Added additional content

Born on 30th July 1973 Sonu Nigam hails from Faridabad in the state of Haryana. Right from childhood, one could easily realize that Sonu had a special inclination towards music. His father, Agam Kumar Nigam, was a singer and because of him, Sonu chose the same path. Sonu’s singing career began way back at the age of 4 when he accompanied his dad to perform the song ‘Kya Hua Tera Vaada.’

Sonu spent his childhood in an environment that included a lot of music and thus was naturally talented in singing. He had a chance to sing in family celebrations and other small events so he could become a rather self-confident young man. His parents saw talent in him and nudged him towards music from childhood.

Sonu left his home at the age of 19 to find work in Mumbai as a singer. Despite the challenges in his early youth, he has not been discouraged because of his love for singing. Finally, with much patience and effort, Sonu managed to establish himself as India’s beloved singer. It is often observed that people who have a passion for something since childhood make great careers out of it, and this is a perfect example.

Madhurima was born in a Bengali family and has an education in law and has a good academic background. She is not only a highly educated woman but also the one who supports Sonu in his career from the start. The two got acquainted through friends and developed an affection for one another that culminated in their wedding in 2002.

Madhurima has hardly stepped into the spotlight; she has played a perfect mother and wife by staying away from the media. She is a very important person in Sonu’s life and helps him to stay grounded during the dizzying heights of success and the crippling lows of failure. The couple is blessed with a son, Nevaan Nigam, born in 2007 who also has an interest in music at this tender age.

Their love marriage is one of the most respected love marriages in the entertainment industry. Even though she is a very private person, Madhurima has always been a positive force in Sonu Nigam’s life.
