It's my fans, I am always excited to perform for them here. Dubai is my favourite place after Mumbai.
Yes. I will be doing a couple of new Gujarati as well as Bollywood numbers. I will also be performing my latest song, Radha Ne Shyam, which was released recently.
As a child, I used to perform at Bollywood stage shows regularly. In those days, Garba music used to be mainly instrumental pieces and I would be a member of the chorus line. I could never stand still when singing and used to move around all the time. It happened that during one of the shows, someone from the audience shouted out to me asking me to come in front of the stage and sing. That's how I sang my first Garba tune and the rest is history.
I had noticed that whenever the beats and melody blended well, people would enjoy dancing to it. So what I did was, took traditional folk music and added a Bollywood flavour to it. That's how it started.
Garba/Dandiya is no longer celebrated by the Gujarati community alone. Everyone in India, and elsewhere take part in the festival now. Earlier, Garba used to be held in households or compounds between building blocks, but as the festival started gaining popularity, it moved to bigger venues to accommodate larger crowds. Now, the event has become more organised and also has a global outlook and appeal.
I have always got wonderful responses from the audience wherever I've performed. What I observed during my performances abroad is that Indians want to be connected to their traditions and culture. But having said that, I must say that Mumbai is my favourite place to perform.
Kesariyo Rang. It is my favourite song.
