The obliteration of the dominance of '90s pop music took with it some of the most revered artistes of the era, leaving only a select few who stood the test of time and held their ground in the industry. Inarguably one among this lot, Neeti Mohan credits her ability to seek opportunities as a reason behind her success.

"You have to create opportunities for yourself. No one is sitting there waiting to hand it over to you. You have to be so good that people want to work with you. And that can be done by offering something new with your voice [modulation]," she says, adding that even the tremendous growth of music reality shows in current times can be attributed to this trend. "Today, artistes display [their individuality] when performing on stage. This is unlike how things were in the past when contestants would ape the singer who was dominating that era."
