Singer Alok Singh, who is enjoying the success of his latest song, Rang Ishq Da, feels there are different sides of us that we present with different sets of people. He said, “We naturally adapt to different environments and relationships, showing different aspects of ourselves depending on who we’re with. It’s not about being fake, but about being versatile and responsive to the dynamics around us.” In fact, he pointed out that there is a side of us that we let out when there is no one watching us. He said, “There’s a private side of me that comes out when I’m alone, where I can be completely vulnerable or creatively free without any external expectations or judgments.”
Alok calls himself a passionate, soulful, expressive, introspective, and evolving person, however, he stressed that it’s not easy to describe what kind of person he is.“Understanding oneself is an ongoing journey, full of surprises and self-discoveries. It takes time to peel back the layers and truly grasp who I am beneath the surface,” he said. Alok also pointed out that, as humans, we all seek validation, and it is very natural. “It can affirm our efforts and boost our confidence. But relying too much on external validation can be limiting. I’ve learned to balance it by trusting my own instincts and inner compass, which gives me a deeper sense of fulfillment and authenticity,” he said.
He also stressed that growth happens outside of comfort zones, adding, “Staying comfortable might feel safe, but it doesn’t push us to evolve or achieve new heights. It’s important to challenge ourselves and embrace discomfort as a catalyst for personal and professional growth.” Sharing a personal experience where moving out of his comfort zone helped him, he said, “Moving out of my comfort zone, especially in my music career, has been transformative. There was a time when I hesitated to experiment with new sounds and styles, fearing how they might be received. But when I took the leap and explored unfamiliar territories, I discovered new creative depths and connected with audiences in ways I hadn’t imagined. It taught me resilience, expanded my artistic horizons, and ultimately helped me evolve both as a person and as an artist.”
