The
famous
singer
Sonu
Nigam
has
tried
his
luck
at
every
field
apart
from
direction
in
the
world
of
entertainment.
He
is
now
again
attracting
headlines
for
his
new
album
Classically
Mild.
The
refusal
of
broadcasting
the
songs
from
radio
stations
has
given
the
album
an
unprecedented
hype
and
Sonu,
as
happy
as
he
is,
has
sent
a
bouquet
and
a
letter
showing
his
thankfulness
to
the
radio
station.
Let
us
know
about
the
broadcasting
bruit
from
the
singer
himself:
What
happened
with
your
recently
released
album
Classically
Mild?
It's
not
such
a
big
matter.
Actually,
my
album,
which
I
released
in
February,
got
appreciated
by
the
veteran
Bollywood
singers
including
Lataji
and
Pandit
Yashrajji.
After
all
that,
I
was
charmed
thinking
that
all
the
big
radio
channels
will
broadcast
my
songs
from
this
album.
But
they
never
even
tried
for
that.
And
as
a
result
my
album
got
hyped
and
the
sale
increased.
At
the
same
time
I
knew
that
since
the
radio
stations
started
playing
the
new
songs,
people
have
stopped
buying
CDs.
And
having
the
experience
with
my
own
CDs,
I
can
realize
the
truth
even
better.
So
I
thanked
all
the
radio
stations
by
sending
bouquets
and
thanks-giving
letters.
Later
on
they
asked
me
to
pardon
them
and
wanted
to
play
the
songs
on
their
stations.
I
am
happy
that
everything
settled
down
quite
peacefully.
Now
that's
what
I
call
semi
Gandhi-ism.
Why
not
total
Gandhi-ism?
In
total
Gandhi-ism,
people
normally
go
for
complaining
which
I
avoided
in
my
maneuver.
And
even
if
I
was
in
loss
in
selling
because
of
their
non-cooperation
I
would
have
behaved
the
same
with
them.
And
that
would
have
called
total
Gandhi-ism.
But
the
scenario
is
completely
different
and
I
have
thanked
them
in
my
way.
Will
you
thank
them
again
for
playing
your
songs?
Their
playing
the
songs
would
be
a
help
to
music
in
general.
Audience
would
enjoy
something
new
besides
the
repetitive
Bollywood
songs.
When
they
are
not
interested
in
Sonu
Nigam's
songs,
then
what
will
happen
to
the
other
new
talents?
I
think
radio
stations
must
understand
that
promoting
new
talents
is
a
great
responsibility
to
them.
They
would
never
have
felt
shy,
afraid
or
doubted
playing
songs
from
Classically
Mild.
Now
it's
better
if
they
play
songs
from
the
album.
At
the
same
time
it
also
doesn't
matter
if
they
don't
play
it.
How
do
you
feel
the
need
of
releasing
such
an
album
after
reaching
a
great
stage
in
your
career?
I
think
classical
music
is
the
backbone
of
Indian
tradition
and
culture.
Taking
care
of
the
classical
music
is
like
being
supportive
to
our
seniors.
Making
the
classical
music
more
interesting
and
presenting
them
to
the
audience
is
the
best
way
to
serve
it.
How
did
you
think
of
making
it?
I
thought
experimenting
with
classical
music
in
the
way
I
want
is
not
possible
in
filmy
songs
as
there
we
always
have
the
control
of
producers
and
directors.
Many
times
we
have
to
sing
something
in
support
of
the
story
where
there
is
no
scope
of
experimenting
that
way.
Despite
that,
I
have
sung
classical
in
films
like
Baabul
and
Dev.
And
in
Dharm
I
have
sung
only
classical
songs.
I
wanted
to
make
such
an
album
that
can
offer
me
satisfaction
at
the
end
of
my
life.
Now
I
have
time
and
scope
to
go
for
something
of
that
sort
very
willingly.
I
have
no
bondage
now.
At
my
position,
I
don't
have
to
follow
the
market
to
sing
and
can
decide
offering
the
audience
something
that
I
wish.
At
the
same
time
I
am
happy
that
HMV
is
ready
to
make
two
new
versions
of
videos
of
my
album
in
the
age
while
all
are
avoiding
videos
to
save
money.
Had
you
ever
thought
of
getting
such
response
before
making
this
album?
Not
at
all.
I
never
thought
of
common
people
accepting
the
album,
but
I
knew
that
music
lovers
would
appreciate
the
hard
work
involved
in
the
album.
Even
before
that,
all
the
albums
that
I
have
made
such
as
Deewana,
Kismet
and
Chanda
Ki
Doli
have
grabbed
enough
attention
from
the
audience.
