People bore me. Film people particularly bore me. I prefer talking to my trees.
I am determined to get out of this futile rat race and live as I've always wanted to. In my native Khandwa, the land of my forefathers.
I am an actor who sings off screen for another actor. That is what playback singing is all about.
I only wanted to sing. Never to act. But somehow, thanks to peculiar circumstances, I was persuaded to act in the movies. I hated every moment of it and tried virtually every trick to get out of it.
Who am I to object to songs? It is my livelihood.
Directors know nothing. I never had the privilege of working with any good director. Except Satyen Bose and Bimal Roy, no one even knew the ABC of filmmaking.
I was the biggest draw after Dilip Kumar.
Directors were like schoolteachers. Do this. Do that. Don't do this. Don't do that. I dreaded it.
Playback singing is fun and good money. But it's no big art really; only the film and record people glorify it with all those gold and silver discs given to singers.
I'm mad, true. But only about one thing. Horror movies. I love spooks. They are a friendly fearsome lot. Very nice people, actually, if you get to know them. Not like these industry chaps out hereCollection: Movie
