Sonu
Nigam
has
decided
to
thank
the
Lord
on
his
firstborn
Nevaan's
birthday
(July
25)
with
a
jagran.
Sonu
confirms,
"I
am
planning
a
jagran
on
Nevaan's
birthday.
We
want
to
give
a
special
thanks
to
the
Almighty
for
giving
us
Nevaan.
I
come
from
the
capital
city,
I
and
it
will
be
a
typical
Delhi-type
jagran.
I
have
hired
a
jagran
orchestra
from
Delhi
and
one
of
my
closest
friends,
who
is
an
expert
at
such
functions
will
come
for
it.
Dad,
my
sisters,
my
mom
and
I
will
be
all
singing
at
the
jagran." The
jagran
will
not
be
held
at
the
Nigam
residence
as
it's
a
all-night
affair
and
it
might
disturb
the
residents.
Sonu
says,
"We
will
hold
the
jagran
at
a
different
venue.
It's
not
a
mata
ki
chowki,
which
ends
at
10
pm."
Sonu
recalls
that
the
he
had
a
similar
'thanksgiving' twelve
years
ago
on
his
parents'
25th
wedding
anniversary
12
years
ago,
"Jagrans
are
part
of
our
culture.
At
the
anniversary,
I
had
sung
only
one
song
but
at
my
son's
birthday
(Nevaan
turns
one
year)
I
will
sing
as
many
as
possible
though
he's
too
young
to
realise
it.
After
the
jagran,
we
will
have
a
puja."
The
proud
papa
says
that
Nevaan
also
seems
to
have
the
singing
gene,
"When
Nevaan
was
eight
months
old
and
I
was
sitting
with
Nevaan
and
singing,
suddenly
he
sang
'aaa'
in
the
same
note.
I
was
shocked!
I
have
recorded
his
pitch
and
now
he
sings
and
catches
my
pitch
every
time
I
sing
a
note.
It's
incredible." Nevaan's
is
totally
a
papa's
boy.
Sonu
laughs,
"Nevaan
is
papa's
poonch
(tail).
He
loves
being
with
me.
I
try
and
take
him
with
me
whenever
and
wherever
I
can.
He
has
also
travelled
half
the
world
with
me
USA,
Germany,
Dubai,
Spain,
Singapore,
Bangkok,
Phuket
you
name
it
and
he's
gone
there.
And
he's
the
best
baby
on
every
flight.
Nevaan
doesn't
cry
even
once
on
an
eight-hour
flight.
