Surf 'N' Earn -Sign innow

Actor Sonu Nigam turned a year older recently. The actor speaks to us about his 'special' day, making music and crazy fans...

You haven't been keeping too well these days. Overworked?
"No, I am not overworked and in fact I am used to working hard. What I suffered from recently was a bad case of food poisoning. But I am ok now."

You turned another year older recently. Any self-revelations over the past year?
"I learn something new every day. I make it a point to keep a keen eye on myself. I will continue working and seek to do different things."

Any resolutions for the New Year?
"I want to read more. I have a library of books ranging from history and philosophy to psychology and science. I am currently reading 'Tuesdays With Morrie'."

Tell us something about the very special song you recorded on your birthday – Yeh rashtra prem ki bhavna .
"I always look to do something creative on my birthday. This song is very special and the best gift I could give myself and the country. Deepak Pundit has composed the music, while I have written it myself. I have also put in the money, as I was skeptical of giving it to a music company, for in this day and age old re-mixes and fast music, I was sure they would ask me to modify it according to the current trends. And that I didn't want to do. I'm sure ' Yeh rashtra prem ki bhavna ' will touch people's hearts."

You compose music for your albums. Then why not compose for films?
"It can be quite a headache to compose music for films. Also in the last 8-9 years I have stopped approaching people for work. I'd rather people come to me with proposals. I'd rather compose music for myself just for the job satisfaction rather than make it another measure of success. But yes, I am open to composing for movies, but that's only if and when the project looks good."

Actors go through a discipline regime to keep fit and look good. What do singers have to do to keep their voices 'fit'?
"Singers, these days, too, have to hit the gym and take care of their appearance. Gone are the days when singers could get away with fat bellies and triple chins. Playback singing has no longer remained a behind-the-scenes profession. With stage shows and all that, one has to at least be presentable. Also, working out helps strengthen the lungs. And like they say, singing is chathi ka khel (game of the lungs). A singer has to work on stamina, energy and body language besides of course his or her daily riyaaz ."

What's the craziest fan-incident you have experienced?
"There have been two extreme cases: There is this girl who insists that she is married to me, and is now convinced that I am ditching her and on my way to marry somebody else. It's scary; A few years ago, this educated boy came up to me and wanted to work at my house, even if it meant cleaning the dishes or ironing the clothes. I told him to go study and come back. The problem is that he came back. But I asked him to go again."
