Popular singer and Bigg Boss 14 finalist Rahul Vaidya has recently joined LinkedIn, marking his entry into the professional networking world. In an exclusive interview with Times Now, the singer humorously responded to a question about actor Varun Dhawan’s recent LinkedIn move, saying, “He copied me.”
Vaidya’s Motivation for Joining LinkedIn
Vaidya revealed that although he had joined LinkedIn some time ago, he did not make a big deal out of it. He described LinkedIn as a platform for professionals, executives, and institutions, where he hoped to spread his music and craft. “I want to spread my music to them,” Vaidya said, emphasizing his desire to connect with a different audience.
Interestingly, he mentioned that three of his friends from different companies had independently spoken to him about LinkedIn, which he took as a sign to join the platform and tap into new opportunities.
Vaidya’s Views on Work and Criticism
Speaking about the platform’s potential for work opportunities, Vaidya expressed hope that it would open doors for more corporate gigs, which make up a significant part of his income. “Most of our money comes from there, but there’s always scope to increase it,” he noted.
The singer also addressed potential criticism, explaining that he doesn’t take negative feedback seriously. He only values constructive comments and positive interactions.
Embracing Networking and Seeking Work
Despite his celebrity status, Vaidya emphasized the importance of connecting with professionals beyond the music industry. He shared, “In my professional standing, I like connecting with people who have acquired knowledge and getting to know things other than my music.”
Furthermore, Vaidya encouraged others not to shy away from asking for work, stating, “Never be shy to ask for work. Absolutely not.” He firmly believes that when opportunities are available, they can be found everywhere.
Controversy Over Performing at Weddings
Vaidya also responded to singer Abhijeet Bhattacharya’s comment about singers not performing at weddings. Disagreeing with Bhattacharya, Vaidya remarked, “If someone doesn’t want to sing, forward it to me I’ll do it. You can stay at home, I’ll go and sing.” He further defended the idea of performing at weddings, suggesting that there’s nothing wrong with accepting invitations to sing at such events, especially if the artist is respected and compensated fairly.
