TALKING POINT with Aditya Narayan |
Aparna Chandra |
After a film role and an album, you suddenly disappeared from the scene? I was 10 years old when I did the album. But as I approached adolescence, my voice began to crack and I was forced to make the choice of staying away, even though the offers continued. In fact, the changes in my voice haven't completely set in. So hosting Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Challenge 2007 is a way to reintroduce yourself? |
You had earned a reputation of being bratty and annoying.
At 20, I am still naughty. But I am a much humbler self. I feel like I have mind of a 30-year-old now. As for the show, I want to keep the mood casual and happy.
My father and I are very similar people. We love and respect each other, but beyond a point we don't interfere in each other's lives either. It's only human to make mistakes. Whatever the issue, it makes no difference to me. Does your father's judging Indian Idol 3 bring the competition home?
He hopes for my show to be a success and I hope the same for him. But TV rivalries hardly matter to us.
You have a diploma in English contemporary music. You seem to have more on your mind.
My secret ambition is to launch myself as an English singer. That's why the course.
