Pollywood call: I am from Chandigarh, so would love to do something in Punjab. Not sure if it would be music videos. Got a couple of offers of Punjabi films as well, but it did not work out. I would love to work with Diljit at some point in my career.

Lyrics or music: I connect with lyrics first and if the music is great, it’s just a bonus.
