Sonu Nigam has released his first independent Hindi-Haryanvi song Chunni with Haryanvi singer Renuka Panwar. The romantic track dropped on August 7, 2026, under Nigam's label I Believe Music in partnership with Warner Music India and Global Music Junction.

Renuka Panwar, born in 1999, is one of the leading female voices in contemporary Haryanvi music with hits like 52 Gaj Ka Damn and Chatak Matak. Her Spotify page has over 2.4 million monthly listeners. Nigam said he sought help from people familiar with Haryanvi pronunciation to get the flavour right, and called the song a fun, romantic number.

A seasoned Bollywood star teaming up with a regional powerhouse is not a gimmick but a smart recognition of Haryanvi music's growing national pull. Yet some observers might dismiss this as a one-off crossover. The real test will be whether Nigam follows through with more such offerings, as he has promised. Watch if Chunni holds its own on streaming charts beyond the first week, or if it fades fast against the next big release.
