Q- Does it help you as an actor that you are also a singer? And what was the inspiration behind the song “Har Pal”?

Singers & actors are always very emotionally driven artist. ‘HAR PAL’ emotions are attached to both actor and singer.  Feeling what you are singing or acting really helps in the song or actor to be real. ‘HAR PAL’ is very intensive song showing pain when people go away relationship break up or your past. Music is very instrumentally your mood shifts, whether if it is pensive or rocking. I strongly believe that my ability to emote through my voice has a role to play on any ability to act.

Q- Can you tell us about the team that put the song together?

The song has been written by Prashant Thapa who’s a lyricist & a talented singer and dancer.
