Sonu Nigam, who will be performing in Ahmedabad later this month as part of his ongoing multi-city tour, is looking forward to the experience. He says: “I have a very mysterious connection with Gujarat. No matter where I go in the world, Gujaratis flock to my shows in large numbers. Some of my closest friends are Gujarati. So, it feels great to come to Ahmedabad with a special show like Satrangi Re. It feels like coming home. I'm a big gourmet. Gujarati food is delicious and my favorite is the undiyu that Anand Pandit ji sends us every year. ”“AI gave me the opportunity to sing with Guru”Recently, she performed a live duet using AI with Mohamed Rafi at a concert, which attracted a lot of attention. Regarding this, Sonu says: “The idea came to me when I was thinking about the flow of the show for my US tour. I thought I would give myself this opportunity to sing with Guru. What better song for a duet than my song (Kal Ho Naa Ho)?”He added, “I cried when I sang the part that was supposed to be translated into Rafi Sahab's voice through AI. And can you believe, I instituted Rafi Sahab to make AI etiquette right? ”“I have been singing Gujarati songs for a long time.”Sonu, who has performed in many cities in Gujarat, said, “Over the past 30 years, I have traveled to Gujarat countless times. Gujaratis have literally watched me grow up. Sensei, I love it. Men and women physically hug me and hold me as if I were theirs. They feel like I'm theirs, and I respect that feeling. “I'm such a lucky person.”A versatile singer who has also sung for Gujarati films (Udi Re in 'Vikkida No Vargod' and Ishq Ran in 'Romance Complicated')., “I have been singing Gujarati songs for a long time now. I love my recent song 'Mythri' (the title song of 'Mythri'). I understand Gujarati quite well so I have no problem singing in Gujarati,” he added.“In every era, there are great artists, average artists, and mediocre artists.”When asked about the biggest change he's noticed in the music industry over the past few years, he says, “The music business changes, of course, but artistically it doesn't change much. In every era, there are great artists, average artists, and mediocre artists.”How can artists make their songs stand out in the age of reels and viral fame, where “play counts” are so important? “To be honest, I'm no expert on this subject. “I believe in doing your job honestly and leaving the rest to God,” he says. How has he managed to remain popular with all age groups? “Because I am God's chosen one!” he jokes.“It's a very good time for independent music and artists. The market has opened up thanks to various music streaming platforms. The concert scenario in India has also improved significantly. It's more organized now, so international artists are more comfortable and sure about performing here,” he added. They know they will be treated professionally. ”'karan johar And Varun Dhawan reintroduced Bijulia to the world.”Recently, his song 'Bijuria' was recreated for the film 'Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari' and Sonu enjoyed it. “The younger generation didn't know about the glory of Bijulia. Karan Johar and Varun (Dhawan) reintroduced my song to the world. Now three generations are hooked on it. The kind of response and response I have seen on social media is amazing.”“Kirtidan Gadhvi’s love for me is humbling.”Sonu shares a special bond with Kirtidan Gadhvi, one of Gujarat's most loved singers. In an interview last year, Gadhvi said he would like to collaborate someday. Sonu said, “Kirtidan Gadhvi's love for me is humbling. He is a great artist and an even better person. I love him and his family. We have decided that once our schedules settle down a bit, he will take me to Dwarka and a few other pilgrimage destinations in Gujarat.””
