why exactly is his take on marriage and his sharing tit-bits about his relationship (problems) being looked down upon?😕

It seems like he is recognizing the fact that once people get married (and think they have each other now), they start to take each others presence in their life for granted, and that can spoil things. So, if you know that nothing is permanent (like a contract, which will end sometime), then perhaps, people (and marriages) would last in each other's lives for good.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think he said anything negative for his wife. He just established that their day-to-day (living) life isn't very compatible. He is actually acknowleding his "fault"/"short-coming" because of his work, and saying that both of them have different expectations of each other.

Sigh. I donno why I am writing this... just couldn't make sense out of why his comments on marriage and relationship are being taken in hte negative.

Persy

when you are a public figure (like sonu is), and when he gives out an interview like that, he is putting his life out there for everyone to see... many marriages have their ups and downs, but what gives him the right to blurt out these things in public...?? does he has the consent of his wife...?? they are still married, and by making their problems public, he is only humiliating her and the constitution of marriage...

to him, maybe it is a compromise... i don't know... but there are many many people who are happily married and to them, it certainly is nothing like a contract... hence, he can't just make generalized comments like that... it is insulting...!

if you have problems at home, you discuss it at home and resolve it at home... you don't take it out on the streets...!!

i love sonu, but that does not mean i have to agree with whatever nonsense he comes out with....

for his own sake, i hope he gets his head straight... or he will only make things worse for himself and his own family...!!

it's good he is getting some offers here in the US, but everything in life is temporary... one of the things i loved about sonu was that he came across as such a humble person, but in this interview, seems like it's getting to his head... he better cometh off his high horse, because pride always has a fall...!!

sorry, but i find his comments extremely offensive...!!

When you are in a marriage and then say it should be a contract and not for life its insulting to the wife. At leat in my opinion its insulting.

I really love his singing - he sings a lot of Kannada songs these days and he sings it so well that it surprises a lot of people that he is not a Kannadiga. The amount of dedication this man puts into his singing is stupendous. A lot of other bollywood singers sing in Kannada too but their pronounciation and modulation is all over the place. But Sonu and Shreya - they are spot on. I hope he sorts all this out soon.

Here is what I think:

He did not like one bit to be a backup singer while handsome actors sang his songs in movies since he is young also (also himesh r). So he tried his hand in acting and when he was rejected, he was let down totally to the fact that it messed his head up because in India, Actors are more accepted than singers in many ways like(hairdos,popularity,etc).

He wanted to be in his own right and sing his own songs but his albums did not fare well. Only the filmi songs did and he could not stand that because the actor was also associated with the song.

I dont know why he came to America, It personally dont feel he would succeed here more than he would in India. Yes, he may add the Bollywood touch to rappers and singers here but that is about it. Dont except him to be a Jay Sean. I think that he his hoping his son will be like Jay Sean in his own right that is why he said he does not want his son to sing in India. If he can sing at all lol.

I think is is truly a confused man who needs to be in touch with reality. Just watch, give him 2 years and he will go back to India, do some movie songs, make money since he will not be able to be a professional singer here and come back to USA.

I think he wants all rights to his songs and he cannot fathom the fact that he is a playback singer just like (himesh r). Too bad because he was and is a great singer and has a wonderful voice.

Exactly! My thoughts as well... 😕

What's happened to him? This is a first for me, I didn't know about this! I couldn't recognized. Each time I read one more phrase of that interview, my frown deepened further. I hope he sorts this out soon. A singer of his caliber... Sad! 😕
