Some Facts and stories about Sonu Nigam

 

 

1. Song 'Soniyo' was recorded in 9 different voices before finally being finalized in the voice of Sonu Nigam. Director Mohit Suri and producer Mukesh Bhatt wanted to try some new voice for Soniyo. So they kept on trying with different voices but none clicked. Ultimately Sonu came and recorded the song. Although I am not sure about those 9 singers but I think Krishna and Kunal Ganjawala were among those.

2. Song 'Kal Ho Naa Ho' was recorded twice by Sonu Nigam. First according to director Nikhil Advani's wishes and then according to Karan Johar. After recording the first version he went abroad. But Karan wanted this song to be recorded again and unfortunately Sonu Nigam could not provide the dates. Nikhil adviced Karan to record this song in Shankar Mahadevan's voice. But Karan insisted that this song belonged to only one person and that is Sonu Nigam. It is said that Karan had to wait for almost over a month before the song could be recorded again.

3. Sonu Nigam had recorded half of the song 'Tera Jadoo Chal Gaya' but then due to some reasons he had to leave India. Ismail Darbar in the meantime recorded the song with Hariharan but Ismail was not happy. According to him Hariharan could not provide the soul that he was looking for in the line "Tu Mujhko Mil Gaya". Eventually Sonu Nigam came back and recorded the song. 

4. Anu Malik praises Sonu Nigam a lot for his song 'Rabba Mere Rabba' because this song was recorded in mere 14 minutes, in spite of the fact that Sonu Nigam was not 100% with his throat that day. 

5. Gulzar Saab was so happy with Sonu's rendition of Saathiya that he gifted his collection of Shayari's 'Pukhraj' to him.

6. Reality show 'SaReGaMa' was initially given the name Sargam by the director of the show Gajendra Singh. It was Sonu Nigam who gave 'SaReGaMa' its name.

7. Before the recording of 'Yeh Dil'Deewana', director Subhash Ghai told Sonu Nigam that he has to bring in 3 different moods in the song'Happiness, sadness and anger. This is something which a music composer won't teach you and Sonu brought all the three emotions in his singing. That famous 'aaah' in the song is inspired from Michael Jackson.
