She was just 16 when Sanjay Leela Bhansali signed her for Devdas.

Success raga: I don't take life in terms of success. Of course, goals motivate me. But I breath, eat and sleep music. Bhansali saw me on television and had heard all my songs before signing me for his film. I feel hardwork and talent is what leads to success.

The road to music: My father is a scientist. I started my performance in a club's annual function. My maternal grand-mother is a classical singer and my mother has a wonderful sense of music. But it's my father who initiated me into music. However, coming from an academic background, there was always peer pressure to go for technical courses.

Bairi piya to Jadoo hai nasha hai: I started play-back singing with Devdas as the songs had a classical feel to it. Jism helped to broaden my canvas. And recently Parineeta gave me a great chance as a singer.

Studio blues: I consider studios as my home and one doesn't feel nervous at home. But when there's too much expectation from a song, I do feel the pressure.

Memorable moments: It was wonderful to perform at the Commonwealth Games in Melbourne recently. Being with so many athletes from different countries was simply amazing. And of course winning the National Award was also a moment of pride.

I would have loved: To sing with Kishore Kumar.

I get excited by: People doing extra-ordinary things. So my wish list is forever getting longer: To go on an Antarctica expedition, mountain climbing, bungee jumping and... Good food also excites me and I share this passion with my father.
