Everytime I put a dance video out on social media, my fans love it, and the reaction I get online is mind blowing.

I welcome people into my life. If they are genuine, they will stay, and if not, they might just leave. Hypothetically speaking, that's their loss. I keep it moving.
I really wanted to take 'Dilbar' to Africa and the Middle East in Arabic because it was also a perfect way to launch myself.
'Kamariya' is a wonderfully composed song. The concept for the video is so fresh, and it's unlike anything I have done before.
I've always said Moroccan artistes are extremely talented, and the world needs to take notice.
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.
Delhi is always buzzing, buzzing, buzzing. There's always something to do.
I don't care about who is close to whom and who chills with whom when it suits them. I don't have time for all that.
I've got my head down, working hard, while others are chasing other frivolous things.
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.
Music and dance is universal, and I want to break borders and represent.
I'm always very proud of Moroccan artistes doing well and achieving international recognition.
I have danced, sung, been a part of a reality show, and the outcome is that I am a part of 'Batla House' and 'Bharat,' which is a milestone.
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.
For me, my work, family, and fans are the most important; rest is just there.
It is an exciting moment in my career to be a part of a huge project like 'Bharat.'
When I was told that the girl I play in the song 'Kamariya' will be from Bhopal and very rural but with spunk, I was up for the challenge and felt really ecstatic that I was donning an entirely new look.
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.
I definitely feel that 2018 is my year.
'Dilbar' is very close to me. It was a turning point in my career.
