MUMBAI : Sonu Nigam is a singer, music director, and actor. He has been described in the media as one of the most popular and successful playback singers of Hindi cinema.

The singer recently got embroiled in a controversy yet again. According to a report, BMC chief Iqbal Singh Chahal's cousin Rajinder has apparently been giving a tough time to him.

Apparently, Iqbal had connected Sonu to his cousin Rajinder, requesting him to perform at a concert overseas. As Sonu's concert detailing is handled by an international promoter named Rocky, the singer reportedly asked Rajinder to connect with Rocky and apparently, this exchange did not go down well with Rajinder, who, according to sources, sent derogatory and slanderous messages to Sonu.

The source also claimed that Sonu also has audio clips and screenshots of the threatening conversation. But he has not taken any action yet.

The recipient of several accolades, including a National Film Award, two Filmfare Awards and two Filmfare Awards South, Sonu has been honoured by the Government of India with Padma Shri, the country's fourth-highest civilian honour for his contribution in the field of arts.

Stay tuned for more news from the entertainment industry.
