Sonu Nigam REVEALS Why He Left Sa Re Ga Ma Show
In a flashback interview with Lehren, Sonu Nigam once opened up with the shocking reason about why he left the singing despite seeing immense growth in his fame. Sonu revealed that after giving in 5 long years to the show, he felt that he is falling short of words. Having spent such a long time in the same show, Sonu felt that he was losing out on his grammar and vocabulary to describe or praise the people over there. “Mujhe laga ki ek hi cheez baar baar karne se, vocabulary khatam ho jati hai. Kaise mai Har Hafte Ek Hi Cheez Repeat Karu, usi tarike se logo ka bakhaan karu”, he added further.
Though Sonu Nigam accepted that the show was providing him ample fame, and after the exit he will have to make efforts to be known in the public’s vision, but he had a strong feeling that the time was right to make an exit from the show. Jokingly he also added further that, “Before people kick me out, I chose to leave the show myself”, highlighting the monotony of the same.
