Sonu doesn't sing for money anymore

Noted singer Sonu Nigam has been in the film industry for over a decade now and his progress is remarkable. He has many hit numbers under his belt and had earned name as a pop singer too. However, his life has taken a sea change of late. He used to record eight songs in a single day at one point of time but he sings only three songs a month these days. This doesn't mean that he is not in demand. The fact is he is happy doing a few good works and money doesn't hold importance to his life anymore.

His work ethics and life has taken a drastic change over the years. "I'm deliberately cutting down on work. I don't believe in doing mediocre stuff, I'd rather concentrate on quality than quantity. I don't work for money, I work for creative satisfaction. Self-motivation is what gets me going now," he said. He had even announced recently that he would quit singing to take up farming but he has decided to go slow. He said that he would do what he loves like reading, working out and traveling before eventually getting into farming. He added that he is having good time in the US.

The singer has changed with growing age and even sports long hair, giving 'I don't care' look. So, has he turned spiritual? It doesn't seem so if his words are to be believed. "Everybody evolves as they grow older. We get saner. I've realized that the higher our expectations, the more frustrated we get. I'm learning to have a more callous approach to life; I'm learning to let go. Spirituality is an over-exploited word. I have great faith in numerology, but I usually believe in something only if it has a practical basis," he clarified.

Another news is doing rounds that his marriage is on the rocks but he is not in the mood to talk about it. He diplomatically said that he had never talked of his personal life in the past and would never do so in the future too. He added that he gives damn care to the rumors, as people who are close to him know the truth.

Well said. Better to have really A-class 3 immortal hits than 30 short term hits.

Thanks Appa. You have a habit of getting a masterpiece article suddenly out of your bags 😆

What does he mean by saying that he is learning to have a more callous approach to life now? Does he know the meaning of callous? Or is it the writer who has gone haywire? 😕
