Sonu Nigam - son of Agam kumar. Nigam came to bombay to become playback singer. After series of struggle sonu's first break came with Gulshan Kumar's Bewafa Sanam. His talent started getting noticed, but the real story of him started with Sa Re Ga Ma. Gajendra Singh, producer of Antakshri was so impressed with this young playback singer that he wanted him to host Antakshri but sonu suggested a new show as he did not wanted to get the
credit of antakshri's success.
The courteous and respectful image which he portrays in sa re ga ma is no farce,that is how he is off screen.He is a family man . The moment he tasted fame he brought his family to bombay.Sonu shuns discos and bars. He dislike people of his age speaking rudely to elders and belives that girls should not get into relationships before marriage.In his words "No I think women are better human being then men, its just that in such relationships girls get the worst deal while boys get away with murder, all i am saying is girls should be more careful....
when you meet him you will find that he is just a guy next door who has its own views & values. When he bends to touch the feet of music legends in sa re ga ma he floors entire generation of parents who wish they had a son or son in law as dutiful as sonu & their daughters agrees. They are all little bit in love with his clean-cut,boyish,charming looks. Today, Sonu has carved a niche for himself in the music industry. He is one of the busiest playback singer. His pop albums sell millions of copies.
Most composers likes him for his efficieny and rofessionalism.He is not known to be a person who enjoys socialising with film folks rather he would love to spent time with his family or doing "riyaaz" for Music.
What strikes you is this young man's emphatic opinions and clear-cut priorities. His work is important but not at the expense of his dignity & values which are very dear to him. He lives life by his own rules like a true Leo....
