MUMBAI: Sonu Nigam has carved a niche for himself in the music industry. His melodious voice has mesmerized the music lovers. He has crooned for innumerable films. However, he doesn’t want his son Neevan to become a singer.  

In a recent interview, the singer has revealed that Neevan is interested in gaming and lives in UAE. Sonu said that he doesn’t want his son to work as a singer in India.  

“Frankly, I don’t want him to be a singer, at least not in this country. Anyway, he does not live in India anymore, he lives in Dubai. I have already got him out of India. He is a born singer but he has another interest in life,” Sonu told Times Now.  

He added, “As of now, he is one of the topmost gamers of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). He is number 2 in Fortnite. There is a game called Fortnite and he is the top gamers in the Emirates. He is a brilliant child with a lot of qualities and talent. And I don’t want to tell him what to do. Let’s see what he wants to do himself.”

Sonu claimed Bhushan planted articles about him in the media and persuaded musicians to give interviews against him. The singer warned him to back off or he would expose him.
