Sonu Nigam talks about the song that helped his career

Sonu Nigam says the song that helped steer his career was ‘Yeh Dil Deewana’ for the movie ‘Pardes’ starring Shah Rukh Khan.

In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Sonu said after his popular track ‘Achha Sila Diya’ from 1995’s “Bewafa Sanam”, he was only offered sad songs.

This was highly frustrating for him, since he says he wanted to diversify his repertoire with up-tempo songs as well.

He adds that the opportunity finally came with Music Director, Nadeem-Sharavan.

After assuring that he was more than capable, he contributed to the song and the rest is history.

Sonu says he started getting more new-age songs and also went on to sing for other SRK films such as ‘Kal Ho Na Ho’, ‘Om Shanti Om’, ‘Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani’, and ‘Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham’.
