People don't think music to be a reliable source of income or career, which I will agree, in a way, because Bollywood is a very risky place to be in.

Singers are definitely getting their due in Bollywood. I feel that music composers, on the other hand, tend to lose out on the popularity, fame, and success that singers usually enjoy.

Bollywood actors are so set in what they want, and the way they want it. And why shouldn't they be? But it is not the same in Hollywood, because the love of the audience is not the same.

I don't know too much about Bollywood at all, but I've done quite a bit of dancing... and not much singing.

People talk about Bollywood being very kitsch, and just songs and dances, and over the top and colorful.

As an artist, I am for non-film music as well. I want that to shine as much as Bollywood.

Bollywood is getting bigger and better.

At the end of the day, the one commonality that both Hindi cinema and Hollywood share is that they are full of talented and inspirational people. Outside of this, there are many differences, from the scheduling and rehearsal to promotion and directing techniques.

Indian actors, because of the format of our stories, need to be good actors, and be able to perform emotional sequences, do a bit of comedy, dance and singing, action, because all of this forms just one film. In many ways I'd say there are greater demands on Indian actors than there are on Hollywood.

I don't really know what the prerequisites are for Bollywood, but I do believe I can be successful in anything I choose to do.
