I watched so many matches of Jarnail Singh, P.K. Banerjee, Chuni Goswami and Peter Thangaraj.

I've always been a football fanatic.

Lata Mangeshkar is an old friend. I knew her through my father Aparesh Lahiri who was a music director in Calcutta.

I have been a tabla player since the age of four.

The first film I gave music for was a Bengali film called 'Dadu.'

I am extremely lucky I have done so many songs with Lata Mangeshkar.

Abroad in Hollywood, I am called Bling Bling Bappi.

It never bothered me that people made fun of my passion for gold... I would never feel bad when people ridiculed me for my fascination with gold.

I don't wear any jewellery or gold at home.
