Learn it from the basics, do not skip or jump.

Hi Shubham, though Music is one of the pure gift of God, it is always better to learn any form of Indian classical music before you try to enter into the Indian film industry as a musician or a singer , and now a days you need to be updated every second with all the genres.

I would say it is not important because most of the Bollywood songs aren't based on Indian classical music, they are mostly influenced from Western music.
