The coronavirus pandemic has brought the world to its knees with everyone struggling in one way or another. However, singer Sonu Nigam thinks that this time has been a "catharsis of a kind".
In a recent interview with a publication, Sonu said that he was reassured that his belief remained intact. "I feel reassured that my belief in the true nature of life, was the truth, and not what the world was trying to make me believe. I was surrounded by people who would broadcast in brazen arrogance that they were the Maai Baaps (creator, provider, sustainer, destroyer) of the music industry, the film industry. I could see the stark difference in my idea of success and their perception of success. I see all that crumble in front of my eyes today."
The singer also spoke about the recent demise of his friend and fellow singer and composer Wajid Khan and said, "Wajid was someone whom I loved more than he loved me. And I loved loving him. Because I just loved him. It’ll take me a very long time to come to terms with his loss."
Currently, Sonu is in Dubai due to the lockdown and has said that he has "no plans of coming back to India, as of now, given the pandemic". He further added that his home in Dubai is going to be ready in 20 days. He said, "We'll move there. I have a home studio, so I engineer it myself and get my work done myself. Until the concert scenario opens up, I don’t see any reason for me to leave my son here and stay in Mumbai alone in isolation."