It
proves
that
the
makers
of
albums
are
fools
to
think
the
audience
a
fool.
Same
theory
is
applicable
in
films
too.
There
both
Rang
De
Basanti
and
Lage
Raho
Munna
Bhai
work
the
same
though
they
have
different
appeal
to
the
audience.
In
the
same
way
Taare
Zameen
Par
and
Partner
are
also
two
great
examples.
Audience
always
wants
something
new.
So
do
you
want
to
say
that
today's
audience
is
completely
changed?
Absolutely.
They
are
always
looking
for
new
things.
They
are
ready
to
accept
things
which
are
entertaining
and
at
the
same
time
profitable
to
them.
They
will
surely
reject
if
you
serve
them
the
same
thing
again
and
again.
I
would
have
made
another
album
like
Deewana,
but
people
would
have
reacted
like
what
the
hell
Sonu
is
doing!
And
I
can
promise
to
give
you
something
different
from
Classically
Mild
in
my
upcoming
album.
Please
tell
us
about
Classically
Mild.
It's
not
very
classical
that
people
may
not
understand
them.
It's
made
in
a
way
that
all
the
people
from
any
age
group,
any
society
and
any
place
would
accept
that.
There
are
songs
of
different
genres
that
you
cannot
differentiate
as
either
remix
or
fusion.
I
have
worked
really
hard
for
the
album.
I
have
taken
extreme
care
of
all
the
things
whether
it's
from
lyrics
to
music
or
from
songs
to
their
remixes.
I
had
to
appear
in
one
of
the
videos
of
the
album
and
I
worked
hard
on
my
physique,
too.
Does
it
mean
that
you
have
got
six
packs
for
the
song?
No,
I
didn't
attempt
anything
like
that
as
everyone
is
trying
it
out.
The
funny
side
is
that
it's
not
tough
to
have
six
packs
at
all
and
I
think
even
'Majnu'
can
have
it.
The
less
someone
eats
the
more
his
abs
get
visible.
I
think
it
looks
better
with
a
good
and
balanced
physique
only.
Otherwise
it'll
simply
look
too
bony.
Which
would
you
like
to
prefer
most,
is
it
the
songs
that
you
have
sung
for
films
or
is
it
the
songs
in
Classically
Mild?
It's
tough
to
decide
on
anything
like
that
because
I
worked
hard
on
both
the
fields.
At
the
same
time,
I
never
compared
amongst
my
works.
What's
the
reason
behind
your
singing
less
for
films?
Actually
I
am
too
busy
with
private
albums
and
cassettes.
So
I
don't
have
time
to
work
for
films.
You
have
even
acted
in
films.
Do
you
have
any
wish
to
come
to
acting
again?
That's
another
reason
behind
my
being
busy.
I
am
getting
so
many
offers
for
films
that
I
have
to
take
time
meeting
producers
and
directors
every
now
and
then.
I
have
to
spend
much
time
in
that,
as
all
want
me
to
listen
to
their
stories.
But
I
have
not
decided
on
anything
right
now.
I
want
to
stay
free
all
the
time
and
I
don't
want
any
kind
of
bondage.
If
I
start
doing
films,
then
I
have
to
stay
away
from
all
other
things.
What
do
you
like
most
amongst
singing,
acting
and
concert?
I
like
all
of
them.
I
don't
believe
in
doing
only
one
thing
stubbornly.
I
am
the
only
singer
whose
song
'Bijuriya'
has
become
famous
along
with
its
dancing
steps.
Along
with
singing,
I
love
to
compose
and
program
songs.
They
all
are
part
of
my
art.
It's
tough
to
count
on
any
one
song
as
my
favorite.
We
have
heard
few
new
talents
will
sing
with
you
in
an
upcoming
show
in
the
radio
station
Big
FM.
Please
tell
us
about
that.
It's
not
a
new
show
but
my
new
album
called
I
Want
Punjabi
Beats.
They
will
take
audition
of
few
talents,
and
from
there
I
will
choose
five
or
six
of
them
to
sing
with
me.
Pakistani
singers
are
always
applauded
in
Bollywood.
But
nowadays
they
are
coming
in
lots.
And
they
have
increased
the
competition
also.
Do
you
think
these
competitions
are
healthy?
I
don't
have
any
problem
with
Pakistani
singers.
I
think
the
whole
world
is
like
a
single
family
and
proved
they
are
not
doing
anything
illegal.
Everyone
is
allowed
to
travel
without
any
hindrance.
Now
a
Pakistani
may
come
to
India
and
I
would
like
to
see
the
vice
versa
also.
But
it's
really
bad
that
Indian
singers
cannot
go
to
Pakistan.
