Famous Bollywood singer Kumar Sanu has spread the magic of his velvety voice since the 90s. Kumar Sanu has sung songs in many films. Those too are such songs which are still on the tongue till date. Even today people are a fan of his voice. Although he has sung many songs but there are many songs which he could not sing, were not offered to him or were offered to him but he could not do them. Kumar Sanu is very regretful about this.

Actually, recently Kumar Sanu became a part of Shubhankar Mishra’s podcast. During this, he talked about many things regarding his career, songs and journey. During this interview, Kumar Sanu also talked about his relationship with AR Rahman. During this, he also told that he regrets that he did not get a chance to sing the songs of the film ‘Roja’. However, he told that not only this but there are many other films in which he did not get a chance to sing, but he regrets the most for ‘Roja’.

Sad to not get these songs
In this interview, when Kumar Sanu was asked which were the songs which made you sad when you did not get them. You felt that if you had got these, you could have sung better. In such a situation, the singer said that there are many such songs. There are many singers like Udit ji and Abhijeet Bhattacharjee, there are some songs which would have been better if I had got them. He first said that there is a song from the film ‘Lagaan’ which was sung by Udit ji, I could have sung it better. That song would have sounded better with my voice.

Misunderstanding with Rahman
Talking about the relationship between him and AR Rahman, he said, ‘I have sung a song ‘Kabhi Na Kabhi’ for Rahman Sahab, I had sung this song for him long ago, after which there was some misunderstanding for the film ‘Roja’. At that time I was doing other songs, so it was not possible for me to go to Madras and record. He took this to heart and I regret that I could not observe the fast. I had told him that if you want to shoot then come to Mumbai and do it, I will not come there.

This was the only reason why the audience never got to see the Jugalbandi of Kumar Sanu and AR Rahman. Kumar Sanu also said that he is very serious about his commitment. Same thing happened at that time also and probably AR Rahman Saheb could not understand this. Well, whatever the case may be, the audience missed seeing this excellent Jugalbandi.

Playback singer Kumar Sanu expressed his opinion on the ongoing language dispute in the country. He said that talent and adaptation ability for work opportunities is more important than language.

Kumar Sanu said that every person in the country should have the freedom to work anywhere, even if his language is different.

What did Kumar Sanu say on language dispute

In a conversation with IANS, the singer shared his views on the language dispute and said that despite linguistic differences, everyone should have the freedom to work across the country. Someone’s learning ability and interest is different. I believe that work should not be interrupted because of this.

Kumar Sanu said, “I do not want to say much about the language. But, everyone has the right to work anywhere in the country. Learning language depends on the ability and interest of the person. The work opportunities should not be a hindrance in the opportunities.”

Recently there was a dispute across the country over language and regional identity. Singer Sonu Nigam got involved in controversies after his concert in Bengaluru. In the video surfaced, he was seen rejecting a fan’s request to sing Kannada singing, which he described as ‘wrong’.

In fact, Sonu compared the incident to the Pahalgam terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir, after which he was criticized. There was resentment in the Kannada -speaking community and a Kannada organization had filed a complaint against him, alleging that he was accused of promoting linguistic differences.

Apart from this, Bengali singer Iman Chakraborty also came into controversy in December last year. A video of the concert held in his Rajarhat, West Bengal went viral, in which he gave a strong reply to an audience demanding a ban on Bengali songs.
