How have your parents reacted to your music and success?
My father is my guru. He used to play the harmonium. As a child, I used to come back from school and sit beside him and learn while my brothers would go out and play.
When I wanted to make my own music, I wanted to do it myself. I didn't want to sound like other people. My family was a bit worried about me. But my father has always been supportive. He loved the fact that I was distracted by music and wanted me to do something in that field. But I don't think he ever thought I would take it to this level. Now, he's content.
What next?
Priyadharshan's De Dhana Dhan. Producers are also approaching me now, and I'm looking at a few scripts.
