was famous but wanted to have my indie music and indie movies. When ‘Tu’ came out in 1998, I was already seven years old in Mumbai and my show Sa Re Ga Ma had been going on for over three years with excellent TRPs. Was it coming in front of the camera, an organic switch? “I was expecting it! It was quite late. With an equally magnetic on-screen presence, Sonu found huge fame in no time. He also became the first Indian singer to host a reality show – Sa Re Ga Ma around the same time. As Sonu became the most sought after voice in playback singing, he also began producing and appearing on his solo albums. After years of wrestling, Border, Pardes and Dil Se performed around 1997-1998. Sonu started singing at a very young age and picked it up professionally in the early 1990s. So a collection of these hit songs catapulted me into the category of a good singer ”, Sonu nigam says. With ‘Yeh Dil Deewana’ they finally took me as a versatile singer. But people still thought that I would only sing patriotic songs. In 1997, ‘Sandese Aate Hain’ came along and it became an overnight success. They never thought that I could also do a “What is a mobile number”. “After ‘Achha Sila Diya’ people thought I could only sing sad songs. Sonu nigam reveals that shortly after the release of Bewafa Sanam (1995), one of his first notable albums, he was afraid of being cataloged. The singer-songwriter ace may have sung in almost every Indian language, but it took a while for him to prove his versatility.
