Sonu Nigam Shares Rare Throwback Photo of Three Generations of Women in His Family

Mumbai — Singer Sonu Nigam took a trip down memory lane Wednesday night as he shared a rare throwback picture featuring three generations of women from his family.

The singer posted a still from an old video shoot showing his mother, grandmother and sister seated together in an auditorium.

Sharing the image on social media, Sonu wrote, “Mummy, Naani and Tinni, 3 generations during the shoot of Agam Kumar Nigam ji’s shoot of his first video for his first album.. Main bhi kharidaar hoon.”

The picture appears to be from the filming of singer Agam Kumar Nigam’s music video for his debut album, “Main Bhi Kharidaar Hoon.”

In the image, Sonu’s mother and grandmother are seen seated in the front row of an auditorium, while his sister Teesha Nigam, affectionately called Tinni, sits beside them. The candid frame captures a family moment from the early days of Agam Kumar Nigam’s music career.

Agam Kumar Nigam, Sonu Nigam’s father, was a noted singer who performed extensively on stage and played an important role in introducing Sonu to music at a young age.

Sonu reportedly accompanied his father to concerts as a child, where he learned music and developed his love for singing.

Sonu made his Bollywood playback debut in the early 1990s and later rose to nationwide fame with songs from films including “Border,” “Pardes,” “Dil Se..,” “Kal Ho Naa Ho,” “Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham,” “Veer-Zaara,” “Saathiya” and “3 Idiots.”

Apart from playback singing, Sonu also became a familiar face on television. He hosted the music reality show “Sa Re Ga Ma Pa” in the mid-1990s. One of the show’s most celebrated contestants was Shreya Ghoshal, who was a teenager at the time.

Sonu has also appeared as a judge and mentor on several singing-based reality shows over the years. (Source: IANS)
