*Tell us a little bit about your observations of the approach to music of the various music directors and singers you've worked with? * India is one of the most brilliant countries in the world where there is a mixture of different cultures and religions. This gives Indian music composers and singers the versatility of doing their work with perfection and ease. All the composers and singers I have worked with are brilliant in their own way. They are very, very professional and they know what they are doing. Now the new generation has a good exposure to world music. So, they can create or render almost any kind of song. Apart from the legends, my favorite singers of new generation are Sonu Nigam, Abhijeet Bhattacharya, Udit Narayan, KK, Jaspinder Narula, Richa Sharma, Sunidhi Chauhan and Shreya Ghoshal. I have worked with Ilayaraja, Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, Aadesh Shrivastava, Vishal-Shekhar, Salim-Suleiman, Anu Malik, Himesh Reshammiya, Raju Singh, Anand Raaj Anand and Pritam. All are talented and brilliant in their own ways. *Are there any singers and music directors in particular you would like to work with? Is their any actor in particular you would like to sing for? * I would love to sing with Lata Ji and Asha Ji. I have already sung with contemporaries like Sonu Nigam, Sunidhi Chauhan, Richa Sharma, etc. I would have loved to sing with Nusrat Sahab, but am happy to have sung with Rahat Fateh Ali Khan in *Namastey London* (Main Jahan Rahoon) . I have worked with almost all the music directors in Bollywood as I mentioned, *but I am waiting for a call from Mr. A.R. Rahman. It will be the biggest break of my life and I am sure after "Maula Mere Le Le Meri Jaan" from Chak De! , it will be a milestone song for me. I think singing for Mr. Rahman is just like a pilgrimage. Means if one does not do it, his life as a singer is a waste. It’s like jiwe Panjabi wich kehnde san "Jinne Lahore nahi wekheya oh jammeya nai." * http://www.planetbollywood.com/displayArticle.php?id=s031709014319 -- regards, Vithur
