Sonu Nigam, the Golden boy of Indipop and
one of
the top singers of India has captured the hearts of millions with his
melodious voice, charming
looks and great sense of humour. His boyish appearance coupled with the boy-next-door appeal are what makes Sonu Nigam
different from the others of the celebrity posse. Sonu made his debut public performance when he was
only three years old.
The first song that he recorded was
for the film 'Aaja Meri Jaan'. It
was Gulshan Kumar, who noticed the hidden talent in Sonu Nigam and the first
song that catapulted him to fame was 'Achha sila diya tune mere pyaar ka' from
the film 'Bewafa Sanam'. Luckily he got to host a grand musical show, 'Sa Re
Ga Ma' for the satellite channel, Zee TV which made him an icon in the small screen. He
anchored the show for five years but gave it up to seriously pursue his film
career. He is among the few singers who have made it
big both in film music as well as in the Indipop front. "Deewana", "Jaan",
"Yaad" etc are some of his hit albums. He got the Zee Cine award for
the song 'Sandesay Aate Hain'. He split with his wife Madhurima. He
has also tried his hands in modeling and acting. It is his
personal effort, hard work and sincerity that got him to where he is, at present.
