FunTranscript
00:00First of all, welcome to INS.
00:02Thank you so much.
00:04First of all, we would like to know,
00:06you are a beautiful blend, retro charm with modern sensibility.
00:08What inspired you to create this track and how personal is it to you?
00:14When it comes to inspiration,
00:16it was not that special that I wanted to make such a song.
00:22But I had a desire that if an old school romantic song comes,
00:28it may be a good thing for all of us.
00:32Because the way we work,
00:34we try to find variety in our songs.
00:36And the vision of this song was very clear that I want to make such a song.
00:40Plus, there were a lot of references and inspirations.
00:44When we study in childhood,
00:46if we mix blue with yellow, it becomes green.
00:50Similarly, if we can mix traditional things with modernity and make a third product,
00:56people will like it a lot.
00:58And that is what we are trying to do.
01:02The lyrics of this song seem to be poetic and emotional.
01:06Can you share a special line from Tu Jaise Dalia and the story behind it?
01:12First of all, let me tell you that this song is jointly written by me and my friend Armaan Sharma.
01:18And there is a line from this song that
01:20Aaj Bhi Tu Tu Kal Mera, Mere Dil Ki Rah Pe Haq Tera,
01:24Meri Jaan Kabhi Na Jaana Soni Hai,
01:26Tu Jaise Dariya Mein Hoon Kinara Tera
01:28This is my favorite line because
01:30if you remember, about 20 years ago,
01:33there was a song by Kailash Kher,
01:35in which he said
01:37Tujhe Jeet Jeet Haaroon, Tere Praan Praan Vaaroon,
01:40Hai Aise Main Naharoon, Tere Aarti Utaaroon
01:42So, there is a kind of romance in today's songs as well.
01:48This is important and that is also important.
01:50So, we have tried to keep a sense of old schoolness in our songs.
01:56So that people of today can understand
02:02what is the effect of old love in life.
02:07You have composed, written and sung this song.
02:10So, which role do you enjoy the most and why?
02:12Composing.
02:14Because I have a slightly different story.
02:17The story with me is that
02:19this works faster than this.
02:21In terms of music.
02:23So, although I am not that good as a singer,
02:25but I enjoy composing songs.
02:29And that's the most important thing which I love doing.
02:33And yeah, that's it.
02:35Independent music is thriving in India.
02:37So, how do you see your place in the evolving music landscape?
02:41It's going well.
02:42Everyone is doing very well.
02:43All the people, all our colleagues,
02:45people of my age, people older than me,
02:47people younger than me,
02:49are doing very well.
02:51And everyone has their own genre,
02:53everyone has their own style.
02:55They are following that style
02:57and they are bringing a lot of smartness in their music.
03:00So, whatever is going to happen,
03:02it will be good.
03:06You have collaborated with Sreeshah Bhagwantula on Ujjain,
03:11which received immense love.
03:13So, how was the experience?
03:15And do you plan more collaborations in the future?
03:17Yeah, definitely.
03:19First of all, it feels good
03:21when someone appreciates your song
03:23and gives it so much love.
03:25Secondly, as far as Ujjain is concerned,
03:27Ujjain was
03:29perfectly
03:31fit
03:33in Sreeshah's voice.
03:35And she has sung it beautifully.
03:37That's so kind of her that
03:39in one go,
03:41she said,
03:43yes, we are going to collaborate on this.
03:45And as far as the future is concerned,
03:47a lot of collaborations are yet to come.
03:49A lot of songs are yet to come.
03:51We are just waiting
03:53to see what the next song
03:55is going to present.
03:57Because if I bring a war cry song
03:59after Tu Jaise Dariya,
04:01you obviously won't like it.
04:03But we are just waiting to see
04:05what the next song is going to be.
04:07Music to label outfit has a same creative process.
04:09Did T-Series give you complete freedom
04:11or was there any
04:13compromise you had to make?
04:15No, what compromise would you make?
04:17You get freedom everywhere.
04:19Someone likes that freedom,
04:21someone doesn't.
04:23I liked it.
04:25Every time you are making a song,
04:27you have to
04:29keep one thing in mind
04:31that if you make songs
04:33in solitude and you don't take
04:35anyone's advice, then you
04:37become a king.
04:39People's presence is very important in your life.
04:41If you surround yourself with good people
04:43who can give you a good opinion,
04:45then take that opinion.
04:47Think about
04:49that opinion
04:51and then decide what's good
04:53and what's wrong.
04:55Some critics argue that modern love songs
04:57lack depth
04:59compared to old classics.
05:01So, do you think
05:03Tu Jaise Dariya are challenges this time?
05:05I won't talk about challenges
05:07but
05:09look,
05:11our
05:13father and uncle's age
05:15would obviously like Kishore Kumar more
05:17and today's generation
05:19would like Arjit Singh more.
05:21There is a time difference
05:23but there is always
05:25an effort to
05:27blend things
05:29and make a
05:31traditional way of making music
05:33and if we mix it
05:35with today's modernity and
05:37other things,
05:39the product will always be good
05:41because music has always been
05:43a pure hobby.
