The Kashmiri rakes in more than 15 lakh votes on the reality show Fame Gurukul for talent and his hair.
Is this the first time you're singing on stage?
I've been dancing and acting since I was a child. Never thought I'd be a singer till I saw the ads for Fame Gurukul's audition.
Why do you think millions vote for you every week?
I don't know. It's unbelievable how people are reacting to me. Perhaps I bring emotion to my songs.
Do you think it's your hairstyle?
Maybe some vote for my personality and the entire package but others say they really like my voice. I'm surprised when they say it's my hairstyle.
Were you a big reality show fan?
Yeah, I voted in Indian Idol. I used to shoot myself constantly on a handycam just to see how I behave and look.
Do you want to be an actor or singer now?
I want to be a superstar—sing, dance and act.
Do you want to go back to Srinagar?
For my holidays. I want to stay in Bombay, work here and become a big star.
What do you like most about Bombay?
This is my first time in Bombay and I love it. People are so supportive of me and my talent.
Did you really win baby competitions and body-building competitions?
Yes, I won baby competitions in Kashmir and later I was a body-builder too.
There's a web poll on whether you should cut your hair. How would you vote?
I'm famous because of my hair. So I'll keep it.
We hear you're "born beautiful".
I was misquoted. I just meant my looks, complexion and hairstyle are all natural.
