Sonu Nigam’s post

Sonu shared a video on Instagram and wrote, ‘India and it’s pending Padma Awardees.’ In the video, he said that the two singers have inspired the whole world, one of them was limited to only Padma Shri award- Mohammad Rafi Sahab and the other did not even get the Padma Shri- Kishore Kumar ji. “Nowadays awards are being given posthumously, but even among the living people there are personalities like Alka Yagnik, who have had such a long and unprecedented career, yet they did not get the same respect. Shreya Ghoshal, who has been making her art recognised for such a long time, also deserves respect. Sunidhi Chauhan, who has inspired an entire generation with her unique voice, has also not got anything yet,” the singer said in the video.
