Bollywood actor Kartik Aaryan's ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3' hit the big screens on Diwali. The film, which performed decent at the box office also lived up to its soundtrack expectations. Legendary singer Sonu Nigam has lent his voice to the song ‘Mere Dholna 3.0' as well as ‘Hukkush Phukkush', which highlights the electrifying energy of Rooh Baba who dances with kids.

Netizens feel sad for Sonu Nigam

The video has garnered reactions on social media, with many feeling sad for the singer, who does not remain relevant to the younger generation.

One user wrote on X, "It's truly sad that today's kids don't recognize who the real talent is. Sonu Nigam is an absolute legend - a self-made artist who carved his own path without relying on the new generation's trends. Many of them don't even know who he is. When will they realize the impact of his music? They'll eventually feel sorry for themselves for missing the chance to bow down to the Indian music industry's icon, THE SONU NIGAM."

"Sad that kids today do not recognize who the real talent is. Sonu Nigam is an absolute legend and self-made without the new gen PR," added another.

Another user commented, "I feel bad for him. He is a legend. And look how down-to-earth he is. People don't realize the presence we are lucky to have."
