MUMBAI: Sonu Nigam recently got embroiled in a controversy yet again. According to a report, BMC chief Iqbal Singh Chahal's cousin Rajinder has apparently been giving a tough time to him.
Apparently, Iqbal had connected Sonu to his cousin Rajinder, requesting him to perform at a concert overseas. As Sonu's concert detailing is handled by an international promoter named Rocky, the singer reportedly asked Rajinder to connect with Rocky and apparently, this exchange did not go down well with Rajinder, who, according to sources, sent derogatory and slanderous messages to Sonu.
Rajender has now issued a statement of clarification through his spokesperson stating that the claim is baseless. "The difference emerged between Mr Sonu Nigam and Mr Rajender Singh, as Mr Singh resisted working with one person referred to as Rocky and Mr Rehan Siddiqui recommended by Mr Nigam to perform at a concert overseas. Mr Rakesh Kaushal (alias Rocky) and Mr Rehan Siddiqui have been banned by the Ministry of State for Home Affairs, Govt of India. The duo have been known for malpractices and supporting Pakistan-based terror groups as reported earlier in media. They are blacklisted based on recommendations of the Consulate General of India. It is against the ethics of Mr. Rajender Singh Pahl to work with Anti-Nationals," it read.
Meanwhile, Sonu is all set to mark his comeback in the film industry with Aamir Khan starrer ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’. He will be crooning for Pritam who has composed the music for the film.
