AFTER GOING bare-chested for the cover of his recent album, Sonu Niigam seems to have taken to philanthropy; something Salman Khan has been doing for long.
But if things continue the way they are at the moment, Salman might actually have some serious competition. Not in bashing up people, but in showing love and concern towards the needy. We are talking about Sonu Niigaam, who has so far never really been associated with any crazy incidents.
Recently, while Sonu was travelling from his house to a venue where he was to perform, he came across a few street children.
And now that he has become a known face thanks to his acting adventures and reality shows apart from singing, he was recognised by the kids. They started requesting the singer to join them for sometime and sing a couple of songs.
Sonu, apparently, was too touched by their pleas to let them go. And though he could not stay there longer due to his own commitments, he decided to take the kids along with him for his concert.
The handful of kids hence not only got a ride of a lifetime in his cool car, but also got seats with the rest of the audience.
“The bright smiles on the faces of the children when they saw me were quite contagious and I couldn’t help but give them this sweet surprise. Even more heart-warming were their excited faces during the performance,” says a truly content Sonu.
And days after this, the singer still feels a sense of bliss. “The incident has created a sweet memory in my heart and I hope I can do much more for the underprivileged children,” he says.
Well, Sonu is still far from donating lakhs of rupees for a girl’s treatment or buying cycles for street children - which are typical Salman deeds - but this is surely a start! Good going, Sonu.
