June 21 celebrates many days together, one of them being the World Music Day. On this special occasion, we managed to get five powerhouse performers - Armaan Malik, Neeti Mohan, Nakash Aziz, Harshdeep Kaur and Prakriti Kakar for a fun interaction and a jam session!

The Bollywood singers spoke about their love for music and playback singing. When we asked them if one day is enough to celebrate music, Neeti Mohan said, "One lifetime isn't enough to celebrate music."

Armaan Malik agreed to Neeti's statement and added, "Yes she said it. I agree to her!"

Interestingly, when aam junta is upset or sad, they listen to music to pep up their mood. We wonder what do these singers do?

"Lot of people say that singing is the best way to fight anxiety and depression. It really works. I have tried it," asserts Prakriti.

The five singers along with others have collaborated on a special web series by T-Series called Mixtape which shall recreate old songs with a fresh new twist. Ask them how was the experience of working on Mixtape and pat comes the reply from Neeti, "There are many songs sung by others which we love to sing. Dua is one such song. It is beautiful. And I speak for everyone here. We may not be the original voice, but we all sing it at home. That is Mixtape for me."

Quiz them if they still think playback singing is a faceless job and Prakriti states, "As singers, you lend your voice to a face. But now people are curious to know who is the voice behind the mic. So it is slowly trending."

Armaan concludes by saying, "Composers don't get enough credit. They compose with all heart, but somewhere the creator of the song doesn't get the recognition and due. But by saying that, I am not demeaning the singers."

Watch the amazing singers jam for us followed by a fun banter and let us know what do you think of it!
