Iconic versatile singer-performer, reality-show judge and awesome mimic Sonu Nigam  is also known  innovative vocal experiments. On one of the already-telecast episodes of the popular Kapil Sharma Comedy Sony TV Show, celeb guest Sonu Nigam (who had come with his charismatic wife Madhurima ) presented an improvised, innovative version of the traditional song-game 'Antakshari'
Instead of the last letter of the song cue,. the brilliant Sonu selected the 'last-word' of each song and made it into a  'non-stop' jump-medley ( "Anta-shabd-kadi" ) of nearly 20 hit Hindi songs.

From  gaana 'Har ghadi badal rahi hai ' right up to gaana 'Tujhe laage naa nazariya' it was a smooth continuous melodious flow !. Everyone in Kapil's Sony comedy TV show studio-audience and millions of repeat-watch viewers were impressed and highly appreciated Sonu's daring 'live' hatke vocal experiment
What is commendable is super-talented Sonu Nigam’s spontaneity in  expressing his warm gestures and his sentimental care and ‘apnapan’ towards those whom he geuinely respects with his ‘Main Hoon Na’  reassuring nature.  Quite often, one gets to observe an attitude of  irreverence and indifference  by some of the younger generation towards Seniors, which is rather  painful. Which is why modest Sonu’s caring gestures are an exemplary lesson in humility. Actually Sonu-jee and I go back a long way, as I had interacted with him and interviewed him during the initial phase of his singing career, way back in 1995.and he fondly treats me like his "elder brother" whenever he meets me !...

Besides his  versatile multi-lingual vocal talents, with dozens of award-winning chart-buster evergreen songs , Sonu –jee is also known for his power-of-resilience  whenever he has faced a crisis. His personal docu-feature “Symphony of Fate” reveals his ability-to-bounce-back, despite a health-scare, just before a live-concert.  Also known as the "Modern Rafi," the unassuming Sonu considers legendary Mohammed Rafi -Saab as his iconic-idol .On Dec 24th, 2024 ( Rafi-saab’s centenary birthday )  rejuvenated Sonu Nigam performed a unique live tribute-memorial concert in Mumbai followed by yet another tribute- concert.months later.  That too in the presence of  Rafi-saab's family and his celeb singer son Shahid Rafi
