Sonuji is Raju Singh's Fav singer,

Tell us a the story behind making of the track - 'Soniyo'.


When Mohit and I worked out the entire song, we played it to Mukesh Bhattji and Mahesh Bhatt saab. They were all very kicked about it. Then we wanted to polish the song even more. I had sung the scratch version of 'Soniyo' and all of them wanted to keep my voice as the playback. By that time we had heard the song so many times that we were convinced the song was over. But realistically we had to rope in a singer. We went for Sonu Nigam. He said that it will be a super hit song. He also stated in one of his interviews that 'Soniyo' comes in the top ten songs he has ever sung.
Let's do a quick rapid fire now. Your best song.
'Gun Gunati Hain Geet Gaati Hain' from Madhur Bhandarkar's Satta sung by Sonu Nigam and Asha Bhonsle and 'Soniyo' of course
Do you see Raaz-TMC winning a lot of awards in 2010 for its music?
I'm sure Sonu Nigam will win for his melodious voice in 'Soniyo'.

She was so glad to get tips from Sonu, and with his permission she called her parents and made them talk to the singer,” quips the source.

Caravan-E-Ghazal by Talat Aziz - Launch Photo's
Saregama India Ltd, India’s foremost music company launched its new album “Caravan-E-Ghazal” at St. Andrews Auditorium, Mumbai.

The event was attended by an august gathering of eminent artistes, journalists and dignitaries.
Speaking at the launch of his album Talat Aziz said “This album is a culmination of a lot of love and hard work. I have tried to keep the compositions traditional keeping the great poets of Urdu and their poetry in mind, yet embellished the music with contemporary treatment. I was greatly helped in this by Jeetu Shankar who has arranged the music. And the highlight is the ghazal Sonu Niigaam has sung with me adding a new dimension to this album. I pray that everyone who listens to it likes it and hope that apart from the traditional lovers of the ghazal we manage to rope in new listeners to this CARAVAN .”
Sonu Niigaam, who has partnered with Talat Aziz for one of the tracks in the album shared his experience while recording the album and said, “I always wanted to sing ghazals, and ever since I got to know Talatji, it’s been my privilage to work with him.”
Atul Churamani, Vice President – Saregama India Limited said “It’s an honour for us to be associated with this project. There is a dire need for music today to have good poetry and “Caravan-E-Ghazal” is the epitome of that. It is the work of nine of the greatest poets set to some memorable music by Talat. The track with Sonu Niigaam ‘Qurbaton Mein Bhi…’ is the icing on the cake.”
Caravan-E-Ghazal is an anthology of Ghazals, which weaves together a selection from master poets of the Urdu language.
