Sonu NigamSonu Nigam (born July 30, 1973) is one of the popular film singers in Bollywood. A native of Haryana, he has modelled his singing style after that of the legendary Mohammad Rafi.
Nigam's first major song was Acchha Sila Diya Mere from the movie Bewafaa Sanam. His big break came in 1997 with the film Border, directed by J.P. Dutta. The film was scored by Anu Malik and the lyrics were written by Javed Akhtar. Nigam's duet with Roop Kumar Rathod, Ke Ghar Kab Aaoge, is especially memorable. All of his films have been flops.
Since then, Nigam has sung in many of the top Bollywood movies, under the baton of most of the major music directors of today. He also sings duets with fellow Bollywood playback singers Alka Yagnik and Udit Narayan. In addition to his playback work, Nigam also enjoys a successful Indipop career, and has released several albums. In June 2005, Sonu announced to the world that he will not be living with his wife, Madhurima, any more. During a July 20 (2005) concert in Kabul, Afganistan, his concert stage collapsed but Sonu Nigam left with only a back strain.
