“Before the heart attack, I used to do a lot of work - what's needed an...” — Shankar Mahadevan Quote

Before the heart attack, I used to do a lot of work - what's needed and what's not needed. I used to sing songs that leave an impact and those that didn't. I could never say 'No.' Now, I have learnt to say it, though, and believe me, it has not been easy to do so.

I have always been fascinated by Krishna, the Indian deity.

There is always a musical exchange happening between me and my sons.

I'm a proud mainstream musician, but having said that, I do firmly believe there's more to musical talent in India than just Bollywood.

'My Country, My Music' is about bringing music in languages like Tamil, Telegu, Kannada, Malyalam, and Marathi together. It's about bringing musical genres together, different scenarios in which music is displayed in our country in one show.

I have come a long way and learnt a lot. I read this quote about a year ago: 'Happiness must not be pursued; it must ensue.' It's made me realise that just being married again or something like that won't make me happy; the happiness ensues from how we live our lives.

I have learnt a lot about theatre, and I would like to know the same about film.

I found myself doing all these action-adventure movies, and it's been a fantastic experience, and I've learnt a lot.

We've all had relationships; I've had them in my past, and I don't look back on them and think, 'Ah, that was a mistake.' I take what I learnt and move onto the next one.
