Guwahati: Ace singer Sonu Nigam has given us evergreen, soulful hits that live in our hearts and ignite all sorts of emotions in us.
The birthday boy, who turns 48 today, can even lift a mediocre song and make it an instant contagious number. One of the first memories of Nigam that rests in mind is 1995’s aching track from ‘Bewafa Sanam’ and pulling off another number in ‘Barsaat’, featuring a totally different mood and tone.
But Sonu Nigam became The Sonu Nigam in the late 90s, mostly 1997, and in the glorious discography of more than two decades that should continue in the future, here are some personal favorite songs of someone who’s clearly missed in today’s era of music. An era of twisting songs (read tarnishing).
On the special occasion of his birthday, let’s listen to his most memorable songs.
Sandese Aate Hain- Border (1997)
Aisa Lagta Hai- Refugee
Aate Jaate Jo Milta Hai- Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega
Rabba Mere Rabba Rabba- Mujhe Kucch Kehna Hai
The Title Track of Saathiya- Saathiya
The Title Track of Kal Ho Naa Ho- Kal Ho Naa Ho
Tumse Milke- Main Hoon Na
Jeena Ke Hain Chaar Din- Mujhse Shaadi Karogi
Sau Dard- Jaan-E-Mann
Jaane Nahin Denge Tujhe – 3 idiots
Main Agar Kahoon – Om Shanti Om
Suraj Hua Maddham – Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham
Yeh Dil Deewana – Pardes
