The classical genre has been a part of Bollywood and it will stay. Where is the classical genre heading to in the music industry? These young directors are also open to experiment with different genres rather than sticking to the hit formula in compositions.

Also, we have many young directors like Raghav Sachar and Ram Sampath composing wonderful compositions and the whole clan concept where the director signs with the same music composer for a series of films, has ceased to exist.

Earlier, there used to be only one or two singers ruling the scene but now many newcomers from the TV reality shows are also getting equal opportunities.

There is a lot of professionalism now and many new talents have emerged. How has the industry changed in the last one decade? All the composers are capable of creativity and given freedom to compose what they wish, they can come up with some beautiful original compositions.

I guess they are caught in a dilemma of original compositions and composing 'what sells' as per the movie makers or producers. I hope the way our industry is growing, this trend will not continue though. It doesn't directly affect us singers because we sing as per the music director's requirements and not often do we know about the origins of the music. More and more directors are lifting tunes from existing compositions. But knowing the female cast helps, like for my song in Man Gaye Mughal-e- Azam to be featured on Mallika Sherawat, I gave it a sensual tone to suit Mallika. However, we have to sing in accordance with the theme of the song, depending on whether it is a sensual number, item number or a romantic one. Not many times do we need to modulate our voice according to the female cast because the casting is not known while recording the song. I would like to write as well as compose the album on my own.Дo you need to modulate you voice to suit the on screen actor's voices? It won't be a typical pop album but will be a blend of classical and Sufi genres. But now some newer albums by artists have done well and I might think of coming up with my own soon. In the past few years, the album market has experienced a very slow growth with Bollywood numbers ruling the charts. I did release an album in the past but it was lost amid the clutter of remixes. Why don't you believe in cutting your own pop album? I am a trained classical singer but the world of jingles introduced me to a lot of western music and inculcated an interest to explore different genres like jazz etc.

Many new talents get stunned with the competition in mainstream music, but coming from a background of jingles, it is easier to adapt. So it was a good start for me to start from jingles and then go on to playback singing.Дo you think coming from a background of jingles helped you as a singer?ДЄs I said earlier said, the music industry has a different mindset when it comes to newcomers but jingles are a great platform for newcomers. After jingles, I sang for a couple for teleserials and then shifted to playback singing for Bollywood. In the meantime with the media boom, many serials came up. People like Leslie Lewis and Louis Banks help you open up your hidden singing ability. If I look back now, I think doing jingles was a wonderful foundation for my career as that field absorbs new talent easily. It all started about 10-12 years back when I started doing jingles for advertisements.

You kickstarted you career with jingles and went on sing for TV serial titles? Tell us something about that? But now the mindset has slightly changed and even I have got a few opportunities to experiment with different styles recently.

Our music industry seems to have a typical mindset where a particular style is allotted to a particular singer - if it's a folk number it has to be Richa, melodious then it has to be Shreya Ghoshal, for romantic it has to be me, and so on. I believe I haven't yet got enough opportunities to experiment with my voice. It was fun working with different directors Vishal -Shekhar and Raghaav.Дo you think you got enough opportunities to experiment with your voice in different genres? Falak tak from Tashan is a mushy romantic number and Gup Chup from One Two Three was a sensual number. It was great fun to sing both the songs as each is very different from the other. How was it singing for One Two Three and Tashan? In a conversation with 's Anita Iyer, the singer shares her journey of over a decade and her cut on the current music scenario. Although her songs like Bol na halke halke from Jhoom Barabar Jhoom, Rock 'n' roll Soniye from KANK, Aaj ki raat from Don have been hits, not many know that Mahalakshmi Iyer is the voice behind these popular numbers. Recognition took time to knock at her doors but that doesn't bother her.
