In a heartwarming moment, Mumbai-based singer Afsana Khan shared a special birthday celebration with the legendary Sonu Nigam. The two singers, who have not collaborated on any official commercial tracks, share a warm bond that was evident in the video shared by Afsana on Instagram. In the video, Afsana and her husband Saajz can be seen celebrating Sonu Nigam's birthday inside a vanity van.
As they cut the cake together, Afsana lovingly feeds a piece of cake to Sonu, who smiles and tells her that she is the first person to ever cut his birthday cake. This sweet gesture left Afsana emotional and made the celebration a memorable one for her. The singer also shared a heartfelt note for Sonu, reminiscing about a special moment they shared on the sets of their project Bhoomi 2026.
Afsana revealed that she was invited to Sonu's birthday party, but was unable to attend as she was traveling to the UK. However, fate had other plans as she ended up celebrating his birthday with him on set. In her post, Afsana wrote, "Wishing a very belated Happy Birthday to the legendary Sonu Nigam Sir.
Sir’s birthday party is being held on the 9th, and I was honoured to receive an invitation. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to attend because I’m travelling to the UK." She went on to share the joyous moment they shared on set and expressed her gratitude for being able to celebrate with such a renowned artist and wonderful human being. It is clear that Afsana and Sonu share a warm bond, as evident from Sonu's live performance at Afsana's star-studded birthday celebration in June.
Although they have not officially collaborated on any commercial tracks, their friendship is a testament to the power of music to bring people together. In the end, Afsana wished Sonu endless happiness, good health, success, and God's blessings on his birthday once again.
