Armaan Malik<br />

By Harshita Arora<br />

A rising music star, Armaan malik who is touted<br />

as the next big thing in the music industry has<br />

sung for over 100-200 commercials and about<br />

16 films such as W, Jai Ho, Bhootnath, Rakta<br />

Charitra, Chain Kulii Ki Main Kulii, Chillar<br />

Party, “Hero” to name a few. In conversation<br />

with the Main hun Hero tera Hitmaker:<br />

Hi,Armaan, this is Harshita Arora from DU<br />

Times.<br />

Q1. From being a Sa Re Ga Ma Lil Champs<br />

winner to being a GIMA award winner, you<br />

have come a long way. What do you have to<br />

say about this journey?<br />

I remember I was exactly ten when I participated<br />

in Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Lil Champs and now I<br />

am twenty. This is not where I see myself. I take<br />

this success as a boosting incentive. I think I am<br />

just one step ahead and have miles to go.<br />

When You<br />

Q2. You come from a family that belongs to<br />

musical background, so music to you happened<br />

because of nature or nurture?<br />

I was six when I started learning Indian Classical<br />

Music. I realise this is sometbing I really<br />

love I see myself being this and nothing else. I<br />

sung Mere Buddy for Bhoothnath, for Tare Zameen<br />

Par and then Jai Ho happened, Hero, and<br />

Main Rahun yaa Na Rahun.<br />

Q3. “ Aaj ke time pr jab itna success milta<br />

hai,” one tends to get cocky. How do you<br />

manage yo keep yourself grounded?<br />

The credit goes to my mom. Me and my brothrr<br />

havr been instilled with the values that everything<br />

comes with hardwork and can go away in<br />

a sprint of second. One day you might be successful<br />

the other day you may not. We accepted<br />

that very early and started working on it from<br />

then. So, that has had a very major impact on<br />

me. Armaan Malik om stage is a very different<br />

person and Armaan Malik back home is a very<br />

different person.<br />

Q4. “Yeh toh hum sab jaantr hain ki aap<br />

apni films mein romantic songs gaate hain,<br />

is there someone jiske liye aap real life mein<br />

yeh gaane gaana chahenge?”<br />

(Smiles) abbhi toh nahi but jab hongi toh zarur<br />

but there are so many fans, Armanians jinke<br />

liye I’d like to dedicate those songs.<br />

Q5. “Aise kaunse music directors hain jinke<br />

saath aap kaam karna chahenge?”<br />

AR Rahman and Pritam.<br />

Want To Reach<br />

The Masses<br />

Q6. If you are supposed to dedicate a song<br />

to Deepika, what would be that song?<br />

It’d be Love You Till The End from my film<br />

Jai Ho. The lyrics are like because I love you, I<br />

love you till the end.<br />

Q7. Jaisa ke aap jaante hain Delhi University<br />

apne students ko musical endeavors karne<br />

ke bahut mauke deti hai. So what’s your<br />

message to budding musicians?<br />

In our time, internet has come up in a big way.<br />

If you feel, you have a flair for music. Just go<br />

on and present your talent to the world. You<br />

never know, what might happen. That’s how<br />

sensations like Justin Beiber happen. It is that<br />

simple but also needs hardwork. Youtube has<br />

also come up in a huge way.<br />

Q8. What are your future plans?<br />

I see myself becoming the top singer of bollywood<br />

as of now. I want to be a Global star, sing<br />

for international albums.<br />
