Key Highlights
On his 52nd birthday, celebrated on July 30, 2025, legendary singer Sonu Nigam unveiled his emotionally resonant new single ‘Kahani Meri,’ featuring a blend of Hindustani and Carnatic classical music, composed by PVNS Rohit and released under Nigam’s independent label, I Believe Music.
The song launch was uniquely marked by the participation of his youngest fan, Vedarrth, a one-year-old who shares the same birthday with Sonu Nigam and has been enchanted by his music since the womb, symbolizing the artist’s multi-generational bond with fans.
Alongside the musical release, Sonu Nigam announced the ‘Satrangi Re India Tour,’ a sweeping seven-city concert series themed around the seven emotional colours of love, promising audiences a deeply immersive and soulful musical experience.
The tour, conceptualized by NR Talent & Event Management in partnership with BookMyShow, will span Mumbai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, Pune, Shillong, and Delhi-NCR, with tickets going live on August 1, 2025, exclusively on BookMyShow.
‘Kahani Meri’: A Musical Journey of the Soul
The track ‘Kahani Meri’ is portrayed as a reflective ode to life’s quiet introspections and the soulful journey of the self, creatively captured in a visually stunning music video shot against the breathtaking landscapes of Leh.
Sonu Nigam describes the song as a metaphor for surrendering to life’s journey rather than merely chasing destinations, weaving poetic lyrics co-written by himself and G Ritesh Rao with a seamless classical composition.
The video artfully symbolizes moments of solitude, chaos, clarity, and connection, inviting listeners into an intimate contemplation of existence through the lens of music.
