New Delhi:
Sonu Nigam has been in headlines for several different reason lately and now he is in talks for a video which has surfaced over the internet where he could be seen twisting a hand of his fans who is trying to take a selfie with him. The video is reported to be of last week when the 45-year old singer was at an art event and suddenly a fan walked up to him to click a selfie and the fan put his hand on Sonu’s shoulder. The singer didn’t liked his gesture and lifted his arm from his shoulder and twisted his arm.
However, the fan realised his mistake instantly and was also heard saying ‘sorry Sonu’. The singer also decided to forgive him and happily clicked selfie with him.
Meanwhile, Sonu’s reaction generated anger on some netizens who started trolling him over the social media and even termed him as a rude person.
Apart from this, some of his fans also defended him and found the fan in question for his behaviour.
Sonu Nigam has been doing playback for over 25 years and the singer believes the trick not to burn out is to keep learning. The singer, who has lent voice to tracks as diverse as “Sandese Aate Hainâ€, “Akhiyon Se Goli Mareâ€, “Saathiya†to “Abhi Mujhmein Kahinâ€, said it is not necessary to find a mentor in someone who is senior in age.
“If you have the humility, heart and soul, you can find that in youngsters too. One must keep their mind open and imbibe new things. People who say ‘in our times it used to be so great’ are the ones who don’t lead a happy life.
“I don’t dwell in that. I feel I sing better and different than what I did 25 years ago. I am not sounding the same so maybe I’ve learnt from Arijit Singh, Armaan Malik or all these younger people,†Nigam told PTI.
