The man who painted our childhoods, gave us our first love songs and melodies of heartbreak, and awakened nationalism in an entire generation, the world bows before him. Happy Birthday Sonu Nigam!
Sonu Nigam is one of the most versatile singers in the industry who can rock a peppy number like ‘Bijuria’ and simultaneously make you tear up with ‘Kal Ho Na Ho’. On his 51st birthday, let us stroll through some of his most popular 90s and early 2000s songs that have shaped our childhood.
From the 1997 Shah Rukh Khan starrer ‘Pardes’, Sonu Nigam’s ‘Yeh Dil Deewana’ is a banger about the crazy heart that falls in and out of love. Anand Bakshi penned the timeless lyrics while the catching tune was composed by Nadeem Shravan.
‘Tumse Milke Dil Ka’ is a Qawwali and pop fusion Bollywood song that continues to rule Gen Z’s hearts. Starring Shah Rukh Khan, Zayed Khan, Sushmita Sen, and Amrita Rao, the ‘Mai Hoon Na’ song was written by Javed Akhtar and composed by Anu Malik.
From the 2008 Shah Rukh Khan and Anushka Sharma starrer rom-com ‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’, ‘Phir Milenge Chalte Chalte’ is a unique anthological song made with fragments of old classic Bollywood tunes. Voiced by Sonu Nigam, the music was arranged by Salim-Sulaiman and the lyrics were penned by Jaideep Sahni.
Sonu Nigam’s ultimate dance number ‘Bijuria’ belongs to the 1999 music album ‘Mausam’. Composed by Ravi Pawar and written by Ajay Jhingran, the raw beats and catchy lyrics make it a perfect Indian wedding song.
