Tulsi Kumar

What I have inherited from my father is my passion for my work which is my music.

I like the cute, girl-next-door look but I can play around with being classy.

There is a lot of negativity, turmoil throughout the world.

2020 is getting worse every day. We have lost so many people altogether throughout the world.

Passing away of a legendary singer like SP Subrahmanyam is a huge loss. I have personally loved all his renditions. He is such a legendary figure.

With independent music sometimes you are able to bring yourself out and your persona out, 'Tanhaai' was that song for me.

It's always great to work with someone who shares the same ideologies as you do.

The Punjab industry has been very instrumental in bringing the pop music and pop scene back where we see a lot of artists from Punjab cutting singles and doing so tremendously well.

I come from a family where my father did things single-handedly and he built a music empire himself.

My dad used to hear me humming songs while watching television and discovered I have a nice sweet tone which should be further trained and toned.

Music was always around me as a child.

Music is definitely my first love and the person who made me realize that I am made for music is my father Shri Gulshan Kumarji.

I was lucky to work with some of the big names such as Anu Malik, Himesh Reshammiya, Sajid Wajid, Salim Sulaiman, Mithoon, Jeet Ganguli and Pritam. I have learnt a lot from all of them and have practically grown as an artist with every song that I have rendered.

Akshay is very hard working and disciplined. My dad's journey was also all about hard work and his love for music. I think all these things will come together. Akshay is perfect for Mogul.'

Papa had some amazing qualities. He was a very spiritual person. He was very passionate about his work. He was a completely self-made man. At the same time, his generosity and kindness were two aspects of him that really defined his personality.

I think every moment spent with my dad is extremely special and close to my heart.

Whenever I sing in a different language, I make sure I have a language expert sitting there with me to correct my diction and to understand what I am singing.

I was excited to sing for Raveena Tandon ma'am. I grew up watching her films.

Whenever I sing on a different scale, I sound very different. However, I have learned that I can experiment with my tone.

I think it is very important to constantly rework yourself and discover new things.

Music is something that always calms you down.

Good music acts a healer, it makes you positive.

I think music is a very subjective topic, maybe I can like something that the other person cannot.

My love for music was first seen by my father when as a child, I used to hum a lot of songs watching television and used to take part in singing competitions even at school.

Folk music takes us back to the roots of our culture.

I collect a lot of shoes - I have at least 70 pairs.

I am a big foodie so I enjoy everything including dim sums aand sushi, but pani puri is one thing that really makes my mouth water.

My mom bakes amazing cakes.

I am a pure vegetarian and my favourite dish is jacket potatoes.

As a child, I used to love black currant ice-cream because of its soothing lavender color.

When I'm lounging at home it has to be my trackpants and T-shirt. If I am going out, I prefer wearing a nice dress.

A lot of people wear sunglasses that are extremely big and bulky, whether or not it suits their face. That's something I hate.

Men mostly ignore taking care of their skin. I think a weekly scrub and a face pack for every man is a must to get rid of all the pollution, dirt and grime.

I don't follow any trends but I try and wear what suits me and my body type.

I always push myself to work harder and achieve more in life.

Looking at my career graph, I have gone at a very slow and a steady pace. I have sustained myself for all these years and got the love of my listeners.

I am happy the way my career shaped up.

When two songs are fused together, it feels as if it's a new song.

I was really happy to collaborate with Darshan yet again after 'Tere Naal' since our fans have requested this for a long time.

'Is Qadar' is a beautiful melody that will resonate with people.

There are a lot of talented Punjabi singers in Bollywood and we are also using a lot of Punjabi songs and reprise versions of these songs in our films and I have also sung quite a few of them.

I am a Punjabi, but I have been in Mumbai.

My relationship with my dad was exceptional, being the youngest in my family. I was his favorite.

The bond that a father and daughter share can't be expressed in words.

Mogul' will be a real inspiration to a lot of individuals. My mom had a series of meetings with the director to share certain things.

I think I am very proud that my father has inspired so many people through his work.

Since I have a petite frame, I have to tailor-make all my clothes so they are of the right fit and length.

I prefer being minimalistic with my look.

I was extremely close to my dad. I think all daughters are very, very close. But I'm the youngest in the family and I think I was my father's pet. So I was the closest to my dad.

Working on good music is what brings happiness to my heart and I cannot think of a better way to spend my birthday.
