Sonu Nigam Rejected Filmfare for 'Sandese Aate Hain': Why?
- •Sonu Nigam was nominated for 'Best Playback Singer' at the Filmfare Awards for the iconic song 'Sandese Aate Hain' from the 1997 film 'Border'.
- •The song, a 10-minute 30-second track, was sung jointly by Sonu Nigam and Roop Kumar Rathod.
- •Sonu Nigam refused to accept the award because Roop Kumar Rathod, his co-singer, was not also nominated.
- •He believed it was unfair to credit only one singer when both had contributed equally to the song.
- •The film 'Border' has a sequel, 'Border 2', directed by Anurag Singh, starring Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh, and Ahan Shetty.
Why It Matters: Sonu Nigam rejected a Filmfare award for 'Sandese Aate Hain' due to his co-singer's exclusion.
