1. Pardes, Yeh Dil Deewana: This patriotic romance made everyone go ‘Sim Sim Pola Pola.’

But first and foremost, there was Shah Rukh Khan zipping across Sin City… the wind whirling up fury in his lungs

2. Ab Mujhe Raat Din: With his album Deewana, released in 1999, the ‘Lord of Chords’ made a tremendous splash. It was nominated for the International Viewer’s Choice Award at the time.

3. Saathiya’s title track: This box office smash won every category, including Sonu’s first Filmfare award for Best Male Singer. The trio was completed by AR Rahman and Gulzar. Best. Greetings.

4. When the song Kal ho na ho was supposed to be recorded, Sonu Nigam was preoccupied. Rather than hiring another vocalist, Karan Johar waited a month for Sonu to return and record the song for the film. The song was included in Outlook’s list of Bollywood’s Timeless Melodies, making it the sole modern choice on the list. When it was first released, it was a huge hit.

5. Abhi Mujh Mein Kahin (English: “Still, somewhere inside me”) is a song from the film Agneepath, performed by Sonu Nigam and featuring Hrithik Roshan and Priyanka Chopra, with music by Ajay-Atul and lyrics by Amitabh Bhattacharya. In a single phrase, this song expresses a variety of emotions. It also depicts the fleeting nature of love.
