The one song you have on repeat on your iPod these days: Accha Chalta Hun from Ae Dil Hai Mushkil

If you had to put together a ‘soundtrack’ that best describe your life which would those be and why?
All the songs form the film Anand like Zindagi Kaisi Hai Paheli, Kahin Door Jab Din Dhal Jaye, Maine Tere Liye Hi Saat Rang and Na Jiyaa Lage Na.

Is there a song you love to listen to when:
You’re happy and upbeat: Bavra Mann from Hazaron Khwaishein Aisi
Low: Ye Hausla Kaise Jhuke from Dor
Working out: Any fast paced song

How would you describe your taste in music?
It is music in general that drives me. There is not particular genre or type that I prefer to another.

Is there any music you used to love as a kid or a teenager that you’re now embarrassed by when you think back: The Jungle Book title song!

If you could have one band in the world/a musician perform a private concert for you, which one/who would it be?
I wish Michael Jackson could but he is no more. I would say Michael Buble and Coldplay for now.
