but I'm from of anybody consulate of family all strict bed and singing is like a complete normal a good guns from a checkup Gillard ya got any got the old made a couple that tell you have to see my music videos all my god is that typical let's have her so all it was such a such a challenge because I have decided I want to be
a singer I thought I had singing talent and I had a lot of these ideas in my head which I talked made for a good eight single it meant you had to have a great singing skills and that's it people will come and say Gumby give you book me to make you famous and I thought that's how it's going to be with my life on at
my time if you have to become a famous singer because the thing is you all missing out if you're a single then you are a single but we all want to be famous or we can all be dissing those at home and it's still missing are going to be famous right the only stars we won't be perfect and he's with us stick out autographs so not
only is I'm doing it in my game all you either go and become a playback singer all you become this big shopbop stock okay so both of them required you to go to Bombay and I was in jeopardy from a very very conservative family do you see what I'm leading this is what we left out of innings and this is Laura mom voted for so going
to bomb been becoming a singles like no the so I did one big long job that my dad I never took a mission to go to Bombay I don't limit go to visit I nicely went to visit I took up a job in Bombay and then said Hey that %HESITATION you know art I don't think I'm coming back but it was such a demand team because
if I'd asked him it's very possible like would've been locked up in the house it's very possible like a garden you know mattered off to some other Kapudan moved from my home really do another holy and it got a bit you know nonna batted an eyelid because that's the kind of family I'm from so instead of creating a scene at Holman fighting in this and that
I just said I'm going to visit I've visited and I got a job and that's it that's it the man thing that you have to do when you want to believe in his dependence is you have to make sure you have your own money okay because a billion doesn't log that you say are not I don't like your views but I like your money so you
have to have your own money at it basics bayside beaten all connected money all the spy lied when thousands will and I bet you attended college so how about fifteen thousand bees and that's a total pig that's enough so I shifted to Bombay and I thought now I'm gonna send my demo to everybody not to be a stock no this thing happen all football he'll was
doing deals is how long that's a really long time I did not have the numbers of music that it does Hollywood I'm going and people you had a great thing that if you don't even have numbers of people in another city it was not my city plus I'd go barefoot my living my lodging boarding eating but that won't be sending out water is done in life
in a new if you want to be singers and actors please goal that money and stock booking don't get into this chap off I'm going to be a struggling single out a struggling actor because everything requires money and bombers of anybody ex please okay so anyway if I had the money and I had started working but there was still a time that I had read in
a good money and I found this little bullseye shop that said I heard that saluted boom how much I love those suffered an Bucks so might be Noah said gate entropies was all that I had acquired for dinner somebody happy because of state aboard hostile and the sanity that I was making all us pain exactly the same amount for the host of the now staying in
Seoul money was tight anyway and I was not going to big money from my dad because you know is that the US on Monday Seoul oh that's what I was stuck anyway I started working I got a better job study getting more money and so that book at all back part of it that I was not struggling like other people then I did one more thing
I started doing live shows so by the end of third by the end of the last two three years I was actually making double the money that most jugglers do I had a Saturday coming and I had money over the beacon from gigs so each one of you please understand if you're going to Bombay to become anything that you want to be make sure that you
have a job do not fall for those stories of humble platform destroyed hit or you cannot put a plaque from bell B. B. slowdown disabilities Kuwaiti ports or even you become successful people start asking those stories otherwise no one is interested in a story of a poor person sleeping some that are struggling to be somebody so be very careful when you go out there especially ghosts
made shot up your financially secure okay a son on the buildings that I needed to become a successful blade axing ought to get a big music video one not happening all I had met a lot of music that it does I met the entire spectrum from the Judy could he be but the Platonists to the very nice guys on and you have it is not enough
but not enough to be be people and they're not the people only in boyhood that the people in the void okay you're gonna run into them and do it you just have to know how to avoid them you run into them please be form and say it not interested VIIC because the world is full of very nice people as well I met some really nice people
in Bollywood assignment has on it and he's such a nice human being I don't know I'm from Rajasthan is seeing what I set foot on and he said misunderstand me do you'll have enough money on you I said yeah I hope is to say he said I see so many singles will come from small towns they don't have money to stay in better how money to
