Grandmaster Affan Kutty made a portrait of Sonu Nigam with 42 Rubik's Cubes in five minutes Sonu Nigam, who always addresses his fans as his 'extended family', decided to have Vedarrth launch his song as a gesture of reciprocating the love. Last year, on his birthday, the 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. The single, sung by Sonu Nigam and composed by PVNS Rohit, features a beautiful blend of Hindustani and Carnatic classical music.

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.'
