He added, “Recently, someone tried to do something similar. I’ve blocked the minister and the singer. No matter how good a singer they are, I have no interest in working with them.” Vishal further encouraged young artists to trust their skills and stay patient instead of relying on shortcuts. “Believe in your talent, be prepared to work hard, and be patient. If you’re truly good, your time will come. Recommendations are outdated and boring. More importantly, they show that you don’t believe in your own talent,” he wrote.
