Sonu Nigam remembers Anu Malik harassing him in the beginning of his career
Sonu Nigam recently discussed his friendship and working relationship with well-known music composer Anu Malik with whom he has co-written some of the most well-known songs during an interview with Bollywood Hungama. Speaking of their friendship, Sonu recounted how Anu Malik severely tormented him in the beginning of his career because he was the more experienced and elder musician in the field. Sonu described how he was initially frightened before learning how to handle him, ‘First I used to get scared of him. When I was new in the industry, he used to bully me, in the sense that he was older than me, and had a lot of experience. I met him when I was 14 years old, at a competition which I won. That time he had said, get him to me when he grows up. When I came to Mumbai, my dad and I went to see him. He was very intimidating at that time. But slowly, I understood how to deal with him. Jitna daboge, utna dabaenge. I even learnt a lot from him, he is my guruji.
When Sonu revealed that he doesn’t want his son to become a singer in India
In addition to his successful job, Sonu Nigam is a very modest and family-oriented person in his personal life. For those who don’t know, the great singer is wed to Madhurima Nigam, and the two are parents to Neevan. Neevan shares a passion for music with his dearest Daddy. But his father is the one who opposes his son’s career as a singer in India. In a previous interview with The Times Of India, Sonu revealed more about it and mentioned, Frankly, I don’t want him to be a singer, at least not in this country. He is a born singer, but he has another interest in life. He is a brilliant child with a lot of qualities and talent. And I don’t want to tell him what to do. Let’s see what he wants to do himself.

When Sonu discussed his perspective on the shifting dynamics in the new-age music industry
