The Story in Brief
Singer Sonu Nigam, in a podcast with Komal Nahta, said he performed with Michael Jackson’s brother Jermaine Jackson at the IIFA awards. He met Jermaine by chance in the US after Michael’s death, and together they sang a tribute song that Nigam had composed while crying. Nigam recalled the audience was spellbound.
Nigam also listed other international collaborations: a song with Britney Spears for one of her albums, a track with Avicii, and one with Polish singer Natalia. He said staying in India limited his opportunities but he was grateful for the chances he got. He is now releasing 'Oh Tabassum' from the upcoming film Batwara 1947, starring Sunny Deol, Preity Zinta and Shabana Azmi.
The Indian Opinion
Some will dismiss Sonu Nigam’s podcast chat as name-dropping, Britney Spears, Avicii, Jermaine Jackson. But listen closely: he stayed in India and still bagged those collaborations. That quietly punctures the lazy narrative that Indian artists must move abroad to go global. The real test is whether his new song 'Oh Tabassum' from Batwara 1947 gets any international traction or remains a Bollywood footnote.