eat and I feel really bad so it was realized that I had started meeting the nicest people in Bollywood as well but nothing was happening size it okay if believe that is not happening let me just go and do my own thing let me go to music company and get my big video and be this big star like a non in all the big guys not
I tried to do that and music on his own good time of day live okay only one famous people the hot I want to become famous that no one makes me the most right so this was a big catch twenty two situation so what I did was since I was working I had experience in marketing I joined the music company double the medical it has a
name out of the victim and her son so as I did working in the music company I understood the business and that's when I delays that pop singles and Bob Boone had died all people are not buying pop songs no there was no money being made by so holiday brought what money on me if not making any money so what did now I again come back
to the point number one money everything needs money investment so I said okay if so there's only one thing left to do I'm gonna make my own music that do I'm gonna do my own thing so all the money that I'd collected in the word I put in of recording a song recording an album and making a music video the music video came out and do
I said okay now it has a thumb on TV and that's another lays off of the music videos been short on my money has been put in it that does %HESITATION TV channels don't bet on the Sony music cited not realize that but I would put them as about you Punjabi music you play dominoes at my head it doesn't so all the money that I had
had been put in the music video and it turned out that it was not good enough so often the short I had to change the song and made him the I mean it was like that about thing to do but I point I think what they do psychotic endo Hindi bought minute lucky and it came out finally on DVD okay now you know what my competition
laws you cannot imagine what I was competing with once my promo game on TV S. run out I boom Mike Dunleavy okay I mean my song would come and offer that would be crazy chaotic etcetera I said you know walked just commit suicide right now because that is your competition once you are dead as a not a single then it's not like but met them they
actors school but metal tradition of some nobody cares you have to be that big a delays no one cares so each time as well that I would come and my sister would almost a heart attack and jubilee old bottle board I will that please again it doesn't come but the problem was segment post such that it would be my promo and then they would be do
promos amazement at I. so okay so I don't know all along exactly what a nervous breakdown is but off the my video dailies I was just sitting at home and crying and crying and crying and it was a part that's it I'm not getting playback and my music video has flopped deadbeat and go yeah I suggests school home I had a I have already supportive husband
was a boon but if we put more money the Buddhist just just hang in there and you know I a fost music would be oil falsities people say that it's like you've lost died it's not a foster child itself lost love if any of you have been in love and had a big up or go argue team that you just gonna die and that's why I
thought that beats or what my life is Obama music produce flop moment guests but you learn to love again and you learn to live so I started working again as a because I left my job by then it was a part of a big singing stuff so I said get back to look go get get busy and keep doing stuff so I can do now to
make my music videos but now I know that I'm not going to be this big stock not just yet but keep trying keep that I started doing publicity for movie stars all Vic's give me access to the people in the industry because here I still wanna be a famous singer uneven of five people know me here today hopefully everyone would normally does so I still wanted
to be in the movie you somehow and what happened was that my song side of my friends in the industry started playing my songs on that you don't like audit you instead so a couple of people got in touch with me and I started to get a little bit of smoke so I did this big BBC's got MTV rush that I did this big movie which
meant the bonds of those on Iraq the ship being weak guard monsoons would note all monsoons without but not in lots of accolades all over the board did not to use in India so my big fact playback this did not released all MTV's I shocked me and then and it did my song out so the big song that I've sung in and do that did not
get seen by anyone but nothing happened before that I was singing in something and blue frog and those those even manage a dead who said I'll do what I was saying and she said buy you anything though not so I said Yabba wordless scenes so to using whatever you want okay then when you put the phone down just the opening and then no not so I
said yes and that understood that what I was singing was not as important look up as what I was reading so now do you see why I am dressed like this and not in jeans so this is a little lesson I learned but did not fully anyway coming back to set fees so I said appear I himself he is because of the fact that he's a
bad whatever but I haven't gone sort but those betting that no not I talked let me just speak a centipede would you and see what happens flicked site because everybody over there just just singing will get nothing ends and I put it out on Facebook and it got forty thousand views and all that bull forty thousand is I mean what one Godzilla forty thousand users but
a big night size of not bad that is something happening you know for me now but then all that says if we go by the me but we but the not the name of the song okay because of a couple of music that it doesn't it isn't visit the despite why you was done that song but look at us like that if you know the song
