To a question that did music-based programmes help promote new talent, Nayyar said many talented persons have been launched because of these programmes. Talking about the popularity that pop music was gaining, he said that it was only because it was being appreciated that it was becoming so popular.

Nayyar retired from the music industry after giving hits like Kabhi aar kabhi paar lage teere nazar, aankhon se jo utri hai dil mein and aap yun hi agar humse milte rahe. These days he is practising homoeopathy.On the type of music he liked the best, Nayyar said he believed that whatever appealed to the soul was good. When asked whether one should join an academy to get formal training in music, he said only hard work paid in the field. And, he said, destiny also plays a major role in the matter.

When a student asked Nayyar to comment on the music getting cheap these days, he chuckled and said: "Someone's actions can be cheap but not music."

About his choice of songs, he said he loved romantic numbers as he was of romantic nature. In his message to the upcoming talent, Nayyar said: "One should be sincere in one's efforts and also have the intensity of desire."Earlier, Nayyar visited the music room of the school and had a brief chat with the students.
