Get to know... Aastha Gill

Currently, I am

Working on new music. There’s more to my music than party tracks.

High point in life

When Badshah told me he believed I could be a big pop star. I didn’t have the guts to dream that big.

Low point in life

After my song DJ Wale Babu, I felt lost and clueless. It took me about three years to figure out what my next release should be.

On my playlist

Die With A Smile, by Bruno Mars; Love Ya, by Diljit Dosanjh; Bachke Bachke, by Karan Aujla; and my own release, Paapi.

One thing I would never buy

Flowers for myself. I’d rather have someone gift them to me.

Today I’m craving

Home-cooked food.

Last thing I ordered online

Marvis toothpaste. I saw a Victoria’s Secret model use it, and it is really good.

App I check before going to bed

Call of Duty. I play a bit before I sleep.

Advice I’d give my 18-year-old self

Enjoy whatever you’re doing. There’s plenty of time later to worry about stress and responsibilities, so chill and live in the moment.

My favourite subject in school

Art. My art teacher believed I’d become a painter.

My secret skill

Cooking! I love to do it when I am alone at home.

A superpower I wish I had

Being invisible when I choose.

My favourite Sunday memory

Spending time with the babies of my best friends.

My plans for next Sunday

Chilling with family, cuddling my puppy Bella, and lying in bed doing nothing.

My most star-struck moment

Seeing Shah Rukh Khan for the first time at an Ambani wedding. When he walked into the room, I was speechless. I couldn’t take my eyes off him.

My favourite bad habit

Not saying a word until I brush my teeth. I communicate in sign language until I’m ready to talk.

If I could travel back or forward in time, I’d…

Skip the opportunity. I’ve learnt from the past and I’m excited about the future.

The best thing about fame

It’s not for everyone. But if you know how to handle it, you’ll rock it.

The worst thing about fame

It really is not for everybody. If you don’t know how to handle it, it can slip right through your fingers.
