I was blown away when I heard the concert tickets were completely sold out. This was my first time performing in Dhaka, and I am completely blown away by the response from the audience.
The anticipation and support from my Bangladeshi fans have been overwhelming. I always believed there was a special connection waiting to happen here, and seeing tonight's sold-out show confirms that.

Can you share any behind-the-scenes stories from the concert?
This is the first time I will sing a new song in front of such a big crowd, so I have been preparing for it for a long time. The song, "Antariksh", is a very tricky song. Hopefully, the audience will love it.
Out of your setlist, is there any particular song that has a special place in your own heart?
Absolutely! "Baarishein" holds a special place in my heart, not only because it brought me recognition, but also because it has touched the lives of so many people.

What message do you have for your fans in Bangladesh?
To my Bangladeshi fans, I want to express my deepest gratitude for the warm hospitality and overwhelming love you have shown me in such a short time. I've been here for only a few hours, and already the outpouring of love is beyond anything I could have imagined. Hopefully, I will keep coming back here, again and again, in the future.
