When asked if he endorses bold lyrics finding their way into mainstream films, Shergill says, "I like things to be poetic. Profane or pious I don't care. Just don't give me prosaic."
Shergill's debut album "Rabbi" in 2004 was a hit while its song "Bulla ki Jaana Main Kaun" was a chartbuster. He then composed music for "Delhi Heights". His song "Challa" from film "Jab Tak Hai Jaan" was a smashing hit.
To a poser on the trend of actors doing playback in films, Shergill said among this singer-actor pack, Kishore Kumar, Geeta Dutt are his favourites.
"Audience can expect me to play out my songs with as much integrity and commitment as I possibly can."
"One can only be as comfortable as the audience permits you to be. Audience is the boss. I am sure they will be enthralled," he said.
