During a conversation with Hindustan Times, the Dilbar singer also spoke about being compared to the international singer. She said, “It feels great to be compared to Colombian singer, Shakira. After Second Hand Jawani, like we say, Gaadi Chal Padi Aur High-Speed Main Chali Jaa Rahi Hai, I don’t want to stop at all.”
When she was asked whether she considers her elder sister Sonu, also a singer, to be her competitor, Neha Kakkar said, “There is no competition at all, as Sonu didi and I sound completely different.”
The ‘Garmi’ singer then also shared her thoughts on authorities objecting to the lyrics of some recent Bollywood songs. Neha said, “We do discuss with our lyricists when we are recording. But we cannot stop making or singing such songs just because certain sections of society don’t like it. I see no point in creating a ruckus about it.”
