The singer, who came into the limelight after Phir Mohabbat, says that he tends to forget songs after he’s done recording them. “But that didn’t happen with Tum Hi Ho. It was stuck in my head. I knew it was a nice melody and it would touch people’s hearts, but didn’t think it would become such a hit,” he told CS. In a light-hearted conversation, he talks about his singing style, being level-headed and how he left Mumbai only to come back prepared to take on the competition:

Preparation mode
There was time when nothing was happening for me in the music scene. This was post Fame Gurukul. That was a time when music directors were singing and it was a bad time even for big singers. There were better and experienced singers. I packed my bags and called Shankar Mahadevan to give me one work, so that I have enough money to buy my tickets and go home. He called me to sing a song for the album High School Musical. I was not frustrated or broken-hearted. I just wanted to give that phase some time and come back and try again.u00a0
