India happen to me by chance. It’s in my destiny. As soon as I landed here, it only took me 4 months to know exactly why I was here and what had destined to do here.
As ‘Dilbar’ has become a huge hit internationally, including Middle East, we have taken the song and re-composed it, written Arabic and Moroccan lyrics, and we recorded, with me singing with Fnaire.
I was travelling a lot, during the release of ‘Dilbar,’ to various countries, and the song would be played at random places like lounges, coffee shops, streets, and I realised the song had reached levels that was beyond India.
I never felt typecast because when I was in television, I was also, simultaneously, in films. I was seen across platforms, so that’s why I have not been put in a category.
I don’t watch cricket very much, but of course I enjoy whenever I see the sport, especially live, because of the energy in the stadium with the fans going crazy.
I had a vision of bringing two cultures together, and I have said this in the past: my goal is to bring Morocco and India together through music and art.
