Yes. This is like a dream come true for me. This will be a pure, classical album for those who value and patronise this kind of music. But you can't classify the album as hard-core classical. We are working on different sounds and combination of instruments. I am sure people will appreciate our sincere effort.
Much has been written about your relationship with your wife Madhurima. It has been speculated that your marriage is over and she is staying separately with her parents. But you have always refrained from commenting on this issue. Why?
I don't think anybody has the right to know about my personal life, unless I decide to share the information with others. Actually, life is cool and fine with me. I am at peace, and the kind of good work I am doing can only be possible when I am at peace with myself and there is peace in my family. I don't like to include my family and Madhurima in my interviews or in professional matters. They are very special to me and I would like to keep my affairs with them private.
But was there trouble in paradise?
As an artist and singer, I am very selfish and let nothing affect me. But let my work speak for me…If you see the kind of work I am doing, you'll understand that I am in harmony with my life; I am well and there is no trouble.
With marital problems afflicting almost every other musician in the playback business, it seems like you have managed to maintain harmony .
It's by the grace of God. I keep myself away from unwanted controversies. I will never get caught with an unlicensed gun, or kissing someone in public. I don't subscribe to such cheap gimmickry.
You were linked with Sunidhi Chauhan?
I don't want to talk about these rumours as I don't care. It's about compatibility and if you want to know about my friends, I will talk a lot about my friendship with Lataji.
