Sonu Nigam always addresses his
fans as his “extended family”. And their symbiotic relationship and bond
doesn't just show in terms of the kind of love his music and concerts garner
across the world, but also in the way he reciprocates his gratitude towards
them. Last year, on his birthday, the legendary singer invited fans from across
the country to Mumbai for the premiere of his musical documentary Symphony of
Fate, which was followed by an intimate celebration with them. And, his 52nd
birthday on July 30, too, was equally heartwarming, as the Padma Shri recipient
launched a new single, Kahani Meri, with his youngest fan in attendance. The
launch saw the presence of Talat Aziz, Rahul Vaidya, Mame Khan, Sudesh Bhosle,
Jeet Ganguli, Anu Malik, Pawandeep Rajan, Sameer Anjaan, Shahid Mallya, Vipin
Aneja & Many More.
The track, sung by Sonu Nigam
and composed by PVNS Rohit, features a beautiful blend of Hindustani and
Carnatic classical music. Speaking about the song and having his youngest
admirer Vedarrth launch it, Sonu Nigam says: “I have always been full of gratitude
for my extended family across the world for all the love and blessings they
shower on me and my endeavours. Be it an 80-year-old elderly or a newborn
listening to my music — sustaining for over 47 years as a musician and still
receiving love for my craft wouldn’t have been possible without the blessings
of people across ages. That makes me bow down in gratitude. I always try to
stay connected to my extended family, and on my birthday, I will be celebrating
it with Vedarrth, who shares his birthday with me and turns one this year. His
parents tell me that he has been an ardent admirer of my music since he was in
his mother’s womb and continues to be so. Having him launch Kahani Meri, a song
that’s extremely close to my heart, would be heartening.”
He added that Kahani Meri marks
a musical journey of the soul and is a reminder to let life happen to you, to
surrender to the journey rather than chase the destination. Its music video was
shot in the majestic and serene landscape of Leh to highlight a poetic
reflection of self and the powerful moments that shape who we are. It’s
released by Sonu Nigam’s music label I Believe Music and distributed by Global
Music Junction.
Rajkumar Singh, Founder &
CEO, Global Music Junction, says: "At Global Music Junction, we take
immense pride in collaborating with artistes to create groundbreaking music
across all genres. Kahani Meri is a testament to that vision — a soul-stirring
track sung by the maestro Sonu Nigam ji. This offering is a heartfelt gift to
his fans, blending cinematic brilliance with the depth and intricacy of
classical vocal artistry. We’re honoured to have partnered with Sonu ji in
producing and distributing music that truly reflects his extraordinary talent
and artistic legacy."
Pranita Jaiswal and Anshuman
Tapase, both ardent Sonu Nigam fans, delivered their son, Vedarrth, on July 30,
2024, via a C-section as they wanted their child to share his/her birthday with
their idol. Vedarrth was exposed to Sonu Nigam's music since he was in his
mother’s womb, and the singer’s Hanuman Chalisa and Ram Siya Ram continue to
act like soothing lullabies for him. Vedarrt was a special guest at the
star-studded event.
