Hyderabad, Telangana, 29th of January, 2026 : Renowned singer Sonu Nigam opens up in a deeply reflective podcast episode of ‘Rooted For Life’ with Dr. Pradeep Sethi, Co-founder of Eugenix Hair Sciences, during an extensive conversation which touched above and beyond music, providing unique details about his early years, his spiritual journey and life principles that still guide him today.
The show explores Sonu Nigam’s career from a middle-class background in Delhi to his crucial migration to Mumbai in 1991, which transformed both his profession and personality. Singer spoke candidly about growing up without professional music teachers, instead training through watching, careful listening and absorbing knowledge from the people around him. He explained that this self-driven approach developed discipline, curiosity and resilience at an early age.
Iconic musician reflected on his childhood, recalling simplicity, limited money and a family that valued hard work over privilege. These developmental experiences, he said, taught him self-reliance and the value of ongoing learning – values which he carried with him as he entered the competitive and uncertain world of Mumbai.
A significant portion of the conversation revolved around his spiritual progress. He highlighted how Paramahansa Yogananda’s teachings followed by Osho’s, were essential to his spiritual shift. Nigam defined spirituality as an expression of life with awareness and submission, from practicing yoga, meditation, pranayama, and contemplation – at various times for as long as six hours a day- to embracing the concept of full devotion.
The versatile singer described the idea of “going with the flow,” stating that true understanding happens when one lets go of ego and control. According to singer, commitment must be complete rather than limited. He believed that clarity can only be achieved by completely bowing.
The discussion also focused on humility, sharing personal experiences of the singer and the host while travelling in Rishikesh, which underlined the belief that no amount of success elevates one above fundamental acts of devotion. The veteran singer spoke on why success cannot take away a person’s humility and how staying humble keeps one on track with their goals.
Another moving part of the podcast was about gratitude and connectivity. The legendary icon mentioned how no specific person can take all the credit for success by acknowledging many hidden efforts – ranging from farmers to blue collar workers – that support even our ordinary life. This knowledge, he suggested, promotes gratitude while keeping arrogance at distance.
In the conclusion to the podcast, the award winning raised the concept of the “true self” (Chetan) – consciousness that persists above identity, fame or labels. He highlighted why he developed to operate as both a participant and a viewer in his own life, achieving calm through disconnect and spiritual calm.
The podcast ended on an emotional note, with Sonu Nigam paying tribute to Dr. Sethi’s roots by singing an emotive Odia (Oriya) song, providing audiences with a sense of calm, thinking and inspiration.
