Ace singer Sonu Nigam has number of hit songs under his name. From early 90s to 2000s Sonu Nigam would sing in almost all films. But from quite a few years the singer is getting less songs to sing in the industry. While talking to India Today Sonu Nigam revealed the reason behind getting few songs. “Sometimes, I feel like it would be better if I was from Pakistan. At least I would get offers from India.” Sonu Nigam also said that nowadays, singers have to pay to music companies to do the shows. He revealed that if they don’t shell out money, they play songs by other singers and highlight the same.
“They don’t do the same with Pakistani singers. But then why single only Indian singers out? Atif Aslam is a very close friend of mine. He is never asked to pay to sing at shows, neither is Rahat Fateh Ali Khan,” added the singer. Earlier Sonu Nigam had been reluctant about Pakistani singers coming to Indian film industry for work. Sonu blamed this on the increasing number of remixes nowadays. “Earlier, composers, lyricists and singers created a song. Now, music companies have taken over that job,” he said.
