Bullah Ki Jaana hitmaker Rabbi Shergill was in the city recently, performing without a charge for a charity event organised by the Genesis Foundation. As he performed the 2005 chart-topper, we wondered why he doesn't release music often, especially when it's believed that the heyday for independent music is back. But Shergill has a different opinion.

"I think it's a good time to be an indie artiste if you are starting out. It's not the same for someone who has been in the field for over a decade. It's a good time to be a rookie, not a veteran," says the singer, as he reminisces about the pop music in the '90s, when a song's success was not limited to the number of views and hits it garnered online.
