Singer Armaan Malik attended international conference on commerce and management organized by University of Mumbai where he was honored for his contribution in the field of music on Thursday in Mumbai. During media interaction, Armaan said he never saw anyone as his competition in fact, he looks up to them as his inspiration.
When asked Amraan how he deals with increasing competition in the industry, he said, “Since I am very young, I feel I have the advantage to change the way I sing or change the way I perceive things. Actually, I have noticed a change from the time I have made my debut till now, that at every stage, every month, my voice changing and somewhere I feel that you should improve yourself by not copying anyone and work on craft continuously to achieve your goals. I never saw anyone as my competition; I look up to them as my inspiration”
Armaan Malik shared his feeling when he was felicitated by University of Mumbai, he said, “I am feeling really happy that at this age, I have received this honor. I am part of Mumbai University as its student. I am pursuing distance education from Mumbai University. I haven’t completed my graduation yet because I started to work early and I had to focus on my work but I have promised my mother that I will finish my graduation very soon. I want to thank all the teachers, students, my fans, friends and parents because if they wouldn’t have supported me then I don’t think I would be able to receive this honor”
Talking about achieving dreams in a career, Armaan said, “Everyone’s ambition is different. My ambition was such that I had to take a decision of following my career and letting my studies take a backseat but that doesn’t mean everyone has to do that in their life. It is very important for a person to know his priorities and I want to say that if you really believe in something and you want to achieve success in that then you should just go it”
When asked Armaan whether he would like to enter in the field of acting, he said, “That I don’t right now. I think my journey is going really well as a singer as far as acting concerned, if I feel like doing it, then I will definitely do that in future”
Armaan Malik is going to perform in Dubai on Republic day with Musical maestro A. R. Rahman, talking about it, he said, “I am performing in Dubai with A.R. Rahman sir for the very first time. We will be performing on India’s Republic day and it’s a very special moment for a singer to be able to come at that stage performing with Rahman sir. I think we will be singing ‘Jai Ho’ song (Slumdog Millionaire) because it’s his one of the popular song for which he received Grammy and Academy award so I am really looking forward to perform with him”
When asked Armaan whether he watch Padman or Padmaavat which is releasing on 25th January, he said, “I would like to watch both because Padman deals with important issue of women sanitary pads and I would also like to see Padmaavat because I am Deepika Padukone fan”
When asked Armman how digitization has been instrumental in his career, to that, he said, “I feel that world is definitely going into digital space and with availability of social media like twitter, facebook and instagram. It definitely helped people like me and other people because now newcomers has been more popular than the seniors in industry just because their presence on social media. Digital life has become real life but obviously somewhere we have to strike a balance between doing our daily job and being on social media but it has helped me to find fans from different parts of the world so it creates really nice network when you interact with them”
