People, who wanted to work with me, were obviously disturbed by my unavailability. Others were rejoicing as they were getting more work. I don't have to worry about how people reacted. I need to worry about myself and my contribution to the industry.

Honestly, when people hear too much of you, they stop appreciating your work. On the other hand, when they get less of you, they start missing you. For example, I just hummed a part in Guzarish from Ghajini. I haven't sung the song. But the kind of reviews I got just for my humming is amazing. And this is because they have not been hearing enough of me. If they had heard me through the songs of Ghajini, they wouldn't have spoken about my humming.

Why was Hum Hai Rahi Pyar Ke from Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi kept a secret?

I don't know. Aditya (Chopra, director) told me that this is the first time he was going to delay my song. He felt this song is the only glamour quotient of the movie. His strategy was to give the audience a surprise.

If we promoted the song before the film's release, what new element would people get in theatres? I think his strategy worked. Since the time the film released, my song has been getting better reviews than the film.
