The Interview

Q.1 How do you feel performing in Dubai?

A: It always feels great to perform in different parts of the world with different sorts of audiences and meet all the fans who are like my extended family. Performing after a pandemic is a blessing; it’s pure bliss for an artist like me. I am looking forward to this concert as it is the first of its kind.

Q.2 Do you have a large fan base in Dubai? What was the reaction from your fans on social media about you performing here this weekend?

A: Though there are not many Punjabi communities here like how it is in the UK, US, or India, Dubai does have a substantial fan base who love Punjabi music even if they are not Punjabi which gives me more of a kick to perform here. Surprisingly, I have received a lot of messages, message requests, and comments on my songs from Dubai so I want to thank each and every one for showing so much love and warmth before coming to Dubai.

Q.3 What are you most excited about for your trip to Dubai?

A: The food here is amazing, the vibe here is quite high and Dubai actually feels like home – I don’t feel like I am out of India. The beauty of this place is it’s a great melting pot of cultures, people, religions, and more so I love everything here. Dubai calls you back again and again and this time I’m pretty excited about the concert which I feel is going to be historic in its space.

Q.4 Tell us something exclusive! What is next for you after Dubai?

A: There is so much more in the pipeline from a big-screen Bollywood movie to music videos and new collaborations. Just wait and watch, after this concert, I’m directly traveling for a movie shoot. Work keeps me happy and I hope I can make my fans even happier with upcoming projects.
