Sonu Nigam often catches headlines for his strong views on several topics. The star is again making buzz after he schooled a fan during his performance at East Point College in Bengaluru.

Sonu Nigam on singing in Kannada
Nigam said, "I have sung songs in all languages. But the best songs that I have sung in my life are Kannada songs. Main aapke beech mein jabbhi aata hoon bohut pyaar se aata hoon. Shows toh roz karte hain humlog, lekin jab kabhi bhi Karnataka mein kahi bhi shows hote hain, hum bohut izzat se aate hain kyuki aap logo ne humein apna pariwaar maan hai."
He further continued and shared how a young boy tried to threaten him to sing in Kannada, "Mujhe accha nahi laga ki waha ek ladka jiski umar, jitni uske umar nahi hogi, use pehle toh main Kannada gaane gaa raha hoon (I didn't like the boy whose age, I have been singing Kannada songs before he was born). He was so rudely threatening me, 'Kannada, Kannada'. Yahi kaaran hai, Pahalgam mein jo hua hai na? Yahi kaaran hai jo kar rahe ho, jo kiya tha na abhi? Dekho toh kaun saamne khada hai. I love Kannadigas, I love you guys (This is the reason what happened in Pahalgam. This is the reason, what you did just now. Look at first who is standing in front of you)."
