Indo-Canadian singer Jonita Gandhi says she is aware that everything in life comes with an expiry date but she believes in living in the moment than being worried about the future.
The singer started her career as a YouTube artist and then made her debut in playback singing with Shah Rukh Khan-starrer "Chennai Express". Her breakthrough came when she worked with music maestro AR Rahman on two songs for "Highway".
"Everything has an expiry date, but I'm focussing on the now. Times change and it's impossible to predict what the music industry will be like, 20 or 30 years from now. I'm focused on all of the things that I want to do and projects that come my way and I want to make the best of the present. That in itself I think will help safeguard my future," Jonita told PTI.
The singer has tracks like "Chogada Unplugged" from ("Loveyatri"), "The Breakup Song" from ("Ae Dil Hai Mushkil"), 'Sau Tarah Ke' ("Dishoom") and "Gilehriyaan" ("Dangal"), among others, to her credit.
"I am trying to be versatile and want to fit in any situation, any song and sing for any actor."
"From start to finish, it's your own song. You're not bound by any factors like fitting the mold of a particular character, or specific instructions from a music director, which can happen from time to time. With an independent single, there's less of a boundary."
