The Birthday Song Sonu Nigam Sang

Sonu Nigam chose a unique way to celebrate his 51st birthday on July 30.

He screened the documentary, Symphony of Fate, which chronicles a disturbing chapter in his life and the way he overcame it. The singer had lost his voice just before a major concert in Dubai and yet, he managed to make a stunning comeback.

Rediff.com's Hitesh Harisinghani and Afsar Dayatar capture moments from the celebrations.

Sonu Nigam looks back at his journey and also shares the most prized birthday present that he received, just the night before, from Composer Salim Merchant.
