We feel very proud that we have done something in life.”

The veteran singer also acknowledged the new-age talent, noting that many young artists today are creating good music, even if in smaller quantities. “All singers are very talented. There is no doubt about it. The era that we have seen of our music is not like that. But still, some of them are making good music. Less quantity, but it's good.”
