I hope to keep coming back to the city. I would like to consider Hyderabad as my city as well because it has given me so much love, respect and adulation My mom is Telugu, so I'm technically half Telugu. I really love the culture.
I have grown up on Andhra food. And now that I have sung so many songs in Telugu and I keep coming to Hyderabad and performing in the language, I feel a sense of pride in a way, because I feel like I am taking my mom's culture forward. It's also the culture I resonate with.