05:45There is no dirt in the hobby
05:47but this is the way
05:49that if we make good songs
05:51and have a sense of
05:53purity and originality, then it will always be good.
05:55If given a chance,
05:57would you prefer to come out as a Bollywood superstar
05:59or continue building your own
06:01independent music brand?
06:03I am always behind them.
06:05I have two movies.
06:07They are not giving it to me
06:09but they will definitely give it to me.
06:11They do
06:13a very good job.
06:15Whether it is
06:17related to me or anything else,
06:19I just have one movie in my mind
06:21that when will I compose a song for Shahrukh Khan
06:23and when will Javed sir write for me
06:25and when will Shankar Malik sing for me.
06:27Many artists
06:29feel that Bollywood often overshadows
06:31independent musicians.
06:33Do you think Indian artists
06:35like yourself get the recognition
06:37they truly deserve?
06:39If
06:41I am capable
06:43or if any artist
06:45is capable, then he will definitely
06:47get recognition. That's it.
06:49No matter what.
06:51How do you
06:53see your journey?
06:55Like you came from Kanpur
06:57and your journey up to here,
06:59how do you see your journey?
07:01The journey has been very short
07:03but I have enjoyed it a lot.
07:05It has not even been 10% yet.
07:07I have come to the first station of the train.
07:09There is still a long way to go.
07:11I hope
07:13I get to see a lot of sights,
07:15a lot of
07:17happy moments,
07:19some ups and downs as well.
07:21It's not that I live my life like God.
07:23But yeah, looking forward to this.
07:25Did you have any dream
07:27when you came here?
07:29Did you have a dream
07:31to fulfill it?
07:33Did you want to sing for actors
07:35or for a good brand?
07:37Every musician has a dream
07:39to be signed by a big label.
07:41To sing for the world.
07:43To get a
07:45back-end push.
07:47So, whether it's me
07:49or anyone else,
07:51it's a dream.
07:53It's a wish of a person
07:55to get all this.
07:57God has shown his mercy
07:59that I got that touchwood.
08:01And I got more.
08:03So, that's it.
08:05Let's play a fun segment.
08:07If you could cast any Bollywood couple
08:09in a Daryan music video like you,
08:11who would it be and why?
08:13Ranbir and Alia.
08:15When I made this song,
08:17it had a video concept.
08:19I had
08:21a video in my mind
08:23and I wanted it to be
08:25very similar around,
08:27near and about.
08:29It was Kesariya.
08:31So, I still say that
08:33if this song is picturized
08:35on Ranbir, Kapoor and Alia Bhatt,
08:37it will be great.
08:39Imagine you are stuck in the cassette era.
08:41Which one song would you keep playing on to?
08:43Tu Jaise Dariya.
08:45If this song
08:47had been released at that time,
08:49I would have listened to it again.
08:51But you like Bollywood songs.
08:53Bollywood songs,
08:55some people will say,
08:57others won't.
08:59If Tu Jaise Dariya has to be
09:01recreated in a
09:03completely different genre
09:05like rock, EDM or classical,
09:07which one would you pick?
09:09This song won't go to rock.
09:11This song won't go to EDM.
09:13Although, this song is a very famous rag
09:15on hums.
09:17So, classical would be
09:19a better option out of these three.
09:23Which is the weirdest or funniest
09:25fan comment you have received on your songs?
09:27Funniest fan comment?
09:33Someone had sent me a comment
09:35on Uljan that
09:37what is the reason behind Uljan?
09:39You haven't told me yet.
09:41So, if you make a song on Uljan in the next song,
09:43it would be great.
09:45Although, the idea is good but I didn't get it.
09:47If you had to describe
09:49Tu Jaise Dariya
09:51using just emojis,
09:53which one would you choose?
09:55I would choose
09:57the emoji
09:59where you
10:01put your heart on your eyes.
10:03It's an excited emoji.
10:07I don't know the exact name of it.
10:15What message would you like to give to your fans?
10:19First of all, to all my fans
10:21who are my friends,
10:23I would like to tell you
10:25to keep giving so much love to your songs.
10:27I promise you that
10:29all my songs

10:33to all your requirements
10:35and you will like them a lot.
10:37I will keep doing good work.

10:41surety.
10:43You just keep doing your duty.
10:45Thank you so much for giving me so much love.
10:47See you later.
10:49You have written a song
10:51called Love.
10:53Do you have
10:55any songs
10:57that you would like
10:59to play every year?
11:03My song
11:05has been released
11:07a week ago.
11:09I would like to say
11:11that you should play
11:13Tu Jaise Dariya
11:15the entire Valentine's week
11:17with the modernity of
11:19romance that is going on.
11:21Please listen to it
11:23and make a lot of reels
11:25on Valentine's week.
11:27Speaking of reels,
11:29nowadays every song has a reels.
11:31Yes.
11:33Since you are from an old school,
11:35how much time do you need to change?
11:39Changing with time
11:41is a rule.
11:43Whatever is going on is good.
11:45Who are we to interfere in this world?
11:47If you want to sing a line,
11:49go ahead.
12:17Thank you so much.
