Pehle kuch underrated label tha. Usce pehle kuch aur tha. It keeps shifting. Main vo sab nahi samajhti hun (There’s a label, I don’t even know what it is. If there is one, well, people will always have something to say. If not this label, then something else, and then something else again. The other day it was something different. Earlier, I was labeled ‘underrated’. Before that, it was something else. It keeps shifting. I don’t really understand all that).”
