Now here I am after three years. When I perform for any audience, I keep an open mind. Though I do not include any social message I try to touch on current affairs and issues pertaining to families and people across the country through my gigs."

The market is offering new opportunities to the otherwise neglected genre and people are ready for such things. We are expecting city audiences to attend and encourage the performances."
