Sonu Nigam on turning a year old: No plans for future, I live in the present
Singer Sonu Nigam turned 52 on Wednesday and marked the occasion by celebrating with colleagues from the music industry in Mumbai. On the occasion of his birthday, Sonu also unveiled his latest single, Kahani Meri, a deeply personal track. Reflecting on the affection he received on his birthday, Nigam said, "It's a matter of divine good karma, good fortune that one receives so much love and pampering from one's colleagues, whether seniors or juniors. I'm extremely touched by the love that is showered upon me." He added warmly, "I have also loved my colleagues and seniors very truly and genuinely. And I think they see that—they reciprocate with equal love. Many of my friends who came today, we haven't met in a year probably, but just for this, they showed up." At this stage of his life, Nigam admits he has evolved. "I don't have any plans for the future. I live in today, in the present. I'm making sure that I'm not coming out with anything that is not special to me and only when I feel very special about a song or a project is what I want to come out, " he said. "The two things that I make sure I take care of are my singing and my fitness. If I really love myself and respect my craft, then I must dedicate time to my Riyaz and to staying fit. " Comparing his present self to the young singer who arrived in Mumbai over three decades ago, he reflected, "That Sonu was young, ambitious, aggressive, restless, full of dreams. Now, there is only gratitude towards the universe. Nothing left to achieve, no ambitions. I'm just completely enjoying the journey, completely in sync with the universe."

Acclaimed singer Sonu Nigam, celebrating his 52nd birthday today, July 30, announced his upcoming seven-city tour, 'Satrangi Re India Tour'. The tour will travel across Mumbai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, Pune, Shillong and Delhi-NCR, with tickets going live at 12PM on Friday, August 1, on BookMyShow. Produced and conceptualised by NR Talent & Event Management, the upcoming tour is billed as a celebration of the seven colours of love, 'each representing a unique emotion that resonates with Sonu Nigam's vast repertoire of songs,' according to a press release from the organisers. ''Satrangi Re', which translates to 'seven colours' in Hindi, is a musical journey that will take audiences on a rollercoaster ride of emotions, from the camaraderie of yellow to the tranquillity of purple. This tour is imagined as a journey through seven distinct emotions of love, inspired by the layered sentiment of Satrangi Re itself. From the fervent red of passionate longing to the quiet blue of painful separation, each colour corresponds to a song that has left an indelible mark – 'Main Ki Karaan?', 'Jeene Ke Hai Char Din', 'Zoobi Doobi', 'Sapna Jahan, 'Ro Lein De', 'Papa Meri Jaan', 'Mere Dolna', 'Abhi Mujh Mein Kahin', 'Shukaran Allah', 'Kal Ho Naa Ho' and more,' it further read. Additionally, the singer has also announced the release of his new single, 'Kahani Meri,' which blends Hindustani and Carnatic classical influences. Filmed in the picturesque Leh, the song is composed by PVNS Rohit and is released on Nigam's indie label, I Believe Music. Interestingly, the singer released the song today alongside a young fan, Vedarrth, who shares his birthday with him. '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, is heartening,' said Nigam in a statement, adding that he is excited about the 'Satrangi Re' tour. 'I love each of you, my extended family, for embracing my work. 'Satrangi Re 2025' is a way of celebrating our symbiotic bond of love through different colours, each depicting a specific emotion,' he added.

I've seen his musical journey so closely that it was a dream to execute a thematic tour as this one. I'm grateful to Sonu ji for always believing in our dream, and I'm certain this tour will be a celebration like never before.'
