, and I am living that life.

In any profession, goodwill and references make all the difference in terms of opportunities. Do you agree?

Yes, goodwill and references make a difference in the opportunities one gets, but what is more important is hard work. It is important to meet new people to get more work.
