Yes I felt the same.

It makes me so glad to hear that despite being a non Kannadiga, Sonu Ji gets so much love from Karnataka fans...to the point that some even think he's a native Kannada speaker! Immensely talented person indeed!

There are many people in India who are currently working in film , TV serials industry , music industry who are being neglected , ignored and even insulted at times. Such people , if you go and ask , they will tell that they aren't close to anyone else in their own industry ,they feel marginalised . And this is purely clear from our observation they most often we are unable to see them in and around production of films , serials , music albums. which proves that they aren't taken into consideration . Actually these people only deserve to be among top class artists. From years we observe that artists go bankrupt , face troublesome situations , give up their lives and that is happening due to marginalisation itself . Artists like Vid. Sonu Nigam , actors , actresses who are sidelined and who really deserve public attention , should be made a part of more and more productions . Just like what happens in Carnatic music , even novice comes for his/her Arangetram and perform in front of his/her Guru but it is exact opposite in North India. There is a topic which is very vibrant now especially in North India , now CBI has also intervened in that matter. That topic shows the real face of what artists from small background ( financially , socio-economically ) are suffering from in their daily life. There are many people like Sonu Nigam who want to be with everyone , that will be their inner joy and pleasure . Such people don't look at something as left out they want everyone in India to be integrated , together . For them sense of togetherness is best scenario but this is ideal .Yet such people try out hard to achieve them. Gratitude to such people's courage who are for welfare of human society as a whole. 31:00 Here Sonu ji points out the gravest problem of favouritism , selective nature of people who are at top that is existing in industry in North India again that problem is pointed out at 40:15 1:14:49 People may be shocked upon hearing this. A renowned personality from North India states that music and ethics is better in South India than North India , so this portrays how much problematic industry in North India may be. But simply staying like that won't do anything some day some one has to come to solve this problem

its not her fault she couldn't help it Sonu Nigam himself his WIFI was not set up properly

Amazing! I had just expressed this same thought in my comment. Speaking of the humility of Northeners..let's not get into that. I have rarely seen or heard a Carnatic kriti in a Hindustani concert. But Carnatic musicians deliver Hindustani bhajans and bandishes with equal aplomb.
