However, the singer also feels that people are simply taking advantage of the situation to gain popularity in order to hide their shortcomings. He said that he agrees it is a smooth ride for some people and for others it may not be the same. However, Kumar Sanu also believes that it is a person’s hard work and perseverance that could take him places.
