Sonu Nigam Sonu Nigam is the eldest of the three siblings. He has two sisters — Meenal Nigam, a yoga guru who is one year younger than him and Teesha Nigam, a singer, who is 11 years younger than him. Sonu : Meenal and I would dance on the terrace of our rented house when I was 6 and she was 5.
I used to observe the dancers’ steps at the concerts I did and then I’d teach them to Meenal. We don’t do that anymore. As for Tinni (Teesha), I miss picking that tiny toddler up from the bus stop in my bicycle.
My parents loved that sight of the elder brother and the youngest child together. Meenal : As kids, we would go to our chacha’s home in Delhi and we’d sleep on the terrace on wooden manjis. We looked at the stars and talked endlessly.
I miss spending that time with bhai. Also, both of us loved watching movies. So, as kids, we would watch so many films together, mostly horror ones.
We would watch them in a dark room, scream in some scenes and cover our faces. Since Teesha was a baby, we would send her to another room. Bhai and my love was films was so intense that we would exhaust all of them and wait for a new one to release.
We try to relive that time whenever possible even now. Teesha : The most memorable time of my childhood with dada was when I was a little girl, and he had just started travelling abroad for shows. He would always return home with a bag designated for me, full of chocolates and toys.
That gesture would make me feel like a princess. I miss those .
