Sonu Nigam started singing on stage at the age of 4

From the age of 4, he started singing with his father in stage shows and weddings. He often used to sing songs sung by Mohammed Rafi in stage programs.

Once Sonu went to a program with his father Agam Nigam and here he sang Mohammed Rafi's song 'Kya Hua Tera Vaada'. What was it then that his father started taking Sonu with him often and started doing stage shows? Sonu Nigam came to Mumbai at the age of 19 with the dream of becoming a singer. Here he started singing Mohammad Rafi's songs on stage.

Sonu Nigam's first album was 'Rafi Ki Yaadein'

Sonu took classical music training from Ustad Ghulam Mustafa Khan in Mumbai. During the stage show, the well-known company T-Series caught sight of Sonu Nigam and T-Series recognized his talent and met him. After this, his first album 'Rafi Ki Yaadein' was launched. Now Sonu Nigam has established himself as a singer.

Sonu Nigam made his career debut as a singer with the film 'Janam' although this film could not be released. Sonu Nigam started his film career with the song 'O Aasman Wale...' from the 1992 film 'Aaja Meri Jaan'. After this, he sang songs in films like 'Muqabla', 'Shabnam', 'Aag', 'Meherbaan'.

Got Filmfare Award twice

Sonu has won many awards in his illustrious career. Sonu Nigam has received the Filmfare Award twice so far. In 2002, he received the Best Singer Award for the title track of the film 'Saathiya'. Then in the year 2003, he was awarded both the National Award and the Filmfare Award for the film 'Kal Ho Naa Ho'.

Like his romantic songs, Sonu Nigam is also very romantic in real life. Sonu Nigam had fallen in love at first sight. His wife's name is Madhurima. Madhurima and Sonu met during a program. Both fell in love with each other in the first meeting itself.

Son Nevan is also interested in music

Both started dating each other. Gradually the friendship turned into love. Sonu and Madhurima dated each other for 7 years. Then decided to marry both of them. But the family members were not ready for this marriage, because Sonu was from a Brahmin family and Madhurima was from a Bengali family.

But both of them got married in February 2002, regardless of the cast. In the year 2007, Madhurima gave birth to son Nevan. Sonu Nigam's son Nevan is also very interested in music like him. His wife Madhurima stays away from the limelight and takes care of the family.

Once Sonu had told that Madhurima has all the qualities that an ideal wife should have. Madhurima has her own couture brand. The name of this brand is 'Madhurima Nigam'. Madhurima herself designs the outfits of Sonu Nigam.
