SONU NIGAM: MY FAMILY HELPS ME KEEP DOWN TO EARTH.
The singer spends his free time doing bodybuilding and completing his book collection. For him, weekends do not exist.
How do you spend your weekends?
For me, weekends do not exist. I work.
What are your favourite leisure activities?
When I have free time, I like playing table tennis and badminton, surfing the web and going for walks. But for the time being, I only have time to do body building and to complete my collection of books, which includes books on history and philosophy as well as cartoons.
Which books are you reading for the time being?
I am reading a book in Sanskrit, called "Charakyan"
What is the last movie you've seen?
I've seen "Me, myself and Irene". I was bored to death. I left before the end of the movie.
The last album you've heard?
The songs of the film "Bandish"
Do you like to dance?
Only when I am on the podium for my shows.
Which type of dance do you prefer?
I don't have a favourite dance. I learn my steps for my shows and that's all.
Do you practise any sport?
Badminton - And I do not practise it as a sport that one will do to be in good form. I just like this sport more than other - That's all.
How much time do you devote to your family life?
As much as possible. I work a lot, but I try to devote some time to my family. It helps me keep down to earth.
What is your favourite TV show?
I like "Kaun Banega Karodpati" (Who wants to be a Millionaire?) as it is full of twists and turns. It's a very entertaining show.
Do you cook?
Not anymore. At the risk of repeating myself, I do not have enough time with my work.
What are your favourite meals?
Butter chicken. I love anything that's fried and anything that's spicy. But I cannot allow myself to consume a lot of them lately as I am on a diet. So, I go for more balanced diets. I also like
Thai and Japanese cuisine.
Your best and worse moments?
My best moment was when I was at school and used to spend a good time with my friends. But we got separated at secondary school, and that's the worse souvenir I have.
