Never run out of things to learn from Sonu Nigam: Jonita Gandhi

Mumbai–Jonita Gandhi, who has teamed with her “mentor” Sonu Nigam to croon a song in the film “Friendship Unlimited”, says there’s always something new to learn from the popular singer.

Jonita, who has sung songs like “Sau tarah ke”, “Breakup song” and “Gillehriyan”, has lent voice to “Affu Khuda” with Sonu. It is a remixed version of the 1960s superhit song from the movie “Jab Jab Phool Khilen”, read a statement.

The experience of working on the song is memorable for Jonita as Sonu was the first from Bollywood to introduce her to the professional stage. What started with the need for one singer to perform at his public concert in Canada led to an invitation to tour with him around the world.

This introduction began her career as a professional singer.

Talking about it, Jonita said: “The way I met him was through an online contest he held in 2009 where I was one of the winners. The result was that I got to be part of a tribute to Michael Jackson in which Sonuji also sang. I was thrilled then, and now my dream of sharing a film song with him has finally come true.

“I’ve always looked up to him growing up, and while sharing the stage with him for years now, I never run out of things to learn from him.”

Bhagwan Hai Kahan Re Tu from PK Movie Sing by Sonu Nigam

Bhagwan Hai Kahan Re Tu Lyrics from PK Movie: A spiritual song beautifully rendered by Sonu Nigam, composed by Shantanu Moitra & beautifully put down in words by Swanand Kirkire.

Hai Suna ye poori dharti tu chalata hai
Meri bhi sun le araj mujhe ghar bulata hai
Bhagwan hai kahan re tu
Hey Khuda hai kahan re tu

Hai suna tu bhatke mann ko raah dikhata hai
Main bhi khoya hun mujhe ghar bulata hai
Bhagwan hai kahan re tu
Hey Khuda hai kahan re tu

Aa...
Main pooja karun ya namajein padhun
Ardaasein karun din rain
Na tu Mandir mile, na tu Girje mile
Tujhe dhoondein thake mere nain
Tujhe dhoondein thake mere nain
Tujhe dhoondein thake mere nain

Jo bhi rasmein hain wo saari main nibhata hoon
In karodon ki tarah main sar jhukata hoon
Bhagwan hai kahan re tu
Aye Khuda hai kahan re tu

Tere naam kayi, tere chehre kayi
Tujhe paane ki raahein kayi
Har raah chalaa par tu na mila
Tu kya chaahe main samjha nahin
Tu kya chaahe main samjha nahin
Tu kya chaahe main samjha nahin

Soche bin samjhe jatan karta hi jaata hun
Teri zid sar aankhon par rakh ke nibhata hun
Bhagwan hai kahan re tu
Aye Khuda hai kahan re tu

Hai suna ye poori dharti tu chalata hai
Meri bhi sun le araj mujhe ghar bulata hai
Bhagwan hai kahan re tu
Hey Khuda hai kahan re tu
Bhagwan hai kahan re tu
Hey Khuda hai kahan re tu..

Sonu Nigam's son Nevaan Nigam Recorded a song with Lata Mangeshkar

Little Nevaan Nigam's turning out to be a regular chip off the old block. At three, Bollywood rocker Sonu Nigam's son has already cut his first song. And, that too with the Voice of India - Lata Mangeshkar herself! 

The story goes that Lataji approached Sonu and asked him if Nevaan would conclude a song on her new album by performing a sargam. This, those into singing and Hindustani classical music will know, is far more difficult than just singing or reciting words.

But Sonu, who himself has contributed and sang alongside Lataji on the new album, immediately agreed. And the singer is now brimming with pride and joy because the songstress Lata Mangeshkar posted on her Twitter account that:

Sonu told reporters, "I believe that Nevaan is truly blessed. To be asked by Lataji to sing with her at this young age, is in itself a great honour. Her compliment to Nevaan even tops all the ones that I've got through my entire career."

Nevaan isn't formally being trained as a singer yet. "But he's an intelligent child and grasped every sur very quickly. He has a good music sense," said the proud father. "When we taught him the sargam, the incentive we gave him was the opportunity to sing on the mike. Nevaan was eager enough!"

Nevaan with his Mom

Sonu Nigam has decided to thank the Lord on his firstborn Nevaan's birthday

Sonu confirms, "I am planning a jagran on Nevaan's birthday. We want to give a special thanks to the Almighty for giving us Nevaan. I come from the capital city, I and it will be a typical Delhi-type jagran.

I have hired a jagran orchestra from Delhi and one of my closest friends, who is an expert at such functions will come for it. Dad, my sisters, my mom and I will be all singing at the jagran."

The jagran will not be held at the Nigam residence as it's a all-night affair and it might disturb the residents. Sonu says, "We will hold the jagran at a different venue.

It's not a mata ki chowki, which ends at 10 pm." Sonu recalls that the he had a similar 'thanksgiving' twelve years ago on his parents' 25th wedding anniversary 12 years ago, "Jagrans are part of our culture. At the anniversary, I had sung only one song but at my son's birthday (Nevaan turns one year) I will sing as many as possible though he's too young to realise it. After the jagran, we will have a puja."

The proud papa says that Nevaan also seems to have the singing gene, "When Nevaan was eight months old and I was sitting with Nevaan and singing, suddenly he sang 'aaa' in the same note. I was shocked! I have recorded his pitch and now he sings and catches my pitch every time I sing a note. It's incredible." Nevaan's is totally a papa's boy. Sonu laughs, "Nevaan is papa's poonch (tail). He loves being with me.

I try and take him with me whenever and wherever I can. He has also travelled half the world with me USA, Germany, Dubai, Spain, Singapore, Bangkok, Phuket you name it and he's gone there. And he's the best baby on every flight. Nevaan doesn't cry even once on an eight-hour flight."
